SOTU III

Wow. W takes on radical Islam as the primary threat to freedom of the world. "We love our freedom, and will fight to keep it." Most of the Democrats refuse to join in the applause on the main "victory in Iraq" points. Shameful. There it is: the Democratic party's real problem. A significant portion of it has no will to defend the country's core principles and values. What is the sound of one Lieberman clapping?

The President looks grim. "We must stand behind our military in this vital mission". Finally the Ds clap ("it isn't the troops we oppose; just the policies that put them there." Do they honestly believe the public is going to make such a distinction or vote for people who do?)

Prolonged applause for "no nukes for Iran." Some one should move a resolution giving our president the authority he needs to prevent that. How about you, Senator Schumer?
