I'm no Con supporter. Was a Lib supporter at the Fed level, not Ontario. But it gets pretty lame when the best defense is they are not as bad as the Cons. 

The presumption that every criticism is from a political opponent is just that -  presumptuous. Everyone needs to take their partisan glasses off to recognize what politicians are really like. At the very least to realize that a lot of us are non-partisan and hold our "leaders" to a a higher expectation than just "not as bad" as the other guy.
