SOTU and who'd you rather be

State of the Union

Hey how about that State of the Union address? Did anyone else think the best part of the speech was the aftermath? Both Dems and Reps were crowding around a lame duck president with approval ratings in the tank to get a handshake and autograph. Could it be that they all know that history is going to be a kind judge of the man who got the main issue of his day right?

The best line of the entire night was when the president told those who thought that taxes were too low that the IRS accepts checks and money orders and that they could send in whatever additional tax money that they thought was fair. Touché!

Could the Democrat response been any lamer? “Will you join us” Governor Sebelius in trying to pick the tempo and energy of your speech up a bit so that we don’t all nod off between each mechanically delivered line? “Will you join us” governor in not piling one trite Democrat talking point on top of another to the point where you sound like a boring civilized version of Keith Olbermann? And last, why don’t you join us governor?

Bottom line, even if the president did “join them,” they’d still complain about him, still blame everything on him and still nothing would get done. It’s Washington DC. Did you see the one shot of full-time Crooked Land Baron and part-time Senate Leader Reid? It was comical. It would be well worth it to keep Bush in office until 2036 just get that kind of reaction from that dower, humorless, petty wreck of humanity.

Who would you rather be?

But on to more important things. I’ve decided that the best way to determine who to vote for is the “who would you rather be” test.

On the Republican side, who’d you rather be?

A mean spirited, angry, cantankerous, broken down looking old man who has spent nearly three decades in Washington DC getting us to where we are today; who dumped his modest sickly wife who stuck with him through five years as a POW before being throw over board like so much kitchen garbage for younger more attractive and wealthy Coors Beer heiress (hey, that might explain the John Kerry connection); who sponsored an assault on the first amendment because he got caught taking crooked money; who sponsored an open borders amnesty immigration bill; who is willing to wreck the US economy in order to placate enviro whackos; who voted against tax cuts; who calls his opponent a flip flopper even though it was he who took crooked money before voting to ban it; it was he who voted to open the borders and grant amnesty before coming out against his own legislation; it was he who voted against tax cuts before saying he was for making them permanent.

Or you could be;

A pleasant, more attractive, smarter, well spoken younger man; a self-made business man (aka made his own money instead of marrying it) who is a multi millionaire; who has spent his life fixing problems instead of making them; who gained notoriety by saving the Salt Lake Olympics; who married his high school sweetheart and has raised five successful and independent sons. Well you get the point.

Hey did Romney read Lex yesterday? Did you hear him on after the State of the Union shows talking about McCain Feingold/Kennedy/Lieberman?
