Bzzzzzzzzzzt! Sorry, wrong answer. But thanks for playing!
The political party that is currently in charge and which is represented most appropriately by a jackass (both in icon and leadership) is the "DEMOCRAT" party. It most assuredly is NOT democratic and should never be referred to that way.
So either the Goldwater Institute, its survey company or the author, Michael Naragon, got that one wrong.
I know, I'm being petty, but like they say, "words mean something".
If you look it up, the Democrat party changed it’s name to the Democratic party at some point.
petitfour is correct, however I agree with the point that the “Democratic” party isnt’ very democratic, or republican or even rule of law..
I cut-and-pasted those questions directly from the Goldwater site, so I take no responsibility for the Democrat/Democratic error. :D I will fix it on my site.
