Do you similarly contend that because when the 49ers play the Steelers, since both sides are similarly playing football, neither side is better or worse at it?

I don't necessarily disagree with you in the idea that the qualitative sins aren't that different. But find it odd to say that sins both sides sins there's no would be no qualitative difference (or perhaps any would simply be irrelevant).

As far as obstructionism goes, I'd say that the two sides have been in a 30 year arms race and thus, almost by definition, how ever is currently on the obstructionist side will be the worst obstructionists in living memory. Though I do like the tactic of simultaneously touting one's obstructions and then using the failure of the other side to do what they attempted as a reason to vote for you.
