Dear President Obama, Please address the Republicans calling us the Democrat Party.
In your push for bipartisanship with the Republicans you have really gone far beyond what I expected you to do. You've reached across the aisle and embraced them and even put them in your cabinet. Yet, they won't even use the right name when addressing your party. You've shown them nothing but respect and really haven't asked for anything in return. If you feel that is the right way to go I have to back you, but I can't stand it that you won't request they use some simple respect when addressing your party. Mr. President, please ask them to show us some respect and address our party with the correct name. You have to agree that it isn't too much to ask of them.

Yours truly,
Xultar

1. "it isn't too much to ask of them" - Was with you up to that point...
The stumbling block, of course, is "them", and not "it".

2. We aught to call them the 'Limbaugh Party'
After all, Rush lead the Republicans to defeat in 2006 and 2008.

Republicans own defeat and Limbaugh owns the Republicans.

3. I think we should called them the 'Repubic Party'
in reference, of course, to all their naughty little sex scandals.

4. I have a genuine questiod in...why does it matter really?
I know Democrats who say Democrat party and I've said it in the past before I learned online that thats some sort of pejorative. Why is it so offensive? just wondering.
