These are worthy questions, Mark. A sidebar: Democrat for Democratic is a politically charged term, brought into use by the GOP and widely disseminated by them, perhaps in an effort to separate that party from immediate semantic linkage to democratic values. One might thus say the Republic Party, only I find the American left less unscrupulous and more honest, by and large, in their use of language. Just to note your choice of term has entered America’s charged political landscape. I continue to bristle at the term’s dishonesty.

Cheers,
John

Update: the moral being, I guess, that language is an explosive thing and it deserves to be handled with care. :-)
