21. DEFINITELY. The proper name of OUR party is what WE say it is.

That would be the Democratic Party.

NOT the "Democrat Party." There is no such thing as the "Democrat Party." Poor schmucks - I guess they never learned there's a difference between a noun ("Democrat&quot and an adjective ("Democratic&quot .

It's NOT the "Democrat Party."

Any more than it's a "Democrat Senator..."

Or a "Democrat Congressman..."

Or a "Democrat Governor..."

Or a "Democrat bill..."

Or a "Democrat candidate..."

Or a "Democrat voter..."

Or a "Democrat President" for that matter.

That's what the fucking republi-CONS do. THEY think they have the right to designate what our party's name is. It's an attempt to bully, to place oneself above one's opponent, to grab a position of implicit superiority. I name you. I decide what you're called.

And my response to that is NO FUCKING-DAMN WAY!

That's why I call the opposition "republi-CONS". Not only because all they offer is a CON JOB, but because, if they think they can decide what my party's name is, then that door swings BOTH ways, pal.
