Colorado's Mark Udall Wants Democrats, GOP to Sit Together at State of the Union

And, where should the TEA Party sit??

I think the should sit in sections according to the states they represent.

I see nothing wrong with them sitting together they are still human beings and citizens. Politics is not a rule of life or a religious belief it is nothing more than an opinion to a topic. sure they argue and express their views on legislation but that is what they are paid for. Once the 5pm whistle blows they all go to dinner together even sometimes go play a round of golf. All the finger pointing and name calling is nothing more then a politician trying to control your votes. Look a lawyers they enter a courtroom and fight over a case, but once they leave the courtroom they are talking about going to dinner or golf tomorrow. It is called the separation of business and pleasure. Do you take your personal life to work? Do you bring your work home? How many people register republican or democrat because that is the political makeup of where they live. Politics is not a way of life just an opinion.

Hi! The modern Republicans and the Democrats have acted like the North and the South acted in the Civil War of 1865. They don't get along and they want to fight and be seperated! Don't you think it's time to end this fight? They should do what's best for our Country and not what's best for their party. All of the money wasted on their internal problems could be used to help us Americans! I think the Republicans and the Democrats should shake hands and call it a truce for the sake of our Country, don't you? God Bless America!

I am amazed that this is still a free country. Too many people have drawn the line in the sand and will never cross over. What you people seem to not understand is that most US voters don't believe all of what politicians from either party say. I am a Democrat who has never voted a straight ticket. I think for myself and don't rely on others to make up my mind.

They should sit together. The reason: “There is no distinctly native American criminal class save Congress.” --Mark Twain

Don't care much for Udall but think he has an interesting idea here. We need to do a lot of things differently, what we're doing presently is not keeping us from a growing division in the country.

Unfortunately I believe it is a futile attempt at some type of civility. Republicans have already said many times their main goal is the destruction of Obama and thedemocrats. We manage to come together for a few moments after a disaster but that has proven fleeting, Clinto and Okla city, Bush and 9/11 , Reagan and his asassination, Bush and kuwai t, teh lis t goes on.Perhaps Sarah Palin is right , Why even bother.

I have one problem with this article. Judge Alito did not respond to Obama's criticizm of the Supreme Court decision. Obama said that the ruling would allow foreign influence in our elections. To which Judge Alito shook his head from side to side and muttered the words: "not true" It was not the criticizm but the intent to mislead that the Judge responded to.

I think that's a great idea. They are not there to choose sides, they are there because we elected them to do a job. If you can't get along with members of the other parties then they don't need to be there.
