One good thing for the Democrats came out of losing the 2004 election: now that they no longer have to avoid like the plague saying anything negative, they can actually
openly discuss the things they've been doing wrong. And I find it all amusing as hell--watching the party move from one statement of the obvious to another. That noise you hear is a chorus of Republican voters shouting, "We've been trying to tell you that this whole time!"

"It is one thing to say the war in Iraq was a mistake; that's a legitimate position held by many thoughtful people. It's another thing to say it's an expression of some grasping new American imperialism, some kind of plot to grab Middle East oil or, even more ludicrously, all just about putting more money into Halliburton."
