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.
