Folks seem to align themselves with polical parties, kind of like sports teams. If you are a yankees fan, you are a yankees fan (with few exceptions), no matter who is on the team, no matter who coaches, usually no matter what. Kind of like many Republicans are behind Bush even though he (and those that support him) spend money like it does not matter and has started a war resulting in 100,000's of deaths (this is not pro-life), on admitedly false information. Democrats are currently aligning themselves behind a Clinton because she has the best chance of winning for their team.
Let's outlaw parties and people grouping together in politics before they are elected. This way folks will be forced to look at the actual issues rather than, who has the best chance of winning. I fear 100 years from now folks are still going to be thinking Dem/Rep as the two options when they are basically the same. We need new viewpoints and we need to focus on more than War, Sex Scandals and Health Care.
