Cornyn: "The Democrat Party" - Why do we allow this disrespect?
Even in the Senate, which is supposedly the paragon of old fashioned gentility, they mock the name of our party by refusing to call it "The Democratic Party" and no one will say a word about it.

2. Funny...
I was thinking about that myself on my way to work. When I get to Washington I intend to make it an issue. Maybe we should call them the Republic Party? Idiots. :mad:

5. It's just his way of saing, "Hey, lookie here! I'm a MORON"
I feel less an insult to the party than I do contempt for him.

8. I had the tv on in the background and I heard him say this and
I immediately thought "What an idiot"

Did anyone else read that Cornyn complained that he had trouble getting dates?

Ever think Senator, that if that is the case, it is because you are a moron?

9. I wish someone would call them on it...
Just as I wish someone would call out the goobers on how they pronounce Iraq.

We invade the country, kill their citizens, destroy their infrasctucture and can't even give them the courtesy of pronouncing the name of their country correctly. If I hear "Eye-rack" one more time I'll scream...
