like this:

Voter A: The Republican party is corrupt.
Voter B: Well, the Democratic party is corrupt, too!
Voter A: Yes, that's true. BOTH parties are corrupt!
Voter B: Government is itself corrupt because there is corruption on BOTH sides!
Voter A: Yeah, you're right. I hate government. There's no use in me voting because they're all the same.

Voter B (under his breath): Yay! I convinced another one not to vote. That's one more vote for my Republican party!

-----

Voter C: Obama has been an abysmal failure, don't you think?
Voter D: Yes, he's worse than Bush! Awful!
Voter C: I think I'll sit this one out.
Voter D: No, just vote Republican. Democrats have been in control for 4 years and they've done nothing.
Voter C: But, weren't Republicans in for much longer?
Voter D: Yeah, but Obama promised change and he didn't bring it, so it's Republicans' turn.
Voter C: Yeah, oh yeah you're right! He had three years to do something and he's done nothing.
