White House press secretary Robert Gibbs expressed tepid approval on Thursday for Sen. Mark Udall’s idea that the parties sit together, not separate, during President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 25.
“I haven't had an opportunity to talk to some folks around here on that. It's an interesting idea,†Gibbs told reporters on Thursday. “Maybe not having a physical aisle separate us would be a good thing as we talk about the state of our union, and that's everybody. That's not one side or the other. That's everyone.â€
Yeah right..... it has nothing to do with even his side is unhappy with the 0?? :lmao:
-
Udall is pandering to the significant part of the population that is tired of the sniping, the backbiting, and cheap shots, and Obama.
Other than that, screw Gibbs. He ain't gone yet?
-
Maybe the Supreme Court Justices should be mixed in with the crowd so it won't be conspicuous that one is missing. :fuelfire:
-
I think it's a reasonably good idea, myself, and worth trying at least the once. Being as next year isn't an election year and there is plenty of time for both sides to forget it ever happened if either of them don't like the result, seems like an opportune time to try it.

It is a pity that sanity isn't nearly as contagious as crazy.

Now the DUmmiecrats want to use conservatives as human shields.
Hey, you DUmmies made this mess, now sit in it.
-
Of course they think it's great, they want to intimidate the Republicans into silence.

The democrats will use it as a photo op.

The democrats will use it as a photo op for political advantage.
If they're allowed to do it, that is. But then can you think of any friggin' thing they don't try to turn for political advantage? (Hint: look at the political circus they've turned the murder of 6 and the attempted murder of 8 more, just last weekend.)
Personally, I think Rep. Boehner needs to take a page from the ObeyWon playbook (just this once), tell Nazi Pelosi "We Won", and point her sorry ass back to her chair.
:foff:

Only if the democRATs go through a de-lousing station first.

Nah, Gibbsy's punching his resume with hopes of becoming a highly paid Fox News commentator, so he does need to sound "fair and balanced" now :)

Well, I don't worry about whether the lurkers get it. Most everybody else is smart enough to put your shower reference together with mine and come to the right conclusion.

Goes without saying for the smart folks around here. The smart folks register here and the dimwits just lurk so they don't have to actually participate. Then whenever one of them does, he or she gets royally reamed. In a more or less polite fashion, of course.
As for the :kumbaya: :drink:NO WAY IN HELL do I want any frigging liberal cross contamination. Besides, the Left is gonna spin this to make the Right look bad no matter what, so why bother trying to make nice?
And why isn't dormouse Gibbs gone yet anyway?

GOP Leader Endorses Mixed Seating for State of the Union
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/gop-leader-endorses-mixed-seating-for-state-of-the-union/#
A House GOP leader has come out in support of a Democratic Senator‘s proposal that Democrats and Republicans not sit on separate sides of the aisle during the president’s upcoming State of the Union address. It would be the first time the party’s mixed during the speech.
Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado on Wednesday suggested ending the tradition of separating lawmakers into Republican and Democratic camps. He said that seating arrangement offers a negative symbol of division.
On Friday, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) endorsed the idea, joking that he might even sit next to Democratic Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (MD).
-
It's a mistake (for Republicans). Obama and his henchmen don't want tv viewers to see how many more Republicans there are now compared to Dems. Beohner's (private) answer should be "**** them."
-
The Repubs are too stupid to realize the Democraps stab them in the back every chance they get. More fraternizing with these critters is stupid.

Oh my.

Agreed. Show me a Republican who talks about "bipartinaship" and I'll show you a traitor.
There is no dealing with democRATs. They are the enemy.
-

Oh my.
That was civil, Tots. I'd use a concentrated sulfuric/nitric acid mix.
-
Pointless feel-good publicity stunt. ::)

Bingo. They're simply trying to convey the idea to their constituents that playing nice-nice is going to make everything peachy-keen.
The comments about Zyklon-B are out of line, IMO. They sound hard-ass as hell, but that kind of talk is just that - talk.
Congress has an obligation to be civil - but that doesn't mean you have to be uncivil, especially when war is being waged. By all means, Boehner & Co should be taking no prisoners, but in an appropriate way.

I'll happily sit with democrats.
Right after i have a big helping of beans and eggs.

Now now, we're supposed to play nicey nice with the other side and just sit there like fools.

So, does this mean we don't have ride in the back of the bus anymore?

Thats all this is - TV is all about image - and when America sees how much Obama has lost, many more fence-sitters will give consideration to being on the winning team.
Always remember - Democrats only like 'bipartisanship' when they are behind. When they control the agenda, bipartisanship goes out the window and under the tires.

Momentum builds for bipartisan State of the Union seating (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47630.html)
Momentum is building to mix the traditionally partisan seating arrangements at the State of the Union later this month, even though there’s no clear plan for how to actually make that happen.
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.
All told, more than two dozen members of Congress have publicly endorsed the idea. >>>
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.
**************
When will the repuke leadership get the message? The Dimms are spinning into dog poop over thier losses and they don't know how to lessen its' effects. This is just a stunt to fool people who watch the SOTU speech to forget how few Demagogues there are left in the House and to make it look like the entire place is cheering and applauding.
This is not what we voted for and not what we expect. If they had any real stones, they would get up en masse and walk out in the middle of Kommisar Barry Mussolini's, Lie of the Union Address.
:hammer:
-
And the usual suspect Republicans line up to be counted among the Dims.
-
No no no no no, the Democrats are only proposing this for self serving reasons.
-
More style over substance BS.
I think it's time to start calling our representatives to let them know that we didn't vote for them to make useless gestures to appease superficial liberals, but to govern according to the Constitution and to repeal bad liberal legislation.

Ah no, the magnificent Barry assured the Republicans they could sit at the back of the bus. :whatever:
-
What a joke.
Anyone even remotely keen on politics will not buy one second of this.
-
So if Obama attacks the Supreme Court like he did last year, does that mean that the Republicans have to applaud him for it? All in the spirit of bipartisanship, don't ya know.
-
And what is to be gained by this poointless gesture, no pics of an entire section of the room unmoved by barry's Mussolini like chin thrusts?
-
So we're linking bullshit to chimeras and calling it an act of good governance.
-
So the half dozen or so RINO's that usually embrace the touchy-feely bullshit from the left constitutes "momentum"! After the shellacking the left got, the Republicans better not do this. I think it's important for the country to see how much the balance of power has shifted, thus how important their vote was. Well, that and if I have to listen to days and days of replays, I want to look at the chamber and gloat and laugh my ass.

We only managed to gain a certain amount of true TEA party candidates, may of the old faces are still there, waiting to carry out politics as usual.

I don't give a rat **** on a soda cracker where people sit.
What matters is this idiotic gesture is giving linkage to the act of a deranged mind to political discourse. It would be akin to investigating Jewish bankers to quell the squealing from Nazi pigs about why the Weimar was such a miserable failure. This ridiculous circus stunt is giving credence to slander built off the corpses of the innocent to stifle debate among free people.
Maybe the RINOs are to blame but the RINO to TEA Party ratio is of such secondary concern as to not even ping my radar.
-
So let me get this straight:
1. Deranged idiot shoots up people in Arizona.
2. Democrats go on immediate offensive blaming GOP et al.
3. Rhetoric goes viral.
4. Deranged idiot exposed as lunatic, but rhetoric doesn't abate.
5. Now Democrats demand, because of the rhetoric THEY caused, that Congress be intermixed.
6. The usual suspects on "our" side, led by Udall, McCain, and the Maine RINOs, support the idea.
So now there will be no discernible identification of participants when cheers are made for Obama. They cannot be singled as a party. When they were in the majority, keep in mind they wanted the republicans to sit in the back.

Joe Wilson should have saved his "You lie!" for this year.

There's nothing official yet on this, is there, from Boehner? Rush just said exactly what I wrote--that this is about hiding their decreased numbers (and disguising Republicans' increased numbers).

Joe Wilson should be calling a spade a spade EVERY year.
Oops. Did I just haz a :racist: :fuelfire:

I have a better idea for goofball Gibbs and his Democrat friends. We get to sit in the front and Democrats sit in the back.
