I think a lot has to do with the two party system and how much it has broken apart the general public. Instead of being against all politicians and questioning them, people now have a "team". They'll bitch about the other party non-stop, but turn their heads toward anything their own party does.

Part of me thinks its stupidity, part of me thinks its just part of our social makeup that wants us to be a part of a group (a cause). I'm not really sure. I'm happy to be independent and believe just about every politician is a crook who couldn't cut it in the private sector.
