"A Plague on Both Their Houses"?

Karen sent me this link to a blog in which the author asks the "liberal left" for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Funny. Here was my response to Karen:

Very funny and (sadly) something I've been thinking about. It does seem as if there are irreconcilable differences. If John McCain had won the presidency, it's possible we would have seen this horrendous divide diminish somewhat. He is a gifted conciliator and peace-maker. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer and their ilk are more partisan than any politicians alive. They (not the Republicans) are the ones who have been stoking the partisan flames. Yet they have the gall to call Republicans obstructionists.

I pray (often) for some kind of reconciliation between the two parties. I pray (often) for God to expose the hypocrisy and the corruption of people in both parties. To clean house ("a plague on both their houses"?) and then let good people from both parties try to work together to clean up the mess, throw out the garbage, re-decorate, and start fresh.
