Should the Republican party be called the Republic party?

Poll question: Should the Republican party be called the Republic party?

Conservatives love to call the Democratic party the Democrat party, because they say there is nothing "democratic" about it. Should we call the Republican party the Republic party?

1. Don't mince words: they're the Fascist Party

Seriously - the party exists to expand corporate rights, plain and simple.

3. I vote Fascist too!

[TN al]

10. Fascist, Nazi

tomayto, tomahto

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Better suggestion

Call them 'Publicans.

It's a similar bowdlerization, and it hooks into their Bible fetishism, too.

8. Republic has better connotations than "Democrat", so no

n/t.

9. I agree

It hearkens back to the days of the Roman Republic and also to Abraham Lincoln's legacy. Somewhere in between now and then the party has gone wildly astray and the Democratic party back on track.

11. How about

the RepubliKKKan party?

12. I say lead by example and don't follow them into the mud on this.

Issues are way more important than getting sucked down to their level.

But, always try to call them on their disrespect by using the improper grammar: "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party".
