Agreed; they are no more than two sides of the same tarnished coin. I can't remember the last election in which I did not feel as though I was voting for the lesser of two evils. What a hell of a way to choose leaders. Pick the one that will do the least damage. Sometimes the damage done is so great I find myself wondering how bad the other guy would have been. Not how good, mind you; not what kind of great and inspired leadership he would have offered, but rather how bad he would have screwed it up compared to the current office holder.
