On the Nov. 17th. edition of Hardball, Chris Mathews interviewed former 
Bush advisor Ron Christie.

Christie was bloviating along, using the usual left-handed slap of 
referring to the Democratic Party as the 'Democrat Party.'

Is that really an insult?

Do members of that party wish to be called Democratics instead of Democrats?

Republicans in the Republican Party
Independents in the Independent Party
Communists in the Communist Party
Socialists in the Socialist Party
Liberatarians in the Liberatarian Party
Whigs in the Whig Party
Nazis in the Nazi Party
Progressives in the Progressive Party
Greens in the Green Party
Democrats in the Democratic Party?

It doesn't make sense to me, but I always thought it was 'Liberal' they 
didn't like...
