LOL! That's a good one. The Dems of today are nothing like those you named. How about keeping up to date, Pelosi, Reid, Dean, and a number of other wackos. They are an insult to people like Martin Luther King jr and President Kennedy.
hussein obama is the ONLY leader of ANY country who disparages the very country he was elected to represent. He has disrespected the Supreme Court and private citizens. He has also called the people he is supposed to serve, the enemy, another ugly first.
So you disagree with Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Harry Reid, and Barrack Obama, yet all Democrats are evil in some way?
I bet you would like people to forget the type of people the prez and the Dems are but it's not going to happen.
honestly, I would like all of them, including the repubs, to all grow up and take care of what is best for our country instead of all the fighting
I am so sick of politicians!
NO! I like to see the distinction of what each party responds to, like clapping when hussein obama disrespected the Supreme Court Justices.
You mean you're not able to predict it ahead of time? Give me a break. It's like watching 535 Pavlovian dogs.
It's pretty clear from the results of our poll that Republican supporters prefer division while Democrats and independents would like to at least attempt to get along with others once in a while.
Some members of Congress are proposing that Democrats and Republicans sit mixed together during the State Of The Union as a symbol of unity. I think this is a great idea. I don't expect it to truly change the direction of political discourse, but I do think it would be a positive thing to do. I never really understood the purpose of sitting divided anyway.

After some thought my answer is NO. The reason is it would be fake, if they wanted to sit together they would do so without prompting. Believe me as a whole they do Not want to sit down together. Have the Repubs or Dems ever done so in the past, not that I recall, no reason to start now. And as the Repubs love to proclaim, they are the Party of No, so let it be. Until we have a Party that actually represents the People I would prefer that the other two Parties stay away from each other as much as possible and maybe keep the rhetoric to a dull roar. Maybe seperate states would work better and they can get together in Washingtoon whenever they are ready to stick it to us once again.

Sure. And maybe they can walk in two by two and holding hands. And at the end of the speech Obama can lead them in a rendition of Kum-ba-ya. Give me a break!

Right. Dems love bipartisanship when they are in the minority. When they're in the majority--not so much.
By the way, this Democrat-inspired idea is not about unity but about optics. When the members are all seated together rather than by parties it will be easier to create the illusion that all are in agreement with the specifics of Obama's speech.
