Rescue bill is best example yet of our failed party system

I know we still have a long way to go, but I'm sick of this debate already. Both parties have failed us for more than a decade by promoting high-risk loans for first time buyers and allowing a disgustingly large river of money from the mortgage companies, Freddie and Fannie into their campaign coffers. The money taken by the members of the banking committees is nothing short of obscene and BOTH of our presidential candidates took large amounts of money from these folks also. McCain can talk about the fact that Barak took much more than he did, but it can also be said that while McCain was calling those organizations into question, he was apparently still taking money from them. What's wrong with this picture???

Now we will all sit and watch the parties jockey and manuever, each blaming the other for the rest of us being screwed. They will put the executive's heads on sticks and deny their parachutes (which I agree with), but none of them will suggest that the members of the banking committees for the past 10 years should also lose their gracious pensions. No, congress will once again skate through by blaming everyone but themselves. And we the sheep will just take it.
