Should there be a rule about the opposition response?
Listening to Gov. McDonnell's "response" to the State of the Union address it was clear that it was really nothing more than a counter-speech rather than an actual response to what was actually said by the president in his address. Should there be a rule that the opposition response has to actually respond to the address?

Uhhh, two things.
1) His "counter-speech" WAS his response - and a damned GOOD one.
2) This is America, dumb ***. We have the FREEDOM to respond as our CONSCIENCE dictates.
lmao
Are you an American? You sound like someone who is clueless about our liberties & freedoms. Were you home schooled by morons? Seriously, this question - this MENTALITY - is by far the most asinine thought I've read in this forum. DING, DING, DING, DING, DING!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner here. Congratulate the forum's most obtuse poster for asking such a completely ignorant question. Wow.

There should be a rule that anyone who makes the opposition response actually have a functioning intellect instead of partisanship where brains should be.

If you wish the other side to respond line for you have to give the speech to the responder early. 2nd what did ever you require of the opposition will come back to haunt you when they are in power.

That's the trouble with libs, no sense of the Freedom of Speech.
What do you want, a copy of the sotu and counter?
Nobody controls the SOTU speech, nobody controls the counter argument except the
parties involved.
