Adam Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I wish we could have an Obama/McCain or McCain/Obama ticket. The melding of their ideas could fix the economy and the war, while individually, they can't fix either. Damn political parties!
IDBillzFan Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 The real shame is that McCain and Obama are the best we can do.

Nanker Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, the parties have been resplendent in the talent they've fielded in the last few decades.

Didn't that happen a couple of times way back when America was brand new? Different system then.
SilverNRed Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I wish we could have an Obama/McCain or McCain/Obama ticket. The melding of their ideas could fix the economy and the war, while individually, they can't fix either. Damn political parties! 1. Neither one of them has good ideas about the economy, so I don't see how "melding" their ideas would help. 2. McCain and Obama were complete different when it came to the Surge. It turned out McCain was right and Obama was wrong. Again, how does "melding" help?
SilverNRed Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Didn't that happen a couple of times way back when America was brand new? Different system then. Not really. The supposed end of political parties lasted for Monroe's two terms before the Republicans split into the "National Republicans" and the "Democratic Republicans" (later just Democrats). The "no political parties" thing was a goal of Monroe's and John Quincy Adams' but it never really got off the ground.
