They changed it after the repubs did that commercial which supposedly showed a subliminal RAT after showing the word democrat. From then on, the dems have called themselves the Democrat-ic party - but the funny thing is - nobody refers to them as the democrat-ics ..?? but they always refer to them as the DEMOCRATS. That's why it's still legally the DEMOCRAT PARTY!!!
Thanks, that's interesting. I've been confused about that whole "democrat"/"democratic" thing.
Boy they sure were awful touchy about subliminal "RAT" ad... almost like it hit a nerve, eh?
