3. Well I have a hearing loss so I thought perhaps the 'ic" was too quiet
for me too hear, but apparently not.

Do they (Repubs who pull this trick) have any idea how stupid it makes them sound when they drop it? Next they'll be saying they brung peace to the Middle East and ain't leaving until they git 'er done.

4. "Democrat presidents and Republican presidents" needing the ability to
spy on people I guess. I missed the rest of the statement because I started this thread. :blush:

5. $100
to the first Senator who says "Repug presidents". Maybe we can bid and auction on appropriate sobriquets and epithets for campaign donations. A lot more substantial and easy of the Federal budget than lobbyist demands after all. What can be lost except the high tone of Senatorial debates?

8. It's intentional
"Democratic" doesn't only refer to individuals in a party. By shortening it to "Democrat" the Repugs de-emphasize the connotation of "democracy". It's intentional manipulation.
