I'm surprised that you don't take a step back more often to criticize your own party. If more people were willing to criticize the direction of the GOP I've criticized the GOP a number of times, here and elsewhere; mostly for going along with (or under Bush II being a force behind) large spending increases.

I'm surprised that you don't take a step back more often to criticize your own party. If more people were willing to criticize the direction of the democrat party, then maybe they wouldn't have lost almost every election this year. Uniform thinking and low tolerance for dissent is not a good recipe for maintaining power in a democracy. Exactly. The main point seems to be that people have to go outside of the liberal media to here that criticism. Because they look outside liberal media now for real news they will continue to in the future. Their power is eroding from self inflicted wounds.
