they call us the "Democrat party"

I think every speaker at the RNC was required to use the improper pejorative "Democrat party" when referring to the party but better yet, call us socialists and Marxists. I lost count of how time they said it. They are such gross childish bullies.

... that they want to label us with. Through repetition they hope they can make it stick and make it part off the common lexicon. So when people make mention of Democ-RATS, Socialists, far left terrorists, Marxists, or liberals they use these terms with great disgust and distain. This way they can paint us up as being sub-human and unworthy.

As in:

Can't balance a budget
Can't govern
Can't come up with a healthcare plan
Can't win an election without voter suppression
And...
Can't obey the law.

I can think of LOTS more, but you get the point
