#2 I suppose they shouldn't have put the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol during the Civil War either. Too extravagant.

#3 Another effort by the Dims to deligetimize the election and the Presidency of our country.

#4 The counter for this is hilarious. The republicans have announced that they are turning this inaugural into "a four-day long celebration of America's men and women in uniform." There are already scheduled events for soldiers, and those who like them, all over DC. Black tie balls on the high end all the way down to BBQ parties elsewhere. I wouldn't even be surprised if the word went out to military bases around the globe: "You fellas take the day off and have yourselves a party." So, that being said, what would you think of someone who protests "America's young men and women in uniform"?

#6 I walked down to the Capitol yesterday...all the preps are being made. The platform is ready, there are more news trucks than people in DC, and it is FREEZING COLD outside. I hope the weather warms for the event.

#7 2b - didn't I hear the Dem's say it would be a cold day in hell before they'd see GWB win another election. Be careful what you ask for.

#9 I was supposed to be part of the second Reagan inaugural when it fell to minus 17. They canceled the parade, but I still got the entire day off! My only regret is that I can't be there to help scuffle with the LLL sore losers that are planning to attend. Saw one last night on H/C and she was clueless as to why she needed to attend just to protest. If she doesn't like Bush she doesn't have to attend the parade, it's for people who want to celebrate his re-election and paid for by private donors. May the DC police response be swift and violent.

#10 If sKerry had won, would anyone ask him to cancel his inaugural and give the money to the troops?

(crickets, coughing)

Anyone?

#11 I hope the weather will be decent this year. Four years ago it rained and rained and rained.

#13 Were the LLL intelligent, they could easily subvert and suborn security... I'd be wary of this - there's no defense against it!

But there's nothing to fear, here's what coming.

#15 But nary a word about Trump's wedding! Lets count the phonies that show up to that thing and any recent statements they have made about peace, war, charity, etc.

#16 I hope it's about 30 degrees and the cops break out the water hoses.

#17 Funny, I didn't hear all these guys whining about the Indonesians and other South Asians choosing not to cancel their New Year's Eve parties right after the tsunami.

#21 Fred: At this time of crisis- the war, the Tsunami, mud slides in California, buried skiers in Utah et al. I know the U.S. dollar could be used in a wiser manner to benefit all of us*
Yes, the money needs to go to the soldier's for
equipment and any other effort's for fighting this war. ALso, when they all come home- that is another war (personal nature) for those soldier's known as veteran's ** Lets NOT S--T on them and have the funds available to support them ****

#22 Look folks, a puppy was killed today. Yes, an evil car ran over this cute little puppy and it was dragged for several feet. Poor Georgi!

Therefore, the President should confine the festivities to a case of purified water shared amongst family members in a tent pitched in front of the White House.

#23 I will give Trump's new tramp three months, longer if she doesn't say anything except "Nice hair, Don" during that time.
