Don't both political parties suck?

The worst President ever (according to some) is 3x times more popular than Congress?

Democrats talk loud, yet seem to do nothing. For years Democrats have complained about Iraq, yet they've accomplished little, even after they took control of Congress.

Republicans. Well, I don't even know what Republicans stand for any more. Is it spend as much money as possible?

Is it the parties? Is it the politicians? Is it the system? Is it Democracy?

It seems every political speech, every political excuse always starts with, 'Well, the other party...." Yet, both parties don't seem to have any problem with earmarks and spending American taxpayer dollars while they accomplish nothing significant.

Why does it seem as if the entire American political system sucks? Am I just jaded?
