I realized today that the Democrat Party actually exists -- in Thailand.

Could this be what Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans keep blathering on about?

There are announcements of "Democrat Party" meetings in my local paper on a regular basis. That is how the local Democrats have long referred to themselves. I realize that many opponents also use the term "Democrat Party," but the absence of the "-ic" is not necessarily an indication that the person speaking is not a true Democrat.
