BTW, I don't have any use for either of the current duopoly of
political parties- they are both fulla ****. IMHO, we need to ban
political parties from Congress, and just elect people, and pass out
the committees and power positions (in theory, at least) to the
person, not the party. Of course, that would require the voters and
the politicians to think, rather than just parrot slogans, so it
will never happen.

Absolutely wrong.

Agreed. Political parties simplify the political process. As G. Northcott
Parkinson observed: "When a member of your party finishes speaking, you need
only shout 'Hear! Hear!' When the opposition speaks, you cry 'Shame! Shame!'
What could be easier?"
