Ok, this is petty and quick. I have long wanted to not think about the "Democrat" vs. "Democratic" micro-slur, that's the sort of button they will love to push forever, always a coy look on their face, "who me?". I have little time for puzzles like that (boring!)
But you can't just forget things like this, let someone needle you forever, language is important, and one must face the currents of language, even when they seem minor... I don't have to explain that to you, this "Democrat Party" stuff drives you nuts too...
So, people have recommended, "Republic" party, etc., but nothing really sticks, well, mine may not either, and I can't decide for you anyway, but for myself I think I'll just start calling theirs the "UnDemocratic Party". That should settle it.
Now back to more pressing matters, like who to vote for in 2008.
