They aren't all the same, to me. It's easy for good people who've been elected to be lost in the system itself, which has been bastardized in every direction:

Supreme Court picked our leader. Maybe we should be blaming those five now?

White House: usurped powers, sign laws with an asterisk, torture, wars to please their handlers, domestic spying, etc.

Congress: earmarks to inflate the budget and to serve as a real, honest to goodness kickback, positive feedback loop (everybody tries to get more than their share or voted out).

This morning I read that McCain is a "Teddy Roosevelt man." It must be great to have helped vote to remove all the safeguards to usher in this mess and at the same time be the ideal man to clean it up. Reminds me of my brother, who borrows money an doesn't pay it back but needs a bigger loan but has a much better deal (promise) for me, should I agree. Snake oil...
