There are really only relative preferences; popular constructs like
"absolute opposition" are mythical.  (Essentially journalistic
shorthands.)  A voter may be indifferent *between* alternatives, 
but not *to* an alternative.  A voter may strongly prefer some
alternative more than another, but can't support or oppose an
alternative in isolation.  What's important is to make sure all the
vital alternatives are choices on the ballot, so all the vital
relative preferences can be voted.

D- I for one can surely support or oppose an alternative in isolation. 
Examples-- 
Hitler 100 percent absolute opposition
Stalin  100 percent absolute opposition
Saddam  100 percent absolute opposition

Liberals might write the same about Mr. Gingrich. Conservatives might write
the same thing about Mr. Clinton.
