Yes, it does. As I said, politicians are fair game. But to equate civilian democrats or republicans with the
politicians who are Democrats or Republicans would
itself be an insult that I would issue a caution about.
It's not a matter of beliefs, but rather a matter of ethics. I don't think I'm the only one who makes certain assumptions about politicians' ethics that I do not make about ordinary citizens belonging to a political party. Besides, I don't for a minute think any given politician really believes either the liberal or conservative dogma of their stereotypical constituants.
