It's only negative in your own mind. Libs is short hand for Liberals.
Tory is a name for the PC's (or the former Progressive Conservatives, federally). Research where Tory comes from.
Grits is the traditional name for the Liberal party federally (and it's trickled down to the Provincial level.
It's not irresponsible. It's technically the correct usage.
