Four different members of Congress will give a response to the State of the Union. The traditional GOP response, a Spanish response, a Tea Party response, and if all that wasn't enough, the Rand Paul response. I find all of this amusing and indicative of how much of a cluster the GOP is dealing with.

Liberals are always preaching "diversity", that is all this is. Is this really news?

Interesting the Spanish Response appears to be a translated version of the official GOP response. Not sure if that is going to win them that many points with just a "translation." Guess they don't want to rock the boat at this time either way.

The SOTU is "Barack's version" of the union. I bet the rest the Democratic party does not agree with what he will say , but are too scared to say so.

Ros-Lehtinen said it will be slightly different, with more focus on things like immigration.

This is not diversity, it is four different factions within the same party giving four different points of view of what their party supposedly stands for. Which means that within the party, they don't agree on their own agenda and the direction they want to take the country. They are divided among themselves, which is the OP's point.

So groupthink (like the Democrats have) is preferable?

I think it is wonderful that the GOP has such "diverse" opinions that they cannot agree on anything. All that "diversity" ought to make a really interesting general election, as there will be at least two factions who will not like the GOP presidential candidate. Another word for political "diversity" within a party is also called "infighting." It is not only the Democrats they cannot compromise with--it's each other. Divided they fall.
