Hopelessly Partisan
The fellow whose political thinking is hopelessly partisan will not, of course, deserve a place in the ranks of the intelligent. But how do you conclusively decide if someone is hopelessly partisan? The quickest test is to ask him, “What is your crossover issue?” In other words, if he’s a Republican, on which issue does he cross over and agree with the position of the Democrats? Or if he’s a Democrat, on which issue does he agree with the position of the Republicans? Anyone who cannot name his issue is pretty surely a Hopeless Partisan.
