The "democrat" party

[SoFlaJet]

what's with this new one all day today? Every repub on TV I've seen today have been calling it that-including the idiot boy king

1. Old, old, old Repig re-frame

They know it's the DemocratIC Party, but you may notice occasionally that they say it and push the final syllable, to-wit: RAT

Sleazy bastards.

That's why I took to calling them "Repiglicans." It just fits soooooooo well.

2. The Republic party is trying to disassociate the party with the political

methodology. The Republic party doesn't want the American public to associate Democrats with the Democratic process.

The Republic party is desperate.

3. It's a Puke slight that they've been using for quite some time.

It's their petty and juvenile way of insulting us.

4. It's a Republican slur. WE do not refer to ourselves that way.

They decided it was their right to rename us......and attempted to force the language to conform to their contemptuous opinions.

It is, however, frequently a handy way to identify a troll.

5. They've been doing that since Ronnie Reagan.

They think it pisses us off. I laugh and just think it makes them sound "ignernt." Like ever other werds gotta be a sybull short.

6. for some reason it causes some sort of aural dissonance which is annoying

It is like striking several random keys on a piano simultaneously. Rove probably picked this trick up out of some sociology book. I've been calling them the republic party for weeks now.

7. the prepubic party.
