I agree,

It works both ways, there are plenty of sellouts on both sides, be it the liberal guise of foreign relations and human rights or the conservative platform of ethics and morality. They are both selling out the US for monetary gains, they merely offer up what reasoning makes you feel better about it.

Politicians are doing the exact thing the American voter needs to do, play the parties against themselves to achieve what the is best for the common citizen, and stop with the assumption that one party is going to lead them to the promise land.

Does anyone else find it a bit strange that when the patience of the American people is hitting its limit in regards to the current economic climate, they offer up some sort of distraction?

Hey look over there, gay marriage!

Oh look over here, gays in the military!

While people busy themselves with the red / blue fight, the campaign promises continue to lapse, the economy continues to fall.

Keeping people desperate and distracted by political scrimmages is the best way for government to retain control over the masses instead of vise versa.
