I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, but I wish the democrats would come across a little stronger anyway!

I know exactly what you mean...they have the ones with the bow ties and nerdy looks, and soft voices speaking..the spineless jellyfish are the ones to rebut Bush. You'd think they could have someone whose speech can make an impact.:@

Ok, I can see the diagnosis. You Republicans have selective listening.

Yeah, they lack the brainless shovinistic type, such as Bush.

One of the best speeches I've ever heard! Go BUSH!!!

You should have paid attention in history class then.

By the way, is it common to hear excessive Hootin and Hollerin™ during a state of the union address? I had to turn it off it got so annoying. Why can't they just let him speak and get it all out there? You'd think it was the Academy Awards or something.

Actually the Majority of Alaskans support Oil Drilling unfortunately. It seems the Western Way of life is more important then protecting that awesome landscape. Ahh who am i kidding it will all be melted in 30 years anyway

Umm, MaskedAvatar, you are aware that such online polls are almost relative, if not immaterial? Why? Because any political group or political discussion board, such as democraticunderground or freerepublic, for example, can simply 'flood' such polls, making them loopsided or 'weighted'?

It's a wonderfull place, I highly recomend going to Alaska before we actually put it to use

In all seriousness though, it is about 1/3 the size of the continental US - there is no way they ruin it all.

The only problem with it is that it's light out till like 11 at night.

Well thanks, for the link I just did my vote.

The intelligence of Fox News watchers. On their poll on Social Security Reform, 10% say we need to get rid of Social Security enitirely. LOL! Fox News viewers need a brain.

I agree with them.

I know for a fact I can save better the the federal government can. Why should my money work at 50% of what I could get it to?

Why should I be FORCED to give the federal government my money so they can save it for me?

I trust my own investment prowess far more then the abillity of the government.

Why are Republicans so narrow minded. Just because someone disagrees with their way of thinking, doesn't necessarily mean that they are a Democrat.

They might register as one, to vote in the primarys, but there are many shades of politics, (ways of living), etc... rather than just the "Dems" & the Republicans.

My understanding of statistics leaves yours for dead.

Anyone can lie with them.

What the hell does "almost relative" mean, anyway?

QED.

Hallelujah!

There has been a rally from 73% pessimism back to 72% pessimism.

Where are the supposed "51% of Americans" when ya need 'em?

Talk is cheap. Provide to the contrary.

Glad you admitted such. Thank you.

It's there for your own security. In case of many things. It would be ridiculious to get rid of it.

YES! Finally someone admitted it, Ron Reagan said that the use of those parents was a political prop! Finally, someone admits it!
