Is Mark Udall Really The Next Mr. Rogers?

This is another transparent attempt to confuse people.

Traditionally, Democrats and Republicans sit on opposite sides of the House Chamber for the speech, but this past week, Colorado's Sen. Mark Udall suggested the parties integrate the seating.

It's not a rule that parties have separate seating arrangements, Udall tells Weekend Edition's Liane Hansen, it's just a custom.

"It's a custom that's in some ways understandable," he says. But given the tragedy in Tucson and the elevated rhetoric of the last couple years, Udall thinks it's time for lawmakers to come together — at least symbolically.

First of all, no Republican should sit next to a Democrat based on the terms stated. Doing so would lend credence to the false allegations about political rhetoric being the cause of the Tucson shooting. The Tucson shooting had nothing to do with political rhetoric.

Aside from Democrats trying to make something out of nothing; none of this makes any sense at all. Unless you consider this; Obama is going to have to talk about health care during his State of The Union Address. Why, you might ask? The White House has said that the speech is going to focus on jobs and the economy right? Well Obama's entire pitch for health care reform was based on health care bankrupting the country. health care is going to be mentioned in the speech. The democrats don't want to go on record (in any way) when it comes to health care. We know that no democrats ran in support of health care during the most recent November elections.

Democrats want the seating to be staggered so that people tuning in to the speech won't be able to tell who is standing and who is sitting, Democrat or Republican. The obvious idea is to skew any response related to health care so that it appears that more people are in favor of it than really are. It will also blur the line so that most people won't know which side is for or against any particular subject.

If you ask me; this seating idea is so easy to see through that no Republican should fall for it.
