what's more frustrating (politically)?

a.) when supposed supporters do big stuff you find offensive and should know better;

OR

b.) when opponents do bigger stuff you find offensive

GOP'ers have a version of that with "fiscal conservatism": Obama is a nut, but Bush was bad-- and he should have known better.

Now, Dems have one. You knew the GOP wouldn't support a massive increase in govt's role in health care. But you should be able to count on the Dems to "take care of" health care. But they haven't (and probably won't).

Of course, it's important to note that few in the GOP are fiscal conservatives-- and few Dems are actually interested in social justice and the working poor. (For example, most Dems want to increase payroll taxes instead of ending a regressive, horribly burdensome tax on the working poor.) But both groups talk a mean game!

Don't trust in politicians. Your idolatry will die a slow, painful death-- or degenerate into blindness.
