Would also like to point out however, that many conservative pundits also make the same mistake as do some Freepers. Walter Williams used "Democratic party" in his article yesterday. This is how the left wins the war on words. They just keep repeating over and over until the word means something it does not. Straight out of Alinsky, who stole the idea from Goebbels.
I always use the derogatory pejorative "democRAT" when I refer the the opposition party.
