We must be doing ordtak

We must be doing something right. We are actually opposing this war in the right way. ... We're being seen as serious opposition.

The Opposition aren't really the Opposition. They're just called the Opposition. But in fact they are the Opposition in exile. The Civil Service are the Opposition in residence.

Antony Jay (1930-)

When you're on a roll, the opposing team comes in a little excited and a little bit fearful. We have to fear the opposition, too. Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura.

The Opposition should be concentrating on opposing the government rather than involving themselves in endless speculation

We need to work on containing the opposition and keeping ourselves in the ball game. We have to stay away from big innings [for the opposing team], and if we can do that, we've got a chance to win.

There's a real surge in opposition to the war but on the other hand as we get into the (2008 presidential) election, the Democrats will be trying to get off scot-free and pretend they're opposing the war when they're letting it go on, costing lives.

It (some of the opposition) consists of what I call professional protesters. There are organizations - advocacy groups. Their job is to make money by opposing things. These groups oppose everything.

He's an intelligent guy. He's very good with mechanics. He's particularly good with putting together game plans on how to pitch the opposition -- utilizing his pitchers' strengths more than opposing hitters' weaknesses, which is a good way to go about it.

Lou Piniella (1943-)

The opposition should look seriously into reasons that led them to be rejected by the people. To show our good faith in promoting the culture of opposition (politics) in this country, I am going to set up a ministry to look into government and opposition relations.

The informal opposition towards President Slobodan Milosevic's government I think is very strong. In terms of organized opposition, we will see. This is the major test that we, the opposition leaders, will have to pass. It is up to us to persuade these people that we can make a difference.

I definitely think it is scary for opposing defenses because we have so many weapons out there. I'd hate to be an opposing coach trying to stop us. These guys are explosive.

OPPOSITION, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amuck by hamstringing it. The King of Ghargaroo, who had been abroad to study the science of government, appointed one hundred of his fattest subjects as members of a parliament to make laws for the collection of revenue. Forty of these he named the Party of Opposition and had his Prime Minister carefully instruct them in their duty of opposing every royal measure. Nevertheless, the first one that was submitted passed unanimously. Greatly displeased, the King vetoed it, informing the Opposition that if they did that again they would pay for their obstinacy with their heads. The entire forty promptly disemboweled themselves.
"What shall we do now?" the King asked. "Liberal institutions cannot be maintained without a party of Opposition."
"Splendor of the universe," replied the Prime Minister, "it is true these dogs of darkness have no longer their credentials, but all is not lost. Leave the matter to this worm of the dust." So the Minister had the bodies of his Majesty's Opposition embalmed and stuffed with straw, put back into the seats of power and nailed there. Forty votes were recorded against every bill and the nation prospered. But one day a bill imposing a tax on warts was defeated --the members of the Government party had not been nailed to their seats! This so enraged the King that the Prime Minister was put to death, the parliament was dissolved with a battery of artillery, and government of the people, by the people, for the people perished from Ghargaroo.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

We are side by side with Spain in opposing terrorism and opposing this notoriously vicious terrorist organization, the ETA.

That the opposition forces have made advancement is a mere lie. The opposition have no support among the people. If the opposition had made ... any advancement towards us ... it would have been reported in the media.
