Well worth reading - on using "Democrat" party as a label
"Democrat Party" Decrier Rips Admin for “Childish” Limbaugh Strategy

Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer slammed a “petty” Barack Obama and his “childish” staff last night for engaging in the Limbaugh Strategy. In the same breath as he piously decried childishness, Fleischer used a Limbaugh trademark – referring to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat” Party.

On David Shuster’s MSNBC show, Fleischer did not answer repeated and pointed questions about whether hoping Obama fails is “unpatriotic.” The infamous Bush servant, who once used the White House podium to thuggishly lecture Bill Maher and all Americans on patriotism – “all Americans... need to watch what they say, watch what they do” – described Limbaugh as “a conservative radio host, a very popular one, and I like him.”

2. "It's wrong, it bothers me, don't say that!"
"OK, I'm so sorry it pisses you off." "DEMOCRAT PARTY!" "DEMOCRAT PARTY!" "DEMOCRAT PARTY!" "Heh, heh, heh."

This is a real basic kid's thing no matter how noble the argument against it may be. The longer you give up your number to people as to what bugs you, the longer they will continue to do it. Sure, it's childish, but it works for them. This is such a simple concept I'm surprised so many do not get it.

3. Hey "Ari", there are only 2 main political parties in this country.
If you can't get the proper names of them correct, how stupid does that make you? Why should anyone care about your opinion?
