I'm pretty pissed at my State "Democrat" party
our state party put up a new website with a store on it, so I went to check out what kind of Democratic swag I could pick up.

Every stinking thing they sell is for the "Democrat" party, not the DEMOCRATIC party

:banghead:

1. The page title uses "Democratic"
"Please support Democrat" doesn't even make sense. I'm guessing their graphics person is a dittohead and thinks he's being very clever.

what a maroon!

I like the new website and checked out the store for goodies but was dismayed and a little upset to find "Vote Democrat" and "God bless the Democrat Party"

the Republicans have been using the word "Democrat" as a slam, we are not the Democrat party, we are the Democratic party! I don't know who you had do the graphics, but I think they made an bad error!

2. "Please Support Democrat"
That doesn't make any sense. "Please Support the Democrat" or "Please Support Democrats" would be fine, but "Please Support Democrat" is just silly. :rofl:

7. Hey, this is a third world state
where the majority speaks English as a second language after Spanish or one of the Indian languages at home.

13. I know, I cringe at sinage all over this town
I live in a heavily Hispanic and Asian part of town and those signs are spelled correctly (well, at least the Chinese ones) in their own languages.

The signs in honky parts of town all have apostrophes before the "s" in plurals, gross misspellings, and every other grammatical sin you can imagine.

I blame it all on so many people having English as a second language, especially the Texans who moved here.

:evilgrin:

16. LOL that got some action! see the response I got from the email I sent
You'll notice that the store link now re-directs you back to the home page.
I also noticed that this morning - it was set-up as a placeholder until we
get the final items for sale back from our local printer. But once I
noticed what they had up on the link, I had them disable the link. Check
back for some good items soon. I too hate the "Democrat Party" non-sense
the republicans use.

15. I don't blame you! I think I'd also be a bit pissed off at our public school system.
How could they make an error like that and not realize it?

21. hmmm that is not good
Edited on Tue May-06-08 02:12 PM by SargeUNN
I will try to talk to Todd about this, it really isn't good to keep that republican label like that. Thanks for posting that. Opps sorry I thought this was Arizona but re-reading I see it is New Mexico.

25. Sarge! (I assume this is Sarge from the Nova M network?)
Sarge,

I hope you see this. I saw another thread you posted about a little girl needing help. I tried to PM you, but it appears you don't have enough posts yet.

I've heard your show on Nova M, and before that, I heard you many times on Mike Malloy's show.

I think people here may not realize who you are. Are you able to start a thread yet? If not, let me or someone else here know (I don't post much anymore), so a thread introducing you can be started.

There are rules about what someone can post with regard to helping someone monetarily. You need to contact Skinner, the main administrator of this forum: skinner@democraticunderground.com. Then, if he approves it, one thread on the topic will be allowed.

I believe I heard you talking about this little girl on your show.

So, to anyone reading this, please know this is Sarge, from Nova M and KPHX, and he's not a troll. I'm sure Mike Malloy among many others will vouch for him.

I would also urge you all to tune in to his show on Sundays on Nova M. He brings light to issues related to hurricane Katrina, which just about no one else is covering in the media these days.

Best to you,

wildflower

22. I'm confused
If the choice is:

Please support Republican. Or please support Democrat, then I support Democrat.

I am a Democrat. The guy I support is a Democrat. Therefore, I support Democrat. I support democratic is grammatically incorrect.
