My wife, who is a moderate/conservative, liked the response very much. Thought he was honest and straightforward. Just a average persons response to the demogogue-in-chief.

The motto of the Beltway GOP.

They always mean well.

…with the 10th Amendment. Time to follow Arizona’s lead

His tone was much better than Jindals. It was short, sweet, and to the point, just what the opposing response should be.

The lighting, set, and audio was an SNL skit. Add the lack of inflection and he looked like Darryl Hammond doing the show opening.

Join the RedState Strike Force

from a PR perspective I think he came off as honest and well meaning response.

Energy please! What was with all the shoulder and arm bobbing?

Deer, meet headlights.

Can we draft someone with stage presence for the next SOTU? I’m inclined to recommend Hannity, Thompson, or Chuck Norris.

But funny and SNL only occasionally visit each other. Uncomfortably UNfunny is the norm, and that would make this response almost exactly like an SNL skit.

I keep pimping this guy, but there is just about nobody as effective as Paul Ryan when he speaks.

The current vote count confirms this latest development…

WHIP COUNT: DEMS LACK THE VOTES

So…

Comprehensive medical liability reform is non-negotiable. As is the removal of all traces of the public option, co-operatives or triggers.

Got a mailing from the RNC and sent the PrePaid envelope back with a Note saying, Not a Dime until you get Republican Senators in-line and on board with a PROPER CONSERVATIVE MESSAGE/STRATEGY!!! Party of NO – Republicans must be the Party of NO [to Bigger Govt.] not the Party of SLOW[er Liberal Incremental-ism]

For those who don’t know what the DDD is:
Daily Dimes Dichotomy – creating an NRSC: Daily Dimes Dichotomy
RNC called – RNC called, I hung up!

the Republican still don’t get it and that maybe their “party of no” demeanor is just a facade. Status quo, indeed.

because I missed the beginning of the response. But it brings up the question of why we seem to put up poor public speakers like this guy and Tom Price to follow the most accomplished public speaker since Bill Clinton.

Content and substance are very important, but the medium is the message. That was one thing that Sarah Palin brought to the podium–the ability to deliver a speech with conviction, even with that irritating speech pattern.

Those speaking opportunities should always be filled with dynamic speakers. The eggheads can give them the words.

A comparison of apples and oranges.

Still, I also vote for Michelle Bachmann, one of the few who can counter NObama’s videorisma.

Other possibilities: Thaddeus McCotter, or…Peter King???

So like any Saturday Night Live skit.

Will someone p[lease tell me where in the Constitution it gives these people the power to do what they’re doing.

If this is not Constitutional, it illegal and we should have some type of recourse.

Time to throw everyone of them out of office and start over!

We get enough vague crap from Obama and co. REP response could have taken the top 3 problems with the bill and highlight them more specifically to get people to question and actually read the details rather than believe Obama’s vague crap. Read and expose the specifics in the bill language that directly refute Obama. Especially the language that deals w/ illegals.

This cult of personality by the arrOgant in Chief is disgusting and sickening, I have facebook friends posting that Obama’s speech brought them to tears. They are so drunk on the kool aid it really is not funny. It’s dangerous for this country.

How much airtime did the networks give for our rebuttal? Serious, it seemed like they gave us 5 minutes and if that was case who the heck decided 5 minutes?

The speech for us lacked specifics as did Obama’s. We need to hit home on specifics.

I get they wanted a Doctor for us to give the speech they should of gone with Coburn in that case

either Mitch Daniels, Palin, or Liz Cheney to respond, IMO.

These 2 paragraphs are the “bombs”:

Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag.

Remember, Mr. President, elected officials work for the people. Forcing a conclusion in order to claim a “victory” is not healthy for our country. We hear you say government isn’t always the answer; now hear us — that’s what we’ve been saying all along.

She’s hitting the right tones on these ones.

Saw him yesterday on CNBC and thought he made more sense than anything I had been hearing from other Republicans.

Didn’t realize until I Googled him this AM that he was running for Governor in my former home state. Godspeed, Mr. Hoekstra.

Which is why we need new leadership.

This party has tons of good ideas and proposals on healthcare reform. What do we get? Recycled political platitudes.

Better than Obama’s lies, but if this continues don’t count on too many midterm gains.
