I Just Can't Believe That There Are People That Clap For This Idiot....
It never fails to amaze me that at the SOTU speech that this guy gets standing O's and applause. Are they living on the same planet as we are?

8. Our Democratic lawmakers still don't get it
This guy is not just the head of the opposing party. He represents everything true Democrats revile. Maybe a few polite claps are in order at the start of the speech, as you applaud the office itself. But I see some Democrats applauding almost every one of this stinker's proposals. It makes me sick.

12. Glad someone feels the same way. I'm desolate. Couldn't one person with a
"safe seat" or one who is retiring stand up and yell something at him - anything????

19. You made a mistake in your header
You referred to "OUR Democratic lawmakers."

They are nothing of the sort.

Never have been, never will.

It's one-party rule in America these days, and will be for a long time to come.

The gravy train is just too damn much fun to ride.

Hillobamwards?

Doesn't matter anymore.

10. I think they should all be wearing clown suits
They are all going to go out and pile into miniature armored SUVs after the speech.

18. "Clown suits"! YES! Thank you for that wonderful image!
I shall imagine them ALL in clown suits until every last one of them is voted out of office and replaced by honest human beings.

13. Just keep in mind they're not anywhere near as bright as we.
(I'm not joking, it's a totally serious observation.)

14. Politeness, tradition... all of that only goes so far
I don't get it either.

I'd be sure to put on a Cheney scowl and sit with my hands "resolutely" in my lap for the duration.

16. I feel betrayed all over again. That's it. I'm turning this BS off
It's all about the future from now on. As far as I'm concerned, Bush is already out of office.

17. They are clapping because they have gotten filthy rich by their complicity.
It's really very simple.
They've got theirs-
Fuck you and yours.
