Is this what our Socialist nation has come to?

I'm not too big on politics, but I am pretty big on irony. I wonder if all politicians just play on people's naivety, but you do have to laugh at how the "Democrats" handed it to the "Republicans". First the "Democrats" realized that they would never get their healthcare plan passed so what did they do, steal John McCain's "Republican" plan, giving tax breaks to people who purchase healthcare insurance. The "Democrats" took his healthcare plan added some stuff to it and called it their own so it passes. It's a huge "Democratic" moral victory and a huge win for Obama. Now the "Republicans" are running around like rabid rabbits trying to rebel against the passage of the "Republican" Presidential nominee's Healthcare bill. Doesn't anyone get the feeling that everyone is being played by our political system, the "Democrats" and the "Republicans", and isn't it hard to tell which is which? Take Arlen Specter for example, is he a "Democrat" or a "Republican"?
