How did Democrats respond to Bush's SOTUs?

We've all seen how Republicans in the chamber refuse to clap or stand for even the most basic, agreeable notions - how did Democrats behave during the Bush SOTUs? Please tell me the Dems weren't sour pusses!

They are more mature. Not shouting, 'you lie' or trying to still the vote....

now...

These are shallow, ignorant, blinded by racism, assholes.

Talk to any old timer DC person and they will tell you that the teaparty people are idiots, literally not intelligent enough to wash dishes but instead run the country.

if they disagreed with them on an issue. But the most insulting thing I'll never forget is that a/h shouting 'you lie' at Obama.

in the House Chamber.


We are dealing with people who want a civil war, a fight to the death war so they can own people again.

And not just black people but all people...Why do you think they so desperately fight anything and everything that benefits the working person, they believe that if they opened that shoe store and paid for the rent and sign and equipment and shoes, that NOBODY helped them, forget the infrastructure that without they would make almost ZERO sales, and that they have the right to pay you $2.00 an hour if that is what the market will allow.
