Heh, but a party *is* partisan. That's what a party does. (Look up partisan in the dictionary.) A party where each individual makes up their own mind isn't a party. (Well, it could be a party, if you had a dj and chips and beer, and that could be fun and all, but it wouldn't be a political party.)
My ideal candidate would be socially liberal (gay marriage, limited drug legalization, right-to-organize for all workers, universal healthcare) and economically conservative (smaller government, smarter government, soft money bans, pork barrel funding changes, more sunshine into black DoD projects). I guess the party that represents my view best in the USA would be the Greens or the Libertarians.
