of Congress gave mocking, jeering applause for a President who stated
that he did not have to / could not run for another election ?
GOP are just a disgraceful, shameless herd of swine.

(5,954 posts)One the one hand: Yes. The Democrats applauded sarcastically when George Bush announced that his efforts to privatize Social Security had failed. I think that was the 2006 SOTU Address?
On the other hand: That doesn't really matter, given that the Republicans set the bar pretty low by yelling "YOU LIE!" at the President during his 2010 (I think) SOTU Address.

(1,306 posts)The Dems were applauding that a putrid policy failed --
that is not a personal attack.
What the GOP does, without consequences, is VERY personal.

Well, he couldn't have been more wrong, inside-out, upside-down, and backwards. The GOP is the party of infants. Unruly, spoiled, entitled, tantrum-throwing infants, and damned poor sports. YES the CONS do hit below the belt. As often as possible. Maybe because, as people, they are VERY small. And very puny.
Dems always seem to be more adult.

You might have said
Oh!
a hundred things, to plan
by varying the tone ... for example just suppose
Aggressive: I, Sir, if I had such a nose,
Id have it amputated on the spot!
Friendly: But it must drown itself a lot,
you need a drinking-bowl of a special shape!
Descriptive: Its a rock! ... A peak! ... A cape!
Whats that, its a cape?
.. Its a peninsular!
Curious: That oblong bag whats it serve you for?
A sheath for scissors? Or a writing case?
Gracious: Do you love the winged race
so much, that you benignly set yourself
to provide their little claws with a shelf!
Insolent: Sir, when that pipe of yours glows
does the tobacco smoke rise from your nose
and make the neighbours cry, your chimneys on fire?
Considerate: Have a care, ... lest your head grow tired
of such a weight ... and its the ground you sit on!
Tender: Have a small umbrella fashioned,
for fear lest in sunshine it lose all its colour!
Pedantic: That rare beast, Aristophanes, Sir,
named Hippocamp-elephanto-camelos,
must have on its head such flesh, such a solid boss!
Familiar: The latest fashion, my friend, that crook
for hanging your hat on? True, its a useful hook!
Eloquent: No winds at all, majestic nose
can give you colds! Except when the mistral blows!
Dramatic: When it bleeds its the Red Sea!
Admiring: What a sign for a perfumery!
Lyric: Is this a conch? ... are you a Triton?
Simple: This monument, when does it open?
Respectful: Sir, allow me to congratulate you
thats what we call owning a gabled view!
Rustic: Nah! That thing a nose? No way, not it!
Thats a dwarf pumpkin, or a giant turnip!
Military: Point that thing towards the cavalry!
Practical: Do you want it entered in the lottery!
Certainly, sir, it would be the biggest prize!
Or lastly ... parodying Pyramuss sighs:
Behold the nose that mars its owners nature
destroying harmony! It blushes now, the traitor!
- Thats an idea, sir, of what you might have said, ...

The GOP made a complete fool of themselves, by clapping(when not needed), and then continuously sitting on their asses when it came to supporting the middle class. How anyone can support these assholes is incomprehensible. If you think about it, he really made them out for who they really are, and should increase our chances in 2016.

I've heard hundreds of time over the last four years that "Obamacare is a failed policy"*. Yet, I've NEVER heard a republican who says that articulate how or why it is "failed". That's because it has been an overwhelming success.
*it's not a policy, it's a LAW!

(3,544 posts)I don't know how I could afford insurance without it. It happened for us, just in time. I can sleep at night knowing I have insurance. For my instance, the ACA was a life saver.
Note: I'm a little concerned about how it will affect my taxes, yet to be done. It really doesn't matter though. If I owe, I owe. If I don't, I don't.

(2,382 posts)... ESPECIALLY his support of the corporate coup d'etat called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the list enumerating the egregious transgressions perpetrated by the Republicans in Congress serves to illustrate the irrefutable fact that the Republicans in Congress are a seething nest of pathological liars consumed with malice and devoid of even a molecule of common human decency. To quote that obscene waste of skin, Ted Nugent, they are "subhuman mongrels" who defile everything this country once stood for. And that's on their BEST day!
