It is someone who, at best, does legwork for a party and at worse does dirty work for a party. An extreme partisan, like Hewitt, will put party above ideology or country. An extreme ideologue, like Kristol, will put ideology above party or country. Then there are people like Mary McCarthy and most of the rest of us who simply belong to a party. Often they vote for their party and sometimes they even give money to their party. Sometimes, too, and we all know such people, they vote for and give money to members of the opposing party. Merely writing out a check to a political party, be you a CIA op, a journalist, or even a dentist, doesn't make you a partisan, except to those who don't know what a partisan is.
