I think Abbott has really ratcheted up the 'oppose everything', has even said as much with his 'the opposition's role is to oppose' statements. <br /><br />But I would point out the particular recent event of Abbott getting alot of criticism for his Virginity answers, which when read in context are actually pretty tame, certainly less extreme than I would have expected. <br /><br />Out of this, I would establish that yes - right now, the Right are absolutely worse in blind opposition than the Left. But there's enough Abbott bashing happening that Miranda Devine can write an article on it every couple of days...DJ Mathshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310515495839836995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-7133980162801881102010-02-05T00:25:11.265+11:002010-02-05T00:25:11.265+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.DJ Mathshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310515495839836995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-24635734729857509092010-02-04T22:11:51.522+11:002010-02-04T22:11:51.522+11:00We'll see Anthony; it's early days yet - a...We'll see Anthony; it's early days yet - and Clinton suffered bad mid-term elections and still got reelected... <br /><br />And my point is not that it isn't good politics, it's that it is not good for the country - especially in America where a health care Bill that most other countries would class as pitiful can't even get over the line. <br /><br />A strong opposition should not mean always opposing everything and saying the Govt is the worst ever.Greg Jerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956402439870441083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-25864663772337934382010-02-04T21:36:01.479+11:002010-02-04T21:36:01.479+11:00I dunno.
