Default WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION

this is a question i'm directing to people who are against war in Iraq and against Bush. please be specific, direct and brief. and keep theories separate from direct answers.
for example:

"to have fair government you need to elect commusists"
or
"to have fair government you need to elect someone like Bush again"
or
"to have fair government you need to have money not be able to play any role in political campaigns"

make the short part in bold, then build around it, so we all can understand.

also, if your answer is something like "we need to elect honest people" then add how. explain in detail how is this possible or admit that you don't know the answer yet and willing to listen to suggestions.

Default broad question...

We need to get rid of partisan politics.

That's right, do away with political parties all together. Politics today aren't about the issues, it's about the power each party represents to shove their way of life into law. Politicians, civilians etc. need to stop thinking along party lines and directly address the issue without worrying about how they're supposed to vote and their allegiances. It's a rare occurence when a politician will vote against party lines on major issues regardless of how they really feel about the subject.

Take this "intelligent design" idea that the President is proposing. Despite my feelings towards Dubya, I agree that alternate teachings should be offered as long as they don't negate or take away from each other. Why can't you teach intelligent design and evolution in the same class room? Kids are getting smarter with each generation, I'm sure they can decide for themselves what they want to believe.

Another example is this: I'm for gay rights but against abortion. Can you tell which party I belong to? Of course not because either issue would label me a traitor by my party members.

Politics today are like a football game, with each team trying to lobby the refereee (civilian voters) for better calls and favoritism. And it shouldn't be that way. It should be about the issues, not allegiances are party lines.
