We've had links here and Pelagius has confirmed that in most teaching departments studies show the party affiliation is between 80 to 90 percent of economists belonging to the Democratic Party. As a soft science, and with the built-in biases, I tend to enjoy the rhetoric of economists, but in the macro sense, they don't tend to predict better than anybody else.
It's not a logical fallacy when it's been demonstrated that the vast majority quoted to support something also belong to one party where the rhetoric is unbalanced.
