Because that is entirely false equivocation. Government doesn't just exist to serve as a lightening rod for people's anger and elections aren't opportunities for expressing your most ardent desires. Politics should be the art of compromise not blood sport.
It's totally not false equivocation. The Democrats never held the budget hostage, shutting down the government and threatening a crisis just because they didn't like something W did. Nor did they ever state that they would absolutely refuse to hold hearings on a Supreme Court nominee, no matter who it is, just because W appointed them. Republicans are all about obstructionism if someone they don't like is in the White House.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
