I'm not going to argue about points as obvious as that political affiliation and ideology are highly correlated. You're avoiding the obvious. That's your choice, and no one else can fix it for you.
I have read what he actually wrote, which is why I know you're being dishonest about it.
You're not "going to argue" because you don't have an argument to make supporting your claim party affiliation is "highly correlated" with ideology. Many reporters I've read and spoke to about party affiliation deliberately register as independent. That doesn't say anything about their ideological beliefs. Othes might register in either political party- especially in a one-party place like D.C.- in order to vote in primary elections which are far more relevant to determining elections than the general. Which, likewise, wouldn't tell us anything about their ideological leanings.

That's it. You're calling me dishonest while you're the one you need to look at for that. I'm done.
Seems like you need to start looking inside yourself.
