I think this would eliminate alot of the friction that is created by the sheeple that seem to just vote for one party even when they are uninformed or even misinformed. Want fairness eliminate party designation and judge people on what they say or where they stand on issues in general.

I wish it were possible. And it's for exactly these reasons that I loathe the two-party system. There is far too much "our team against their team" mentality.

I love watching the Parliament Meetings that are occasionally on CSPAN. Those Brits tear right into each other. However, everyone holds everyone else thoroughly responsible for their action or inaction.

Judging by the lack of response I see most people don't want to give up there team. I guess it's easier to just be required to recognize the letter after the name instead of have any idea what the person is all about.

I would love to see everyone held responsible and work together as a whole instead of just being an 'a' hole towards any ideas from the opposite party.
