Several Senate Republicans have signed on to the effort, along with a few key House leaders, who have endorsed Democratic Sen. Mark Udall’s proposal to head across the aisle – literally – and sit with members of the opposite party during the annual address on Jan. 25.

This State of the Union may not look like the last. We will all be united as one.

[brytlea]

I don’t care where they sit. It’s all photo ops and window dressing. And I want two parties who stand for what they believe in. I don’t want them in Nambie Pambie Land.

[LostInBayport]

I still question whether the Stupid Party really got the message in November. We didn’t give you them House so they could play nice with the people trashing our nation.

I hope the conservatives on the Supreme Court stay home, after the utter disrespect shown to them last time. This time Obama will probably threaten them to their faces to uphold his precious Obamacare.

[LostInBayport]

should be “give them the House”. Time for bed!

[mrsmith]

The proposal came from a group called “The Third Way”, not Udall.

The media prefers to say the idea comes from Udall not “The Third Way”- so they do. It’s not lying in their eyes, it’s helping.

What you said..........

The perfect “No Labels” setting. What more could you ask for? Congresscritters aren’t exactly renowned for their courage.

[celtic gal]

Wasn’t Clinton mentioned in regard to the Third Way? Seems I recall he was involved with this organization.

[Bronzy]

It is on the radio news ABC as I listen. They are saying that it will bring more civility.

[Bronzy]

No, they have not gotten the message. Where do we go?

[montag813]

The GOP is truly the stupid party. Americans accustomed to one side sitting on their hands will now think that EVERYONE LOVE OBAMA! F**k that! Sit on the RIGHT. Boo, hiss, laugh, and yell “You Lie!” and be PROUD of it!

[The Comedian]

The-Government-Party ping.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[goldstategop]

Yeah - civility in libspeak is for conservatives to shut up and nod their heads politely at whatever liberals want. No dissension will be tolerated.

[Texas Eagle]

I got a idea.

Why don't the Congressholes sit in The Gallery and let their bosses sit in The Well.

Or whatever the area is called.

[Cicero]

Morons.

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) announced Friday she is now “co-leader” of the initiative, supported by GOP colleagues Sen. John McCain, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, Maine Sen. Susan Collins and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte.

Kelly Ayotte? Well, that is disappointing.

[goldstategop]

Let’s call the the Senate “No Labels” bunch - the Great GOP moderates.

[muawiyah]

These people are not only IGNANT they are remarkably stupid. We have heavily armed Leftwingtard lunatics running around killing federal judges and these people want to stand there next to equally insane Democrat politicians.

I don't think it's worth the risk.

[Talf]

that is exactly right

[Bridge_toofar]

Democrats were happily ignoring republicans while they had solid majorities in both Senate & House. Bi-partisanship was dead.

Now that the are a minority in the House, all of a sudden the democrats have become rabid bi-partisans.

If republicans fall for this hypocracy, they are fools.
