Neener neener neener! You’re too slow!
I just love this one, as it shows the Bushites marching in lock step with the New York Times (which used virtually the identical language recently in an editorial) and the “immigration reform” advocates in the Democratic Party.
Damn unions, trying to assure decent pay and working conditions for employees! We’ll bring in immigrants who won’t turn up their noses at our sweatshop conditions.
And bizarre as it is, when you’ve got even sven making effective cracks about your “spending discipline”, George, it’s time for you to turn over your borrow-and-spend disaster to some knowledgeable financial experts.
You’re making this too easy.
You are certainly correct. There are still dumb people in the US.

Wow, you nailed him! Nice job. How dumb, dropping two letters after typing thousands. If you look closely, you may be able to find a few more. Why don’t you do so, and write up a report. You could even include grammatic revisions and suggested improvements.
Of course, nobody would think you were a complete dingleberry for making such nitpicky observations.
It’s her, not him, and she dropped three letters, not two. And you are missing a question mark after your fifth sentence.
It must be Bush’s fault.

I always find it most effective to pick a couple key points, or those points most important to me, and hit them with a bit more than a sarcastic one liner. But that’s just me. Maybe I just don’t have the stamina for a line by line dissection.
Myself, I had to turn off the S of the U address. Not because of Bush’s hypocrisy or my distaste for partisan politics, but because I thought the 60 some odd standing ovations, whooping, and hollering were a national embarrassment. I’ve seen pep rally’s held with more decorum.
Is that the best you can do Shodan? Forgetting addressing the meat of the OP, or any of the valid questions raised, just zing her over a few typos.
What are you 11?
Nah, just wasn’t interested in a line-by-line. If she’d posted it in GD, maybe.
Not that it’s much different from every other "No faaaaaair! I want free health caaaaaare!’ that she has posted a few dozen times before.

Shodan
PS -
You’re missing a comma. Neener neener neener.
Fuck it, Shodan is just doing things consistent with people that live under bridges
Some pathetic cry for help I suppose.
I spy with my little eye…a missing period! Oh, and someone trying to be subtle with an accusation of trolling.
There are spaces before and after an ellipsis.
(Gaudere’s Avenger flies off into the night.)
Granted, hardly anyone watches, cares, or remembers the opposition party response to the SOTU. But it did lead me to a question. Is Nancy Pelosi really that awful at delivering a speech? Considering geographical distance, etc I have very little knowledge of her abilities, strengths, and weaknesses as a politicion. But last night, she looked pretty much like she was reading cue cards but had a fear that if she misspoke those cue cards would come to life and bite her arms off.
Must be the same eye that allows you to see facts and reason.
Let’s nip our worthless hijack in the bud ok?
…and dump a steaming load of bullshit on top of them.
Um…never mind. 
And because you are an idiot of alarming proportions, here is my blow-by-blow response:
Just like last time. I know you were a liberal arts major, but didn’t they make you take civics in high school, and didn’t that class mention the Electoral College?
They weren’t free before. See, Mr. Bush said “free and sovereign.” The word ‘and’ is a conjunction, indicating that the two items must be considered together. You are focusing myopically on ‘sovereign,’ as though the President is unaware that Iraq was sovereign before this all started. They were – but they were not free.
Please review Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution, undoubtedly taught during a day when you were absent from class. The President’s job includes foreign relations.
When you’re done with that review, please review the ENTIRE FREAKIN HISTORY OF AMERICA. While it’s true that the isolationist viewpoint you offer had a great deal of support in earlier times, I’d suggest that from the latter half of the twentieth century onwards, it’s been understood that this country has a role to play in providing guiding ideals to other countries. See “Truman Doctrine, The” for more details.
Given your utter cluelessness as demonstrated herein, I wouldn’t hire you to keep water wet. But the economy started going south before he took over, and recovered under his watch.

Why do we need crap like education, healthcare and stuff? There are still dumb people and dead people, so it must not be working. We could be using that money on essential priorities, like dropping a few billion on Iraq.

In just three years, every Native American will go to Havard and every Black person will be a CEO. All it took was No Child Left Behind to destroy racism forever. Neat-o.

Wow. Three strawmen in a row. Will Dorothy and the Tin Man be joining us for tea?
“Fucked over a log.” Ah, yes, because colleges have an intrinsic right to federal services.
I’m pretty certain he’s not referring to class actions for workers’ rights, but for product liability suits.
Get your sticking hand out of my procket, you freakin reject. “Give everyone access?” I have access right now, and my family does too. Why? Because I pay for it. Now you want me to pay for your health care too, because you’re too stupid to manage to pay for it on your own.
Drug dealers no longer exist. Check.
You’re just saying that you want me to pay for your education as well as your health care? Fuck it, why don’t you just pass a law that I’m forced to adopt you. In your system, I’ve got to pay for your expenses like you were my kid anyway.
Question: stock market doing better, or worse, than the current rate of return of investments for that money?
Unlikely, as long as you’re a tenant.
Question: stock market doing better, or worse, than the current rate of return of investments for that money?
It’s better that MY MONEY goes back to the government to fund your entitlements than to my kid, eh?
You want judges making the law? Or do you just want the law to be what you want it to be, regardless of how your fellow citizens feel?
Remember America? The land of self-governance? Where we have a democracy?
I know, I know. Asleep that day in class too, were you?
My gosh, what a fucking moron you are. RIGHT NOW, there is judicially-created abortion law. Bush’s nominees would undo that, leaving the issue to the legislatures. They will not “legislate” abortion. They will leave the job of legislating to the legislature, whose function is… ? Is…?
I know. Had a doctor’s appointment that day in class, right?
The job of the legislature is to MAKE THE LAW. (Hint: the word ‘legislate’ is relevant here).
Me, too. I don’t even have the energy to continue this.
When people talk about how clueless liberals are, I’m sure they’re thinking about you and people like you. There is plenty of valid response to Mr. Bush’s policies, and plenty of ground upon which reasonable people may disagree. You live nowhere near that ground.
While I must applaud Bricker’s retort to Even Sven’s OP, I take exception to one comment. In response to Dubya’s line
and Even Sven’s childish obscenities, Bricker wrote,
Anti-gay legislation is not self-governance, but the tyranny of the majority. You may as well eulogize the Jim Crow laws of the South as “self-governance.” The bigoted hetero majority is intent on passing laws to formalize de facto legal discrimination against gay couples. In the state you and I share, Bricker, our state legislature is passing laws that take away rights from gay couples that you and your wife enjoy as a matter of course. The laws that are passed do not affect you or the people who pass them; they are intended as discriminatory measures aimed squarely against me and mine. This is not democracy.
Huh? 
As you know, I disagree with those laws. I absolutely support state recognition of same-sex marriage.
But I am also firmly convinced we wouldn’t be in the position of watching states fall all over themselves to pass state constitutional amendments prohibiting same-sex marriage were it not for the looming spectre of judicially-imposed recognition.
My support here is for the process, not the result.
And knowing what you know now – if you could wave a hand and get a US Supreme Court 5-4 decision mandating same-sex marriage recognition… at the risk of a similar backlash and the passage of a federal marriage amendment prohibiting same… would you?
While I agree that bigotry and/or ignorance is motivating the votes against same-sex unions and marriages, I cannot agree that the proper course is to work the judicial route; it will simply set the cause back further.
[quote=Bricker}Question: stock market doing better, or worse, than the current rate of return of investments for that money?[/quote]
I’m sure she doesn’t know Bricker. She’s been told that big bad Bush wants to “gut” Social Security, and she believes it unquestioningly with both of her quivering little socialist brain cells. However, just to try to dispell a tiny bit of ignorance, let’s tell her, shall we?
If you invested money in the stock market in 1929, before the crash, and left it there untill today, (in a nice diversified conservative portfolio, yadda, yadda, yadda), you would have realized a 6-7% return on your money. That same money generated just a tiny bit over 1% in return with the Social Security system. Make no mistake, the government is still going to take the money out of my pocket VIA the FICA tax no matter what, but allowing me to control how it’s invested for my future rather than having the U.S. government stick it under their national matress and filch from it when they need to pay welfare benefits to even sven so she doesn’t have to touch the 20K she has in the bank and seems like a pretty good idea to me.
