...in that the Democrats could finally air their grievances and announce that they're unwilling to be silent as the Bushies destroy world peace and our country's infrastructure for the benefit of wealthy Bush* supporters.

I don't understand what you mean when you say there are too few Democrats to form an opposition party. Republicans have a slight majority in both houses and there are HUNDREDS of Democrats that could form an active opposition if they so desired.

Bush* was able to frame his Iraq invasion as having bipartisan support. Same goes for the Patriot Act and the trickle-down tax cuts for the wealthy. Democrats must go on the record as opposing these awful policies or they'll have to accept the blame along with Bush* & Cheney.
