HOW DO WE DEFINE OURSELVES?

In our politcal system we have labels that define us. Republicans, Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives. I wonder if we could ever have a politcal party that was exclusively devoted to solving problems.
We often hear the phrase "conditions on the ground", referring to the War in Iraq. We will pull troops out when "conditions on the ground" permit. What about "conditions on the ground" right here at home. Our house needs repair badly and nobody is fixing it.
We can only make progress if our elected officials are responsive to the needs of the people. This should be the number 1 priority, instead of a strict adherence to party ideology.
How about a new 3rd party? The Independent Progessive Populist Party
