Shouldn't we be voting for people who properly address issues and not refer to a party?

We should but NEVER have... You're talking about a new political party here. When you complain about 'properly addressing the issues' isn't it your way of creating a new political thought process. and isn't a new PTP a new party?
Well..., you're welcome to do such a thing! Maybe you'll be onto something and you can get 20 or 200 or 2000 or so people to follow your line of thought. Huh? What do you think?
Do you think voters are smart?
Voters ARE sheep! (Dipped in the 'sheep dip' of political strategists propoganda!)
Here's my political fantasy: The best strategm is to 'tow-the-line', win the election, and THEN spring the fact on everyone that you are an INDEPENDENT, a thinker indeed in step with the voters..., realizing there is a clear delineation of Americans who believe this or believes that and as Commander-in-chief you have to take all considerations into concern before deciding. Downside: You'd be alienated by your own party and labeled as 'untrustworthy' by the other.
A Soloman type person if there ever was one that existed.
(Fat chance of that EVER happening... )

In a perfect world yes. But politics is very split by party. And the agenda is typically controlled by the ruling parting in the house or senate. So it becomes very important in general as to which party is in control. In other words have the majority number in either the house or senate.

I agree, too many people vote blindly for one party or the other. I believe that there should be a non-partisan system in which the primary determines the top two candidates that will compete in the general election.

I agree. You can't vote for all republicans and democrats in the country. Worry about the people running in your own state.

Very few are addressing the real problems or the truth, mostly everything but! You have to start with a legitimate/verifiable process first, that we have never had!

Theoretically, yes.
But it's easier to push the hot buttons of the intellectually lazy.

because the sheep in this country want to be on the winning team even if they don't believe in that team's value system. I remember hearing" I'm voting for Bush, he's going to win anyway, why throw my vote away?"

Yes, most are so caught up in the drama it seems they're more interested in the "who can we blame for everything" game rather than whats important
