I guess no one believes their political side capable of mistakes?

At this time every 4 years it seems to me that it is particularly important to stand back and take a wider more objective view of what is going on around us and why! I started this thread to give members the opportunity to reflect and laugh at themselves, their beliefs and the gaffes of the people they respect so as to break our tendency to fixate on the "evils" of our opponents and maybe see the picture unfolding in front of our eyes in a different more objective light! With this in mind, would anyone else care to contribute?
