I think there is some truth in that. However, I do think liberals and conservatives alike are both susceptible of accepting a policy based on the paper it's wrapped in. Remember Guantanamo? Where is the outrage from the left? It's largely absent because of who is in office. The left gives Obama an enormous pass. Where was the outrage towards Bush when he was creating entirely new gigantic branches of government and spending money like crazy? It was largely absent because the right gave Bush an enormous pass. People are "fans" of politics and that's an issue. Policy should be what people champion and not politicians. But I digress, I think your slightly longer answer is likely true.
