Edit Reason: spelling
We ARE talking politics. We are just not talking "political theater."
This is the difference. We are observing the "behavior" that shows not patriotism, but partisanship. An audit trail of personalities doesn't serve any end beyond showing that ANY partisanship diminishes the value of public service... changing its nature, rendering it to serve something, anything, NOT in accordance with the original intent of their service.
I know and can well understand needing a precise target when attacking problems like this. But there is no precise target... it keeps resolving down to base values like "honor," and "service." Something which NO successful political candidate somehow can ever live up to... apparently. The people of our government appear to be one of interspersed 'cliques' and 'friendships.' The money opportunities make it a moat of power peppered with lies and deceit. It's the occupants of "offices"... the most significant of them are political appointees, our first clue as to how this is happening... they why of it be damned.
