Will the two parties finally stop throwing metaphorical fecal matter at one another and start working together

Probably not, because the two parties are of opposite beliefs as to how the country should be run.  Things will settle down a little, and the barbs will be more subtle.  Remember, the Presidential election is next, and it will start up about a year before the election.

Why not??  If they can SPLIT, then there's no reason you can't have two organize themselves into one.\nOur current major parties were once all part of the same party called the "Democratic-Republicans".

I don't know what planet you and your buddies just dropped in from but all I've seen on the news lately is Democrats screaming at each other. Ever since the midterms, the dopey Demmies have been fighting like alleycats.

They will find SOME excuse for bad Democratic behavior.  I could not even stomach the liberals during the Clinton years.  NO ONE said boo to ANY of his actions.  Perverts stick together, and I guess they are no better...

We need to finish what we started, not just show up for the party and leave the cleanup for someone else.  I doubt there will be a full military pullout for a long time.  Personal opinion aside, if the US is truly a government of the people; then, we will be there as long as the majority of Americans believe we should be.  A silent voice is an uncounted voice.

It's all banal rhetoric. Democrats will enjoy their first 100-day 'honeymoon' with the American public, then things will settle into just another state of complicity. Nothing will get done. Nothing will change. Republicans and Democrats will fight like little ten-year-old kids until they start doing their real work: raising money for their re-election.                 -RKO-

We all know that will never happen, sadly, both parties forgot the term compromise and talking things out, they just like to complain whine and not figure a way to fix the issues, look at the campaign ads as proof to that....

No, it will be the same stuff probably. Except now we have historically more members of the government that don't have back bones, but when push comes to shove, politicians are paid propagandist liars, some are better at it than others of coarse. Look at all of the things that have been said about Bush thus far, whether you like the man or not.  Do you think that even if he would have made the exact opposite decisions he have been supported any more so, of coarse not. Politics is all about getting paid big bucks for doing very little and of coarse poop flinging and deceit plays a large role.

I think we will be sad, broken, and weak. There will be so much animosity built up between dems, and reps, gays, straight, black white, it is all going to split off into their own little groups. I don't know how it will ever be united again. It's gone so far down.

It does take two to tango. But I am going to be very pissed at Democrats (I am one) if they pull this stunt. They have talked one way for years, and now appear poised to do the opposite? -- Or is it just another 1) GOP fear and smear job against Democrats, prompted by their recent congressional upset or 2) another historic repeat of a scenario we know so well: GOP messes things up, paints the country into a corner, then leaves the Democrats to clean up their mess?\n\nI need more information.

Seems to me that you pretty much hit the nail on the head.  Both parties have their scandals, their morons, and their self-righteous flag-toting extremists.  It is easy to complain when you aren't held accountable for the decision, so Bush-bashing is becoming more popular than ever.  The Democrats, being liberals in most regards, also have more division within their party.  Having said that, if it was up to some of the Republicans today, we'd still have blacks as slaves and women working only for the family.  What I'm saying is, both sides have their great minds and their fools, but historically the Democratic party has been more influencial and active in promoting equality.

I think anyone that appreciates the potential of this country would gladly join in.  What you want to do is what politicians of every level should already be doing.  Instead of republicans being thick headed and thinking that they can change the world into one big happy family, and democrats criticizing everything but never having an alternative option or independent thought that isn't brought on by what the latest poll says they should do, they should be trying to solve the problems together.  No more fighting, time to get to work.  I think lots of people would want in on it.  Especially if it wasn't a forum for one side or another to bash the other, rather a way for people to come together with ideas and remedies to our problems.

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.

What you have to understand is that the bath separatists party is looking to break away from main  personal hygiene state and form a separate lying in your own filth empire. The shower party is looking into taking over land owned I believe by the bathroom mat enclave in the lino Province it has already made several incurison necessitating an intervention by the washing powder elite forces in conjunction with the indesit committee. In order to answer this question we first need to seek resolution of all areas of conflict and try to maintain the status quo by having a wash instead!

I don't think so.  Even if in theory they both agreed with this person's idea's and such I don't think Republicans and Democrats would admit to agreeing on the same person.  They are both too childish.  (and yes I am a republican)

Great questions! The two strongest political organizations in the world spend all of our tax dollars fighting each other! It will quit when we as a people finally say "enough is enough" and refuse to vote until we get someone worth voting for.\n\n"Neither party represents me, not the jackass or the elephant" Chuck D.

Yes, there's an honorable way, of course. People need t start having respect again.
