I almost forgot......a freeper "corrected" me today on the use......

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

....of the phrase "Democratic party".

He said "Don't you mean 'Democrat party'?", without a hint of snarkiness.

I replied, "No, I'm not an idiot."

[Quakerfriend]

1. Good for you! Did he even get it?

:think:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

4. He just kind of went on to whatever else he was yammering about

If he really wanted to debate proper usage, I would have Funk and Wagnalls'ed his ass.

[monmouth]

2. It's such basic correct English....I just don't get it...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

5. Remember, this party likes to ignore science too

Ejumacatun??? What's dat?

8. They shopped that phrase to irritate. That was their sole purpose in doing it.

It had to do with the commercial years back with the word R A T bolded within the word Democrat.

The appropriate response, if you wanted to be forthright about it, to that "Democrat Party" bullshit is "Why you childish motherfucker. You must be a member of the PUBE-LICK party, is that it???"

3. Arrgghhh, I HATE that, largely because the

repukes started using it deliberately as a put-down. Next time he starts that shit, ask him if he belongs to the "republican't" party, or the "republic" party. Fucking idiots.

6. I will always give Tweety Matthews credit for one thing......

One night that twit Ron Christie used it, and Chris called him on it. You should have seen that cross-eyed geek hem and haw and pretend he had no idea what Matthews was talking about.

11. It's common in America - idiots re-defining words to have a stupid meaning/spelling...

... compare with, e.g., "begging the question".

7. The Republican dumbing-down effect

Dumbing-down your constituency is a helluva way to achieve a desired outcome.

10. Considering it came from a Repubeican, I'd say you did OK.

[Robbien]

12. It is astounding how rude GOPers feel they can act

Going about in public throwing around freeper slurs. I blame hate talk radio.

[youngdem]

13. I would have retorted "Oh, you must belong to the rePUBIC party, then, because you're a dick"

[SoCalDem]

14. I like calling them Republican't s

They can't seem to do anything correctly..

Kind of sad really... they go to all the trouble of rigging elections, and then they cannot govern :)
