I have a wild and crazy idea.

George W. Bush's delivery of the State of the Union address will take place on Tuesday, January 31, a little more than a week from now. It is my strong belief that every single Democrat present in the House chamber for the speech should, at a predetermined moment, stand up and walk out. No yelling. No heated words. Every Democrat should simply stand silently and leave.

Crazy, I know. Crazy, and possibly the best idea ever put before a body of Democrats since the New Deal.

Understand this, congressional Democrats, and understand it well: you are not dealing merely with a body of political opponents in the GOP. You are dealing with a group of people that want you exterminated politically. The days of walking the halls of the Rayburn Building, sharing a bourbon with a colleague from the other side of the aisle, and hammering out a compromise are as dead as Julius Caesar. Collegiality is out. Mutual respect is out. They want you gone for good. Erased. Destroyed.

Surprisingly, I'm in agreement with this proposal from TruthOut . It is one of the best ideas I've heard this year from our liberal democrat friends. At  the very least it is an idea, not a very good one, yet what have the democrats done for us lately?  I hope this walkout occurs during the State of the Union Address, as it will  be a dramatic reminder for the American Public as to why they are the party that is out of power. 

With ideas like this, I predict very good outcomes for the Republican candidates during the fall election cycle.
