I'm so tired of political parties as well. Everything should be issue based instead of party vs. party. The stereotypes are getting pretty ridiculous. It's like if you're a christian you are assumed to be pro Iraq war, pro Patriot Act, etc. Likewise if you don't like Bush your probably an aborton loving enviornmentalist or something.

Your so right about no one ever conceding. Politics today is all about arguing, instead of debating and agreeing on the best solutions. For instance, I commend a Democrat or Republican when they do something that I feel was good. However, most people who belong to those parties will rarely admit when the otherside did something right, or admit when their party does something wrong.
