Agree. I think that we've developed the sports mentality of politics in this country. You somehow drift into having a home team, you stick with that team no matter what, and the defense of the team usually consists of no more than "yeah, well youse guyz suck!" Applies equally to all both (all?) sides, and serves us all equally well.
It would be nice if more people would realize that the stakes are higher, and a bit more personally impacting.
