There is not and has never been any such thing as "The Democrat Party." In fact, that phrase has always been exclusively intended as a slur, and is used exclusively by right wingers.

Quote:
"Democrat Party" is a political epithet used in the United States for the Democratic Party.[1] The term has been used in negative or hostile fashion by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party in party platforms, partisan speeches and press releases since 1940.[2]
In actuality, it is "The Democratic party." It has been The Democratic Party for 200 years.

Yes. Its members are Democrats. And votes for the party are "Democratic." As its members of Congress are "Democratic Congressmen," and it has given us a number of "Democratic Presidents."

Read and weep:

Democratic Congressman Markey to run for Kerry's Senate seat | Reuters

Or this from Fox News: "Brian Schatz symbolized a generational change in Hawaii's Senate delegation, taking the hand of his new colleague, 88-year-old Sen. Daniel Akaka, moments before being sworn in Thursday as the successor to the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye."

Explain that then to The Democratic Party.

I'm just going to leave the rest of your post to simmer in its own deliciously ignorant wrongness. It has achieved a unique status in that regard that we like to call "fractal wrongness." It is in fact so completely, irremediably, transcendently wrong that it is wrong at every level of resolution.

But when someone asserts white people that don't vote "democratic" are intellectually inferior to those that do, I like to point out his retardedness.

I never said it wasn't used. I said it was incorrect.

Thanks for contributing essentially nothing worthwhile to the thread.
Whatever. Ignorance is bliss, right, slave?

People call me a pessimist, and yet ive been right about the financial crisis, the energy crises, the environmental crisis. Im no pessimist. Its the rest of humanity that are delusionally optimistic. Already your nation has the highest incarceration rate, and you still have more or less free speech. Wait until you get European style blasphemy laws (yes, theyll give them a cuddly name like ' anti hate speech' or 'anti terror legislation' or 'incitement to violence' and other euphemisms) and they start imprisoning you for daring to criticize your dear president.

Do you ever read what you write? You could not have been any more ironic with two consecutive sentences if you tried.

So you say. But I did not call you a pessimist. I called you an irrational paranoid. The difference is profound.

I find it inetersting that, as a group, progressive liberals always seem to discover a magic gene. These magic genes ultimately validate their self-righteous positions.

Funny how that works.
