What horseshit! I think I saw the infantile jab at the Dems on CNN.CON before, within the last week or so. So apparently, they're enjoying this bullshit.
Ruth Marcus article (about use of "Democrat" as an adjective):
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/21/AR2006112101223.html



Besides the use of this term, it almost looks like they want to TRY and taint the Dems with the foley scandal.:grr:

1. The Democrat (sic) leader didn't know about the other over-friendly...
contact with the pages. The Republicon leaders DID KNOW!

I wonder if this is why the Democrats on the Committee didn't call for sanctions?

3. Democrats on the Committee called for sanctions
Republican Chairman (Hastert's Friend) Judy Biggert owes Hastert over ruled them. Story not told by media

2. I've decided....
I've decided that it should be a requirement that those seeking elected office must demonstrate the ability to pronounce the opposition party's name before they can place their name on the ballot. Also, television "news" shows that do not know the propper name of the two major US political parties should be fined for each time that they hack the name of one of the parties.

4. Go here to complain...

One of the choices is feedback on grammar (although I suspect there is more to it than that.)
