I mean, yes, you're right. Certainly they are better than the alternative. But I do feel they are more conservative than they should be. This may be a discussion of ends and means. I know they mean well, but if they can't end the war, if they can't close Guantanamo, if they can't repeal the Patriot Act, and if they force one Senator to stand up against telecom amnesty, then they are aiding and abetting conservative ends.
