The hate and loathing for Bush is virulent here and other places- I have the same feeling for the dems.

Tit for tat goose and gander!

In 1994 they bitch about not having a loud enough voice in the Contract with America agenda- so they SAY they will not do the same- then as soon as they get in there they do the SAME thing and shut the GOP out of the first 100 hours as much as possible. HYPOCRITES!

I'm not going to watch. I can't bear listening to the man speak.

[Not Afraid]

If I watch, my eyes may get stuck in a rolling motion.

Especially after we had such good new from the latest BBC Poll.

I love Hillary.
I wonder if the Dems will drown out Bush again this year with rebellious applause...

I'll set my MOXI to record it. Though I hate George Bush JR I just have to listen to him speak cause he's such a fool! Here's a few jems he's sputtered over the past few years:

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis.

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." —Greater Nashua, N.H.

"They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark.

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C.


Here's one of my personal favorite GB JR quotes:


"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C.
