Can both demos and repubs agree?

No, for two reasons:\n\n1. The Dems are so inept that most races won't be close enough to consider a recount.  The only ones they're going to win are the ones in which they're already way out in front.\n\n2.  For most of the country, the good old paper trail, punch card systems have been replaced by electronic systems with no logging, no paper trail, no way to recount.  Thank the Repugs for this.\n\nSo, forget about recounts. Ain't gonna happen.

Absolutely. I have voted Republican, Democrat, Green, and Libertarian in my life. It should be about issues, not party. Locking yourself into one party limits your freedom of speech and lessens the value of your vote.\n\nNoboby's views are exactly the same. We are all individuals.

Not as long as Republicans have the majority in the house and senate.... good ole boys protect each other no matter if they are wrong.

Repugnicans think it's not, Democrats think it is.  I think it is.

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.

Two sides to the same coin.

When I vote, I vote for party platform, I know that I do not like for the repuglicans to give to the rich and take from the poor to pay for unjust wars and such. Supply side economics has never worked even in wartime. I don't like the repuglicans intrusion into ever ones life, and I definitely do not like the christian right passing moral judgment on what I do. That is why my vote won't be a crossover vote. I do hope that the repuglicans on the fence will see all the harm that Bush has done to the country and cross over and vote democrats into office so that there are some checks and balances put back in the government.

The belief that things can only be one way: Our way is hardly unique to Republicans, it's a staple of modern American Political discourse in all parties.  Generally the more a party claims to be tolerant of other ideas, the less tolerant it actually is.  The concept of Compromise is completely alien to Congress these days.

Sorry, the Repub's already have them.

You can't they are one, in the same. Wait maybe the lumps of slime serve a purpose and all repuglicans do is obstruct progress, and serve no purpose.

I would likely support it. We need a more centralist party. One without the extreme views of both R's an D's. One that looks out for the interests of the middle class.

No such possibility for now. At present all parties with Congress and BJP as their common enemies are talking abt third alliance rather than front. But only if they form the third front with common agenda, policies, etc as Mr. Prakash Karat, General Secretary of CPI(M) has said, will the third front which may be formed can dream of forming a govt. at the centre.

Let's do. Funny,it seems the other way 'round to me.Our motives regarding war,abortion, prayer, smaller government,etc. -are villified,seems to me: in the media, particularly, but also 1 on 1 talks. But I'm a conservative,and a reg. Joe. The Rep. party is not,nor the Dems, either,of by and for the people any longer.It's the same machine, different masks.Live long,Peace.\n P.S.And never let them make you be politically correct, or one day demagog will mean democrat.

Don't know, don't care. I vote for the best person, who most closely agrees with me and my views. If they happen to be a gay republican so be it. Yes, I vote manly for Repubs they are closer to my views then the Dems. I have and would vote for a Dems. If they could just tell me what they stand for instead of just tell me to vote against someone

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".
