I wish ever Democrat would start calling the Republican Party
"The Republic Party."

When the media says, "why are you calling it the Republic Party?" Democrats should respond, "why do you call the Democratic Party, the Democrat Party?"

This is so minor, but it bugs the shit of me that they've done it so much that many people now actally say the "Democrat Party." On the other hand, that shop probably sailed along time ago.
