They aren't "dragging the Clintons in."

I tell you one more thing that absolutely offends me to no end - the word "Democrat" being used instead of Democratic. A noun in place of an adverb or an adjective. Bad English, and absolutely meant to demean and humiliate.

On that note, I would so dearly love to see the word "Repuc" or even "Repug" used every single time the word "Republican" is used. Tit or tat... grade school gotchas. Why can't we throw some of these back at them? They use these demeaning words for decades, and it eventually takes a toll on us as a party. My gods! They even have a wordsmith just for this reason! Where is ours? For once, even it's something as petty as this that might take years to yield results, I say we have to fight fire with at least a little of our own fire.
