That's an unrealistic request. Party politics is all about special interests. Did you read that article that Spence posted by "unbiased" real honest-to-gosh political scientists who felt it was their civic duty to point out to voters the real true statistics that showed which party benefited them most so they could vote accordingly?
and were willing to vote on bills that would better the country and not just their own interests. I'd even vote for them. But I don't see it happening soon.

Isn't your notion of what "would better the country" influenced by the issues and interests which you personally believe would be beneficial? Isn't it that which interests you, "your own interests," which decides for you what is good or not?
Wouldn't it be better for the country if, instead of creating bills that favor this or that group, they stuck to legislation which did not infringe on unalienable rights? And wouldn't it be better if government would quit creating rights which they dole out and control? And better if it would be less invasive in our lives and leave more control over ourselves to us?
