The Democrats boycotting the State of the Union.

The SOTU is tradionally any Presidents venue for outlining his or her agenda.

Is is even feasible for ALl Democratic Senators and Representatives to be in the chamber the night of the SOTU? Just being there seems to be some sort of endorsement or willingness to listen.

It may be a stupid idea, but why the fuck do they have to be there and pretend to give him their attention?

To hell with unity, we can't afford it right now.

2. I'd like to see the Democrats all walk out,

when they introduce the fraud at the SOTU.

3. That would be political suicide

If you want to drive the center even more to the Republican's, you'd get the entire Democratic caucus to boycott the SOTU.

I pray for the day when we can stop kowtowing to Centrists. Hear me God!

8. I don't give a rat's ass about

Joe Sixpack. However, unless and until we restore integrity to the voting prcess, then yes, I agree with you. We will continue to lose elections.

6. say they all skip the speech and spend the evening volunteering...

... and binding up the wounds of chimpy's many economic victims?

After all, that would be a far more productive use of time.
