He is right:

Sometimes I sympathize with the Dems. It must be so frustrating for them. Every time they get some issue that they are absolutely convinced is an unequivocal and total indictment of the Bush administration, it just fizzles. From "No WMDs" to "PlameGate" to the Downing Street Memos, every time they think they have a winner, not much happens.

Take "warrentless wiretaps." The Dems arouse themselves into (another) self-righteous fury. "These warrantless wiretaps were illegal .. illegal .. illegal. Bush will run roughshod over the Constition. Don't you see? They were illegal! This is an outrage! Bush must be stopped."

The problem is, only one third of the voters feel this way. Another third are conservatives. And the last third are voters in the middle, who might be persuaded on these matters. Unfortunately, every single time, Rove & BushCo manage to persuade a majority of the swing voters that their policy was correct (or that the issue was not as the Dems framed it).

And what does this say about America?

Perhaps one day in the near or distant future, us Democrats may be seen as the voice of sanity in an insane time.... On the other hand, Bush's policies, as much as we may despise them, may be vindicated as necessary for the times we live in. I am no sage, and I simply dont know all the answers.

I am not going to give up my fight, or my beliefs. Nor will I give up hope that even hard core conservatives will one day see what I see. Perhaps I am delusional, then again, perhaps I am a patriot. History will judge my philosophy, just as it will judge the Administrations actions...

But waiting for that judgement is a "painful excercise."
