the GOP should not attend the state of the union address

You are exactly right. By totally boycotting the SotU, the GOP would make the plain and simple statement that this administration and Congress does not consider the loyal opposition consisting of the GOP and 54% of Americans who oppose govt-controlled health-care of any value whatsoever.

Agreed.

Actually, the GOP should attend, and then walk out after Joe Wilson again shouts out “YOU LIE” when Obama lies in the first few minutes of the speech. The speech will be given to the press ahead of time, so researching the lie, and making it stick, would be crucial to making this lasting image stand.

It won't happen, but I can dream, right?

WRONG! The Dems would just fill their empty seats with more people to clap and cheer.

What the Republicans should do is attend and boo loudly whenever the Dems are cheering, shout "You lie," and sit with thumbs down during standing ovations. Let the media try to edit that out.

The GOP should attend the State of the Union Address and so should 15 Million+++ Americans.

Shut down DC. I’m there ! Are you?

"...the GOP should not attend the state of the union address."

Now THAT is an excellent idea. Of course, John McCain and Lindsey Graham would refuse.
