that at least the House could cite them for violating the rules of decorum for using a pejorative on the House floor. The word "Democrat" is not an adjective and using it as one is pejorative.

The first time I saw it was years ago on the Internet written as DemocRAT. I've always assumed that is the pejorative usage they are pushing.
