67. You're right in some ways, but watch cable news
Any attempt to define the terms is met by an endless onslaught of spin that turns even the most reasonable statements that go against pundit scripts (i.e. 'the terror alert *may* be politically motivated') into a liability for whoever states them.

I agree that people attributing near superhuman abilities to the GOP to explain every Kerry decision as a brilliant tactical move are a bit silly, but there is a point to be made about how little ability we have when it comes to defining our message for ourselves. Others will do it and never give us the chance.
