Concise run-down of everything that's going wrong for the Republicans, including: approval ratings, the budget, the economy, energy costs, Katrina, Medicare, Homeland security, illegal domestic spying, Iraq, and terrorism and lack of stability in the Middle East.
Whew! Is there anything they haven't screwed up?
Typically, a President gets a bounce in the polls after a State of the Union address.
Unless you're Dubya. Then your approval rating doesn't budge. He's still at the same dismal 42% approval rating he was in November.
Amusing graphic justifying Dubya's concern about "Human-Animal Hybrids."
That traitor Lieberman is the first on his feet to give a standing ovation for Dubya's War on Iraq.
Not the first Democrat. The first person in the whole room.
The article includes a video clip.
Even Duyba's own administration admits the State of the Union address was a pack of lies, at least regarding reducing our dependance on oil from the Middle East.
Doesn't anyone proofread the damn speech before Dubya speaks?
Charges have been dropped against Cindy Sheenan. Apparently, it is indeed legal to wear the wrong T-shirt to the State of the Union address.
Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer apologized to Sheenan and Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. Young. Gainer admitted "Neither guest should have been confronted about the expressive T-shirts."
The funniest moment of the State of the Union address was when Dubya mentioned that Congress refused to privatize Social Security. It led to a standing ovation. This article includes a video of the event.
Dubya wasn't please. You don't argue with the King.
As usual, the State of the Union address was full of lies and half-truths. Here's just a few of them.
Complete transcript of the State of the Union address. Mostly lies and empty rhetoric.
Here's an old classis: "On September the 11th, 2001, we found that problems originating in a failed and oppressive state 7,000 miles away could bring murder and destruction to our country."
Here's a new piece of insanity: "Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms; creating or implanting embryos for experiments; creating human-animal hybrids; and buying, selling or patenting human embryos."
Human-animal hybrids?
Predictably, the State of the Union address was chock full of lies. Here's a pretty good list of them.
Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young, gets ejected from the State of the Union address for wearing a shirt that said "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom."
Cindy Sheenan gets arrested at the Capitol for wearing the wrong T-shirt to the State of the Union address. Here's the story in her own words.

Real Conservatives think Dubya is full of crap.
Conservatives have played an important roles in US politics. They slow the rate of social change to a manageable rate. And they prevent over-spending on the budget. Republicans today aren't Conservatives. They're currently rolling back social change and they're spending money in amounts of which Liberals never dreamed.
