I thought politicians, like lawyers, were fair game regardless of country. Not politics but the politicians.

I agree completely!! It comes back to what you said before, treat people how you would like to be treated! If not better!! Some of us have thicker skins than others so while I may accept an occasional "Dave, you uneducated clod.", someone else may be offended with "that's a silly idea".
