to the point
Instead, our party would make a compromise”we’ll raise the taxes, but only by so much, and only for so many years.
What if they still say "No, not gonna raise them?" I mean, don't both sides have to be willing to compromise?
As such”we are not going to make slanderous claims against opponents. We aim to present our ideas”and to let the best idea, or man, win. We want to make politics more about having good ideas than about having a better looking face.
So what are you gonna do when the other side(s) don't stop slinging and your standing there with mud all over your face and no votes?
We have to become a partner in world affairs...
...as long as we don't lose our position of power.
Not only that, but most politicians are considered lying, thieving, and uncaring when it comes to their constituents. While we are in the age of federal power, and while we must accept that on the federal level we can no longer argue for state advantages and privileges, we have to reduce the size of this behemoth and make it more accessible to the public.
Seems alright in theory, but during your introduction/transition, the government will still be filled with liars and I don't see them going anywhere so how do you get in?
The final general area of interest is the improvement of America.
America is pretty damn good the way it is. How are we going to become a partner to the world if we're going to shit on them by making ourselves even more better?
These are my initial thoughts after one read through, not a whole lot of thinking went into this, moslty just reaction.

Re: to the point
This does require a change in the political landscape. It relies on people being sick and tired of the crappy campaigns. It relies on people being willing to sit down and actually think. not just go for the best-looking guy, but the guy who has the best ideas. It also requires people (especially the gov't) to realize that compromise is necessary
emphasis added
Do you really think this is something the general public will do? I don't. WRT the gov't people realizing the necessity of comprimise, I don't think they are going to give anyhting up as greedy as they seem.
I don't think anyone is happy with the rate at which our government works.
I'm content, I don't really know how happy I am but I don't feel very unhappy.
we're already losing power--our relative power.
Yeah, I don't really know much about that.
As to improvement of america--that's our domestic area. mainly its education.
and healthcare...but that's just gonna piss off the terrorists et al even more, are we really going to become more partner-like or are we going to leave them behind?
And if they keep on throwing mud, and we don't throw back, who would you vote for?
It depends on how dirty you got. At the least, you should defend yourself.
Thanks for sharing though, it certainly is a good idea.
