That's party politics. I hate it whichever way it goes. I used that example because it was the one I remembered first and even though I'm used to different parties going out of their way to point out flaws and try to make things difficuilt to score points, I've never heard of one deciding to outright disagree on everything just 'cos.
After I was talking about liberals yesterday, one of my extremly liberal(he used to claim socialism but now just liberal or progressive) friends called to tell me of his recent purchase.
