politically fluid

Politicianitis

A common yet incurable mental disease that affects a person's attitude in common life situations. It causes negative emotional responses to everyday tasks and responsibilities and can be extremely dangerous if contracted by a person with public authority. However, in the United States it is not considered dangerous and is often accepted or encouraged by the general population. Infection is also a requirement to hold a political seat of power in the United States.

Symptoms Include (But are not limited to):

-Lying
-Cheating
-Stealing
-Laziness
-Feeling that nothing is your fault
-Feeling no guilt
-Feeling that everything is everyone else's problem
-And an urge to create really obnoxious television and radio commercials

Congressmen, Senators, The President, Democrats, Republicans, and Microsoft employees and stock holders.

Patient: "Doctor, I'm feeling uncontrollable urges to steal money from my neighbor, cheat on my taxes and buy expensive things on credit with no intention of ever paying it back. What's wrong with me?"

Doctor: "Have you ever considered running for President? Your tests came back positive for Politicianitis!"

Bi-political

Somebody who sees the upsides and downsides to both the Republican and Democratic parties. Not necessarily a person who falls in the middle of the spectrum, rather one who has views that align and conflict with both major US political parties.

Did you see that guy go into the bar where they have both fiscally responsible initiatives but are still socially liberal? I really think he’s bi-political. Do you get that vibe from him, too?
