Grade Webb's Democratic Response

[mvd]

Poll question: Grade Webb's Democratic Response

A+ all the way IMO from me.

[grytpype]

1. I had to give him an F because he didn't call for impeachment.

[mvd]

3. Remember, he only had 8 minutes

But yes, I am hoping for impeachment soon.

[grytpype]

12. Actually I gave him an A+.

[Umbram]

2. B+

Grade inflation is a bad thing.

He said the right things, but it wasn't terribly rousing.

[mvd]

4. I only use a bit of grade inflation for CDs

LOL

[ThomWV]

7. You're Only Partially Right

It wasn't 'rousing' but it sure was sobering. I think that is what it was ment to be, a sobering reminder that there are indeed grownups in the world, and George is not one of them.

[mvd]

9. Yes, I would use inspiring

Especially after the crazy drivel that it followed.

[Umbram]

20. Yea, it was a sobering message

but I would have enjoyed some minor manifestations of conviction.

I was busy trying to determine whether there was one or two teleprompters.

Don't get me wrong - B+ is "very good." An 'A' should be reserved for something
that makes me cheer/cry/react in some way other than make me nod.

[mvd]

22. I understand - not trying to affect how you felt

But I gave him an A+ because I thought it was what a Response should be and it gave me confidence that he really feels what I feel and isn't the typical politician. This was the kind of speech that could even convince Republicans.

5. get some generals to speak about the rebuttal, they will line up

behind WEBB. Yes!

[patrice]

6. A not A+ just because of delivery. I wanted to see him be a little less stiff.

[mvd]

16. He started out a bit nervous I guess

Thought he recovered nicely, though. There was only one thing I would have done differently: he shouldn't have changed "against the war" to "against the handling of the war."

[patrice]

26. He DID say though that he had been against it from the first

mention, so I took that being against the handling of the war as a representation of the Public's attitude toward it.

[mvd]

27. I liked the fact he emphasized that, too

I'm giving him an A+, so I don't think the change was a big deal. It's just something I noticed.

[Richard Steele]

8. Only an "A" from me. Need to leave some room for when...

...he gives a speech that TOPS this one. And I have a feeling he will.

[Guaranteed]

10. The foreign policy aspects were brilliant.

The economic stuff was important, too, but not that creative.

[dailykoff]

11. A+

Hell of a speech, near-perfect delivery. Impressive!

[porphyrian]

13. Heh, one D...

...must be the East German judge.

[Swamp Rat]

37. D for Dickhead, Dickless, Dildo, , Dilweed, Dummy, Dumkoff, Dipshit, etc.

:)

[RB TexLa]

14. A-

[unkachuck]

15. A+....n/t

[underpants]

17. PERFECT

18. Robber Barons. I am glad he used that term.

[mvd]

19. And he had a knockout of an ending

:hi:

[alfredo]

23. I posted the transcript here in GD, I loved the

delivery too.

[ms liberty]

31. I've been just giddy since he said it!

It's been my personal term for the greedy CEO's and corporatocracy for some time now. It is a term that the average american understands completely...almost instinctively.

And his explanation of our economic situation was simple, straightforward, and full of common-sense.
Anyone in middle america who heard him, got it.

[alfredo]

35. It was so well done. It was real, it came from his heart.

He wrote the response himself.

[myrna minx]

21. He was articulate, succulent and he gave a warning to the Bushes that

was no longer surrounded by lock stepped sycophants. Bravo! :applause:

[Guaranteed]

24. Succulent?

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far... ;)

[myrna minx]

30. LOL! Stoopid spall chek.

:rofl:

I meant succinct. The wine is a-flowing at the minx house. :hi:

[Wizard777]

25. I couldn't argue with a single word of it. n/t

[ms liberty]

28. I think I'm in love! He called greedy CEO's 'robber barons'!!!!

I had to give him an A+ - I thought he was awesome!

[Wizard777]

32. The republican response to the minimum wage increase. It will hurt small business.

The rational was that the people at the bottom get a two dollar an hour raise. Then everyone wants a two dollar an hour raise. Ooooookay so if the CEO gets a 400 Million Dollar Bonus. The next day everyone in the company wants their 400 Million Dollar Bonus too. Right?

[Wizard777]

29. I especially like how he guaged military sacrafice.

All I've heard from average Republican is thats what they do stupid.

[FrenchieCat]

33. Fuckin' A

:headbang:

[EST]

34. Sen Webb absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Bush is a giggling idiot.
Webb was stern and dead serious without the usual kowtow crapola about bipartisan hokey.

These are stern and serious times with a desperate need for a stern, serious outlook and a compulsion for telling the bottom line, no bullshit truth.
I was in blood pressure city until a couple minutes into Webb's speech and he calmed it down. THIS is what I expect to see when I view a U S senator, not the lying, transparently sub average mumblings that so often pass for senatorial thinking.

[Swamp Rat]

36. A+ for mentioning New Orleans

:cry:

[Divine Discontent]

38. HE WAS GRIPPING

And worthy of VP or PRES
