Scarborough "just call them what they want to be called"

[RB TexLa]

On the "Democrat Party" thing.

[blonndee]

1. I caught that.

He also said something like "I wouldn't want to be called a Republic."

[RB TexLa]

2. I'm sure there are more of them tired of it, that find it pretty childish

I guess if they thought it were worth it, some of them would use the term "The Greenic Party"

4. TRANSLATION: Joe realizes that his survival depends upon

the "backwash" from Keith Olbermann's show!

3. How did it come up? Did someone mention Bush* continually

saying "Democrat" party, even though the transcript and teleprompter said it correctly?

[Fovea]

6. Bushbaby said 'the Democrat party' in the speech.

Tough talk from a ReNAMBLican.

[illinoisprogressive]

5. I think the whole thing is silly. Reacting only makes the repukes get the reaction

they want. Ignore it and moveon

[iamjoy]

7. It's Like Good And Well To Me

Good is an adjective. Well is an adverb. Nancy Pelosi is doing a good job. Nancy Pelosi does her job well.

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective. The best politicians are Democrats. The Democratic politicians are the best.


It's a matter of proper grammar.

13. It's a grammar thing, yes, but it's mostly about RESPECT. If my name is "Deborah", and

you keep calling me "Debbie", and I ask you to call me "Deborah" time and again, and you refuse - then you are being disrespectful to me.

I understand those who don't think it's a big deal, but to me, it's hugh. And as long as pissypants calls me a member of the "democrat party", I'll know he's a disrespectful punk whose "bipartisan" references are 100% horseshit.

9. There's a reason that Repubs do it, and it's not just to annoy us

Frank Lutz (sp?) the Republican pollster, determined that focus groups thought that the term "Democratic" was good, and gave off positive vibes. Newt Gingrich was the one who then promoted the idea of referring to the Democratic Party as the "Democrat" Party.

(Actually, I think it goes back further than that, but that is how it came up in recent years.)

10. Boy - you sure are a one note on this topic - must be hard t o be a repuke on a dem site, huh...

Spend a lot of energy defending your repuke friends on a lot of threads tonite...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. LOL I guess someone had to say it.

[AspenRose]

12. Being subtle is not exactly a strong suit....ya know?

:D

8. I usually can't stomach Joe, but have to say for the first time

he made me laugh with the "wave" comment and he's right. Just imagine being at a football game where everyone is doing the wave. It goes up then down and that is what it must have felt like sitting there in that audience. :rofl:

Okay, the cold medicine is getting to me:crazy:
