I was just noticing that everytime there is standing applause, the camara pans in from Clinton's left, showing only the democrat side of the house, standing. The camara angles are avoiding shots that show the Republicans sitting during the applause. The SPIN-MEISTER!

---I'm swearing constantly here. this...this....this CREATURE is just non stop blathering about "we're gonna do this and that", NO MENTION of where this money is coming from, or WHY he feels it's his duty or any of the federal governments duty to DO all this crap. It's beyond disgusting! And did you catch the little blurb about tracking EVERY SINGLE FIREARM AND BULLET! Is he NUTZ?!? And let's make the chinese expand human rights by giving them "equal, everything's cool, trade at will" status. And paying off russia for being such nice guys, destroying all those nasty ole missiles-while leaving out they were replaced with smaller, faster, more accurate, and mobile easier to hide missiles? On and on...once a globalist, always a goon.....geez, now he wants MORE powers to track "money" ostensibly for "drug war" bs. Barf. Need an aspirin. Oh No, know it's "pay our UN dues"!

Not too impressive is it? Sorry, I'm being cycnical again, we live in hope.......

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), January 27, 2000.


Jose,

As soon as that lyin' bastard was announced, I just couldn't stomach watching. I figured it'd be a good time to go do some lurking. I thought I was cynical before but after hangin' around here for a while, I can't even read a newspaper anymore without immediately assuming it's packed with artfully spun bullshit.

Can't tell if you like this two-bit phony but what gets me is that arrogant smirk on his face like he's thinking "yea I got the wool pulled over your eves, you nitwits". And then there's that guy behind him that's about as transparent as a two dollar plate glass window,Old Al Gore. Spare this country the misery. Use a strong ammonia cleaner in the Lincoln bedroom and we're on the road to a more sanitary White House.

I just skipped by around 8:45 CT..was still dismayed that it's still around..but now there is ol' Al sitting up there looking like..well justa another goofy looking Al..I know several Al's so thers's no insult intended..went to food channel and learned how to prepare quesadillas?...was actually afraid to stay and watch and listen ...he can be convincing..he is good at what he does..and he really should be selling used cars..sorry..didn't mean to insult any used car salesmen or persons...

Watching Titanic for the zillionth time. I can't bear to watch Klinton. Jose, if what you say is true, then I guess he is just trying to one-up Bush's NWO speech while he has this one last time.

Liberal Hater:

I don't hate him, I do pray for him but I did not vote for him either time and I can tell you right now I'm not voting for Mr. Gore.

-- JoseMiami (caris@prodigy.net), January 27, 2000.


Zog, I feel for ya. That is why I couldn't watch. I just wait for you guys to give me the disgusting gist. Sorry, I am a slacker, I know.

-- Kyle (fordtbonly@aol.com), January 27, 2000.

I already know the state of the union, I don't need a liar telling me what it is.

"We stand on the mountaintop of a new millinium..."

Ben Franklin pointed at a picture of the sun and asked if it was rising or setting. Clinton thinks it is rising.

Well, Susan Collins is on now.....is anyone roflyao like I am? Does anyone talk like that in real life? She needs to fire her speech coach immediately. Or does she visualize that she is speaking to naked second-graders?

-- Kyle (fordtbonly@aol.com), January 27, 2000.

Well, apparently Frist and Collins use the same coach..and did you know he said, Just think if David Letterman lived in Canada....how would he have got that heart surgery so quick......Folks, it is just getting more bizarre by the minute. Forget Y2K....ever heard of the Twilight Zone?

-- Kyle (fordtbonly@aol.com), January 27, 2000.

Heard that bubba's lips were scheduled to move...so turned off the set...would'a made me ill. It's also too sickening to watch the Reps. sit there and take the crap he hands out.

-- YUK! (FinalYearForThe@Bum.com), January 27, 2000.

My wife wanted to know why I wasn't watching the liar. I told her that I couldn't find my wader boots and my rain coat. I made a few passes through the kitchen where she had it on and what few "sentences" I heard that came from his moving lips only made me angry. I told my wife I have to leave back to my computer because it's getting too deep in here and I don't have my waders.

I did catch a few minutes of the Republican response and I told my wife: "Gee, this is surreal. What planet are we on?" ...sdb

Here's my 'fantasy' State of the Union speech:

"This is a waste of time, as self-congratulation is so demeaning, but I will make an exception this one time."

"The Supreme Court has agreed to phase out all Unconstitutional laws and regulations on a maximum 10 year schedule beginning immediately."

"Congress has agreed to confer with the Supreme Court prior to enacting any new laws or regulations in terms of their Constitutionality."

"Social Security and Medicare will be phased out. Each working citizen will eventually be refunded his entire contribution plus 5% interest. Retired citizens will be moved into private health care and pension plans on a pro-rated basis."

"The nation will revert to it's Constitutionally mandated monetary basis within five years. Therefore, the Federal Reserve System will be rescinded and all outstanding Treasury debt will be canceled. Since the FED will be disbanded, it the Income Tax will be reversed by Constitutional Amendment, with ratification expected within six months."

"We will ask that an Amendment to the Constitution be created and ratified, requiring a strict separation of money and state. Henceforth, no Executive, Legislative, or Judicial action or decision is to be influenced solely or materially by personal or public monetary considerations."

"State sanctioned corporations will be strictly held to have a lower standing under the law than either the States or the Individual. Those corporations that do not abide by our Constitutional framework and associated laws will have their charters revoked immediately."

"You are now free to conduct your lives without interference as long as you act within the guidelines of our Constitution. You are restored the fruit of your labors and the full, unbiased protection of the Individual under the law."

"Thank you and good night."

-- Nathan (nospam@all.com), January 27, 2000.


C'Mon Zog!

According to Klinton, The Chinese are FAR more thrustworthy than American citizens. I think the SOB would like to swap our citizens for theirs...

I think that would be because the Chinese people are USED to being ruled by a dictatorship, their every thought coming from the gov't, with dissenters being jailed without trial. Slick probably has wet dreams about it...

Do you think Alan Keyes could 'pull it off' if he was president?

-- Possible Impact (posim@hotmail.com), January 28, 2000.

PI,

Nope, it's a 'fantasy'. Still,...

-- Nathan (nospam@all.com), January 28, 2000.


PI are you serious? No president can change anything. It is over and has been from the start. Human nature rules! I have been a conspiracy buff for years. But, I found out there is one in every human enterprise. "Fightings and wars among you" and Paul was just speaking to the brand new Church in the first century. You think the world is doing a better job? No one can get as far as Keyes has without a lot of lies told and conspiracies formed.

-- Kyle (fordtbonly@aol.com), January 28, 2000.

I think 'will continue'has been on the nose candy too long. That made about as much sense as a family of elephants trying to crawl down a squirrel hole to hide from the poacher.

-- Liberty Hater (liberty@bell.com), January 28, 2000.

Liberty - LOL!!

I was thinking the same thing. I was going to tell Will that I think she is really losing it, but what's the point? She just snaps back with the same old hate-filled sicko extremist ignorant mumbo jumbo about Clinton and what he does with his weenie. That seems to be of more importance to her then any of the truly important issues which the president spoke about tonight.

"The State of the Union is the strongest it has EVER been", and that is something the crooked Republicrats were never interested in actually achieving. Instead of just making promises, Clinton DELIVERED.

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), January 28, 2000.


Yes but here was the Shrub speakin on the debate last night when asked by the perky media babe about rising oil prices. Now wait for it,it's too precious. He said quote "I'm not big oil, I'm little oil folks." I swear to God. I turned to spouse, we both raised our brows cried in unison "what!!?" and laughed till we cried. THAT is the alternative Tex-a$$ puppet that they are offering to the Klintoon Kronicles. Deliver us. America is d-o-o-m-e-d either way. Can you say "Republicrat" kids?

Well, one good thing about clit-on blowing on and on -- it reduces the billions of dollars per minute speech index.

-- A (A@AisA.com), January 28, 2000.

Please don't use the word "queers." Use "homosexual if you want. Homosexuality is a SIN before God, but that does not justify "Christian" hatemongering.

We need to resist the homosexual agenda while at the same time expressing love and hope to the individual homosexuals. As Christians we dare not descend into the pit of hate, fear and violence against those who live lifestyles with which we disagree.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Ahh, but that's what makes America great, Pro! We can openly rag on every president, it's our constitutional right and we must continue to practice it, lest it gets taken away from us. ;-)

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), January 28, 2000.

Powder, we too, know what the state of the union is.

We watched a PBS documentary on the Chinese Mafia instead. The host was good ol' Robert Stack. It was done a lot like "Unsolved Mysteries" (BTW, whatever happened to "Unsolved Mysteries"?)

It was a very interesting program, not like Clinton's speech. The Chinese syndicate is here in America too. (Just like in Washington with all the Chinese payola. Our President has sold us down the river to the Chinese. My example, not the show's.)

IMHO, Clinton is the ultimate troll.

-- TrollStomper (DoomersUnited@TB2000.Net), January 28, 2000.


Jose,

We didn't waste our time. Televisions are too expensive to replace and the temptation to use some defensive preps on the screen would have been hard to fight.

We have watched one of his presentations during the years he has been in power. What our country has become and what is represented by this spectical is sad. True freedom has been lost and what we have now is people like Y2K pro who aren't educated enough to even realize what freedom is.

Remember the 1950's and the pride in being an American. The pride in what you earned and the confidence in what you could do. Contrast that with now. Most of what you earn is taken. How much you can keep is up to the whims of the rulers. This whole subject is too depressing because I do not see any hope for a change. I see my children even less free than we are now.

-- Mr. Pinochle (pinochledd@aol.com), January 28, 2000.


I watched the whole thing, horrified and spellbound, as Clinton described his vision of the "USSA."

-- Elaine Seavey (Gods1sheep@aol.com), January 28, 2000.

I wonder if the Republicans weren't applauding because they know this is the last time they'll have to listen to that SOB make a State of the Union speech ever again.
