Anyone sick of the party system.

@Silverchild79,

My point exactly. Where's the representation, from a guy who does not even come from the area he represents. A guy with roots, working in a local company or from that area will always be looking out for his own people, health & industry. So maybe politicians should be the same.
I would always vote for a good local 'honest Joe' whatever his politics,then some career minded politico any time!

Well, how about Hillary representing New York, while hailing from Arkansas?

Yeah, absolutely, she's the queen of the career, self promoting politico of all time. Does anyone really think she cares about Joe Average New Yorker!
Only his/her vote, I fear. Hey not only that, but, ex spice Victoria Becham going stateside, no politician, but self promoting, watch that space.

Representing everyone's ideals equally leads to anarchy. Let the marketplace of ideas operate and weed out those that don't work.

Large groups have similar enough ideals for that not to happen but the ideals of America are diverse enough to have many more large parties than we have now.

The problem with the political system is thast it is devolving into pluralism and the system has not adapted...maybe three or four parties would allow some semblance of a choice in elections...I don't believe having a local guy in office means that much anymore and maybe professional stateman and women are not such a bad idea, because they can be held accountable by voters if they are in danger of losing their chosen profession

Yeah, professionals to run the big departments, like ecominists / bankers for the treasury. And the nation could vote on which guy they think best fills the role. But on a local level we should have local people, to speak on our behalf. So maybe two houses would be required, with a third house of people from the whole spectrum to be the common sense in it all!

Bush needs to be tougher, meaner and more visible. He needs to kick butt right up to the time he leaves office.

Two-party politics are getting sickening. Bill O'Reilly, for example, is now supporting the new immigration amnesty bill simply for the sake of saving the GOP (Republican Party). So, it's to hell with American society and culture, just as long as the Republicans are saved. Crap. The nation comes first.:thumbdown:
