Leftie Group Wants Webb to Rebut Bush Before Joint Session
Group Wants Webb to Rebut Bush Before Joint Session
(CNSNews.com) - A left-wing activist group is calling on Democrats to let Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) rebut the president's State of the Union address before the full joint session of Congress to symbolize the Democrats' "reclamation of power."
VelvetRevolution said the Democratic response to President Bush's address is usually "an embarrassing, limp, pro forma predictable 'hey, don't forget about us!' rejoinder which the TV networks begrudgingly carry which most viewers ignore."
Now, the Democratic response "can truly carry the message - from a level playing field - of how the Democrats envision their plans bettering the state of our union," the group said in a press release.
Webb "should deliver his address to that same jam-packed and receptive chamber as the president is granted, demonstrating that Democrats are running Congress as a co-equal branch of government, and laying out their vision for the country," it added.
"In doing so, the Democrats will finally show what they stand for - and that they will no longer be cowed - instead of merely and meekly serving as bit players and extras in a grand show which George W. Bush no longer leads," the group said.
Wild Thing's comment........
Congressional members are behaving disgracefully, but they are getting away with it. These are very vile nasty people. I heard Sheila Jackson-Lee on the House floor this evening...saying she recommends and endorses cutting all funding for the Iraq War...now.
They are a cackle of cowards that stab the troops in the back. And Jim Webb make me sick, just hearing his name turns my stomach.
They do NOT have the JOB of giving the State of the Union Address...neither does the Supreme Court have the JOB of making laws...but, hey...we know THEY have been guilty of that lately.
The writers of the Constitution must be spinning in their graves.

So then why did we elect these "spoiled children?"
These little "Whiny butts?"
They have to go and spoil all the fun.
Can't you just imagine them as kids on the school playground--just bossing everyone around and then whining to the teacher that no one will play with them?
Georgie stole the election because he's popular and we're not--WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats are behaving like that because they know Republicans don't have the kahunas to stop them. Republicans had control of congress and the White House and didn't do a stinking thing except compromise with Democrats, in effect, allowing Democrats to come out on top of issues.

We have the congress we deserve. Until we stop electing career politicians (and lawyers to boot!) we have no chance of getting the changes that we want. If we want change, we have to make changes. Until then.........
Thanks to Cassandra for the link.
William sends

Two great points, whiny Children with no respect, and compromising Republicans, that is it in a nutshell.
They compromise and then the democrats turn around and blame the result on the republicans, and say how bad it is and the people buy it.
It may be a long time before we get back in control and by then it may be too late.

William says it - career politicians and lawyers.
And, weak willed Rinos.
Another thing I hate are all the congressional caucuses. A caucus is presented as representing some particular minority group. It reality it serves as a elitist organization by barring the majority of Americans interests.

TomR, that's like the Black congressional caucus which has barred Black Republicans. You think they would be truthful in their name and call it Black Democrat Caucus.

Jack that is perfect to put here. Thank you so much! It is like a nightmare, only we are all living it.

Tom, it would be a step forward it we would not let lawyers run for office or judges either. Too many are total lefites.
