Jim Webb will give Democratic response to State of the Union

[me b zola]

Per CNN, Jim Webb will give Democratic response to State of the Union.

I think that this is a great choice. Give 'em hell, Jim!

1. You bet. Webb will attract more viewers than any other Dem. eom

[jsamuel]

2. I like Jim and all, but why is it always someone from Virginia?

why not Montana?

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
James Monroe
Patrick Henry

5. Uhoh. That's gonna leave a mark.

On Dear Leader. It's gonna be not unlike him having his procreative nodules dropped into a woodchipper. While still attached.

6. Great!!!

Here's a guy talented enough to write his own speeches. I guarantee Jim Webb has something to say.

[madokie]

10. Senator Webb seems to understand what is going on and is smart enough to articulate his message

He will do the Democratic Party proud, I would bet on that.

[Demit]

7. ooo (big smile spreading across face), I'm looking forward to THAT.

[Virginia Dare]

8. That's exciting news!

I hope he gives dubeeya a good old fashioned whoop-ass.

[madokie]

12. as roy d mercer would say. a 55 gallon barrel of whoop-ass

[wakeme2008]

11. GREAT NEWS and it is somebody NOT running in 2008

:) :) :)

[Auntie Bush]

14. But maybe some running in the 2012 or 2016. We can hope can't we? n/t

[wakeme2008]

18. NOT 2012 because

we won 2008 and the Dem President will run for a second term :)

[Auntie Bush]

20. My bad! I knew that! But you get the idea. n/t

[deepthought42]

13. sweeeeeeeeeet. n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Wow! That's A Heck Of An Early Honor For Him. Go Jim!

I'm look extremely forward to hearing the rebuttle. I think he'll do a great job!

[Auntie Bush]

16. Couldn't ask for anyone better in my book!

Also, he's not considered a wild eyed Liberal and anyone with a brain will listen....even conservatives and Freepers!

[Bobbie Jo]

17. Perfect choice

Now...if the networks will only air it.

Webb's gonna kick ass. :kick:

[bananarepublican]

26. A true defender of American values vs ... (fill in the blanks)!

I really hope JW socks it to Bush.

Why can't he talk about:-
* Stolen elections - American democracy protection.
* Black-hole-like-non-Republican oversight - Republican corruption and ethical collapses.
* Catastrophic incompetence - Katrina, Iraq... to infinity.
* Right-wing-freak-show 'Cold War' = Right-wing-freak-show 'War on Terror'.

JFK stood up to the 'Cold War' promoters of the day (and the money men behind them), Bush folded (at best) or conspired (at worst) to the 'War on Terror' neocon (money-men-cut-out) agenda.

Jim Webb has proven he is willing to take a bullet for his country (don't forget his son is currently in the firing line). Why can't he challenge Bush in some way on that score?

Spleen vented... I understand why he won't go as far as the above suggests. But Jim! Please kick some ass!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

19. That should be GOOD. N/T

[watercolors]

21. Fantastic!

I am so impressed by him, one hellva fellow. Give them lots of grief!

[helderheid]

22. is that tonight?

[me b zola]

24. No, it's not tonight,

I'm not sure about the date, but I think that it may be Jan 27th. As it gets closer the media will be playing it up more & more.

[Octafish]

23. Deck him, Jim.

Don't hold back.

[Glimmer of Hope]

25. Perfect choice!
