    Default What's the deal with Republicans calling the Democratic party the "Democrat party"?

    WTF? Why are we suddenly dropping the end off of the names? Should we call the Republican party the "Republic party"? What a childish thing, making a crusade out of a bizarrely developed pet peeve. It just highlights the fact that the opposition is composed of babies.

    1. Consistency of language: Republicans make up the Republican Party and Democrats make up the Democrat Party. Democrats do not make up a "Democratic" Party any more than Republicans make up a "Republicanatic" Party.
    2. Truth in language: Democrats insist on calling themselves "Democratic" in order to invoke a positive image. After all, who can be against something that is democratic? However, there's nothing democratic about the Democrat Party; therefore to call themselves "Democratic" is a lie.
    3. The Southern Man is on record of using the correct term "Democrat Party" long before it became popular with popular pundits.

    for about 20 years now they have been doing it.

    Funny thing is you can spot a phoney dem on TV by catching them saying Democrat party.

    No democrat would do that.

    It started at the same time as the calling the Democratic Party the democrat party.

    It just feels like giving into a con mans game.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    I fail to see how it's even a put down. It's just improper grammar.
