No, you're right, and I already admitted that it was an emotional reaction on my part. It's the extremity of party separations that frustrates me though, and both sides are guilty. Why is it that when Republicans talk about cutting spending they only go after programs supported by Democrats and vice versa? There's no give and take.
EDIT: Disregard. Sorry. This isn't the place for political discussions.
