When I point out a politician that is gone off the reservation, I refer to him as an idiot or a jackass. Wouldn't it sound goofy to call the politician an elephant ! So, I refer to politicians as a whole entity and one by one.

When someone just throws facts and data away for the sake of sticking with a mistaken vote or mistaken ideology, then that person is not taken seriously.
