Isn't it the exact same thing that the GOP does? Namely, you can't try to correct any problems you see on your own side, but should only point at the other side. The more you do that, the more you ignore problems and ignored problems grow until you find yourself ignoring and excusing everything, just like the GOP is doing now.
If you want to be a truly great country, or a truly great party, you have to be willing to look at your own issues and not try to shame anyone who does.
