It is certainly your right to look at things that way. And all the items you cited were valid examples of behaviors that could be criticized (though personally, I admire Cheney for telling Leahy to eF himself -- at least Cheney has the balls to look a guy in the eye when he says something).

On the other hand, throwing up one's hands and saying "a pox on both their houses" increases the chances that you will end up getting screwed. Whatever your politics, I think the best way to go is support the folks who most closely align with your views. In my case, it's the people who I think will leave me alone the most. . .who will rifle through my wallet and not take all the large bills. . .who will not try to stop me from driving the vehicle I want to drive, etc.

Before you throw up your hands too far, just remember that allowing politicians to have their own way got us toilets that don't flush.

Now. . back to H2s and lurking. . .
