It's "DEMOCRAT", not " DEMOCRATIC"
Dmztahoe

Posted on 02/09/2016 2:06:28 PM PST by dmzTahoe

Why do the talking heads and all the experts on television continue to get it wrong.

It is the Democrat Party, not the Democratic Party.

It is the Democrat candidate, not the Democratic candidate.

It is the Democrat primary, not the Democratic primary.

It is the Democratic voters, not the Democratic voters.

Every network and every commentator states it wrong. CNN is the worst, with their teletype continually misrepresenting. All credibility is lost, their ignorance shows.

Have I reached election overload this early? Or does it bother anyone else like it bothers me?

I’ve always hated that, too.
Democrat = noun.
Democratic = adjective.

Besides civics, people are blowing right by English.

And die-hard D’s actually get upset when people use Democrat Party vs Democratic Party.

You just hit on one of my major complaints of the misuse of the democrats v democratic in media and ALL politicians. It implies the democrats are the only party that is democratic. So I shopped a logo implying they are bloodsuckers.

Rush noted this a few years ago.

Democrats aren’t too smart when it comes to naming things. Affordable Care Act comes to mind very quickly.

I’ve been saying this for decades!

The Democrat Party is the RAT party and stands against everything that our tattered Constitution once meant.

It is the party of infanticide, homosexuality, bestiality, fat bloated government and career politicians, and of the abominations: Obama and Clinton!

In a proper time this party and its adherents would be tossed into the Potomac in order to soak the tar and feathers from their corrupted bodies.

I write it wrong intentionally to irritate my extreme left wing liberal journalist brother.

It works.

It was many years ago that Rush Limbaugh first began referring to the "Democrat Party" rather than the "Democratic Party".

Kinda like flip-flopping the red state and blue state designations, because Democrat = Red State = Communism, so “let’s call us the Blue States and the Republicans the Red Staters,” decided on and led by the media, I believe.

I’m with you on that, I call them Democrats, too. Although any more, in the interest of accuracy I just call them communists.

Notice how often they state the Democratic debates rather than the Democrat debate. Ignorance is bliss


Sure they do. It’s a play on words to make themselves sound better for the ignorant masses.

I’ve been venting about this too, especially when it’s a conservative outlet.
