Well, not really. Sometimes the view from inside (of one element) can be just a little bit skewed. It could, perhaps, even be infected with a bit of bias. Sometimes the best observers are those from the outside. In my humble opinion, this is such a case.
It is unfortunate that you made the mistaken assumption that I was always a Republican. In my rebellious youth I was a member of the Socialist Worker's Party for a couple of years. I was also active in the Democratic Party. I was once a delegate to a Democratic Party county convention and a precinct captain for the McGovern for President campaign.
