It would nice if someone would clarify: Is it the “DEMOCRAT” Party or the “DEMOCRATIC” PARTY.
Without the ick, the Democrat Party wouldn’t exist.
If you’re a Republican, you’re from the Republican Party.
If you’re a Dummycrat, you’re from the Dumbcrap Party.
It's simply the "RATs"
It was self-chosen in reaction to a GWB campaign commercial where the word "democrat" scrolled across the screen, and the syllable "rat" was the last to disappear.
They whacked....it stuck.
Make it easy, the RAT party.
