Adam Posted June 11, 2008 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The real shame is that McCain and Obama are the best we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, the parties have been resplendent in the talent they've fielded in the last few decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't that happen a couple of times way back when America was brand new? Different system then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted June 11, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted June 11, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pBills Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I wouldn't say that that ticket would fix the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
