Gag me. After the tragic shooting in Arizona, the calls from the state-run media are to “calm the rhetoric” and “can’t we just all get along?” You see, the state-run Media, in its infinite wisdom and supreme knowledge, has decided that the horrible actions of a lone shooter, which had absolutely nothing to do with politics and everything to do with a crazed state of mind, should now cause our politicians (mainly Republicans, of course) to calm their rhetoric. Because somehow our Nation’s political discourse affected this crazed lunatic who doesn’t read the news or follow politics. Wrap your head around that one.
Now, in a puppies and rainbows show of a “unity” that does not exist, some Democrats and Republicans are proposing a break with tradition by not sitting in their traditional seats during the State of the Union.

If repubs fall for this, I may have to become a democrat.
Repubs should stay on their side, show how few commies are left.
No doubt. The Pubblies shouldn’t accept the premise. They should stay on their side.

This is very simply a sneaky plan to not show the republican majority. If they’re scattered all over the place it’ll look more evenly split. Plus, if the democrats give a standing ovation, and I’m sure there will be many, the republicans will feel forced to stand as well showing they all love the messiah.
I forget, did they do this after 9/11?
What next? cookies and milk at a play date?
Ok, if several Repubs surround Pelosi and fart incessantly to the point of gagging her, this would be a great idea.
But of course you KNOW McCain is all for it. I KNOW that if there was a 50-50 split in the senate he would, once again, call for c-chairmenships. Man, I wish he’d go away. Not calling for violence! Just go away!
The dims want this for two reasons.
1. The state of the union is on tv and the dims don’t want the appearance that they are so small in numbers and the repubs way outnumber them.
2. They dims want to give the impression that the house of representatives support obama in his prescriptions for this country’s problems.
The state of the union has become the obama show. His speech will be full of cotton candy and incomprehensible sentences spiked with insults and threats to his opposition.
Hammer, meet nail head.
Think of how much more unifying it would be if every Democrat politician were to resign immediately.
The one thing we learned this week is that the left will stop at nothing, and cannot be trusted by any normal thinking human being.
So - I guess - anything suggested by these same liars - should be a no.
As in “you will be lucky if we show up for the speach”.
Who exactly is doing the ‘proposing’?
I put the over/under of SCOTUS Justices appearing at 4.
Heard the Majority whip say he looks forward to it.
This is sad.
I thought we elected them to lead, not bow to the Democrats.
The idea is juvenile at best. Sheesh.
Is it possible for Liberals to be more infantile and manipulative?
