This really bugs me

I've noticed the same thing that masswaster talks about on dKos: the use of the term "Democrat Party" instead of Democratic Party. Bush uses it all the time, now I've noticed Palin using it. It is meant as a slur. I'm tempted to do as masswater suggests and respond by using "Republic Party" for now on. But republic means "A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them." So Anti-Republic Party is more accurate. Other suggestions welcome.
