Is any opposing viewpoint automatically "obstructionist"?

THat is really, really sad.

FWIW, I am, generally, in favor of free trade and also in favor of recognizing that each coin has two sides.

Not because its an opposing viewpoint. It just seems that on every major issue since the election, the Democrats just reflexively oppose anything the Bush administration offers, including (thus far) the progressive compromise Bush offered on Social Security. In my opinion, free trade is a no-brainer, is something that the Democrats have generally had a good record on, and now all the sudden they oppose it. Hence my obstructionism reference. But hey, feel free to keep reading shallow logic into my statements.
