Reply #10: Considering these two definitions.

[Ozymanithrax]

pur·ist (pyrst)
n.
One who practices or urges strict correctness, especially in the use of words.

democrat definition demo·crat (dem′ə krat′)

noun

1.a person who believes in and upholds government by the people; advocate of rule by the majority
2.a person who believes in and practices the principle of equality of rights, opportunity, and treatment
3.a member of the Democratic Party

So, considering definition 1, since we are bing strictly correct with words, when Republicans eventually take power again (no party stays in power forever) does that mean Democrats should follow majority rules and let them have anything that 50 votes plus a Republican Vice President will vote for (in the Senate). If they decide to pass a law outlawing abortion, should the Senate refuse to filibuster (majority rules) and the house simply say, you guys have the majority.

Definition 2 I could go with.

Definition 3 doesn't give me enough information.
