Strange Talking Point: The End of the Democrat Party?

[MannyGoldstein]

As I'm sure everyone here is aware, the Fascisti began using the semi-literate phrase "Democrat Party" instead of the (obviously) correct "Democratic Party". I guess they thought that their little secret phrase would make them important - like 11-year-olds do.

In Bush's recent speechifyin' I've noticed that he's not been mispronouncofyin' words - very unusual. And in his most recent speech, a bombshell - he correctly said "Democratic Party". Not only that, but I heard Rush Limbaugh correctly say "Democratic Party" the same day. Looks like the Rethuglicans have finally figured out that talking like a dumbass makes you seem... like a dumbass, and the (mis)talking point went out to the minions.

Anyone else notice this happening?

1. Quit trying to make "Democrat Party" happen!

:p

2. Statistical clustering only. Under stress they revert to English.

Sorry, I don't think it's a trend. I've never noticed the president saying "Democrat Party". If Rush slips and uses a real word instead of his politically bleached phrases like "Democrat Party" I'm not impressed. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

5. Reference

There's a bunch of examples of Bush saying "Democrat Party", e.g., http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/07/20040723-8.html from the White House.

Also, I think that O'Really has dropped this nonsense too. Interesting.

3. I didn't notice

But they say Democrat Party because they don't want people to think that we are Democratic (we are) and they aren't (they aren't).

4. He, Bush, still can't say hundred. It always sounds like "hunert".

Ever notice this?
