"I would say that the best thing that could happen to this country would be to get rid of the aisle and remove partisan politics from Congress altogether. Almost all of the lawmakers' time is used in dealing with party business instead of the nation's business."
It would be nice, but I think people will always group together based on ideologies. You are right about spending too much time on party business. I would disagree in saying the nation's business though. I would say constituents business, but that is quibbling. The first start, do away with straight ticket voting and listing party on the ballot. No more riding coat tails. Here in NC, we have an idiot governor. She's terrible. She's so bad that the majority of newspapers in the state endorsed the Republican candidate. That's not something you see everyday. She rode Obama's coat tails into office. Then no more voting by looking for a "D" or "R" beside the name. I follow a simple rule. If I don't know anything about the candidates, I don't vote in that race. I skip it and go to the next.
