Yes, exactly... and that has implications during an election year. We aren't just sitting around someone's living room chatting about right-wing policy disagreements. This site comes up on google searches and politically uninvolved Americans will be stumbling onto the threads looking for information. When they see an entire thread of right-wingers ripping Bush to shreds, that can damage our common goals.
The problem, as I see it, is timing.
Elections are times of solidifying and also making promises that one may/may not keep.
Substantive policy changes are not likely, even when desired, because of the late date. Changes are not a good thing at this juncture because it is always used as ammo by the other side.
times for changes have passed and will emerge again after the election is over.
This is how I see it.

I used to think our common goals were the same.
I used to think it was obvious even to intellectuals that this election will require sacrifice for (dare I say?) the common good.
Wartime clarifies priorities.
But some of the bloated egos hissing and snarling on this thread can't see beyond their own fangs.
