Well, if they were _genuine_ questions, then no, I
wouldn't have a problem with it.  If the attacks were
on something where they _actually believed_ that they
had been deceived, I would be entirely in favor of
what they are doing.  But - to pick an example - Kerry
voted in favor of approving the attack on Iraq months
before Bush even made the (true) statement about
Africa, which he is now claiming Bush used to trick
him into supporting the war, except he would have
supported it anyways, except maybe he wouldn't.  I'm
probably understating the incoherence of Kerry's
position.  But these _aren't_ honest criticisms.  This
is the Big Lie in action, aided and abetted by the New
York Times and the Big 3 networks.

Any time you legitimately feel that they are making
mistakes.

I'm afraid I can't tell what you are asking here.
