I apologize to you Bob. Apparently you did not pick up on my comments to J. Frank Parnell. I researched the terms democrat and democratic and stand corrected on the proper usage. I have heard the term democrat party since about 1960 from adults and the television news and firmly believed that to be the proper usage. I now understand that it is the democratic party and that a member of that party is a democrat. Unlike you and a few others, including some on the right, I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. I even posted that while the democrats took control of the house in Jan. 2007 and the meltdown began in early 2008, the dems had very little to do with the meltdown. That was caused by a large number of very large companies, stupidly investing in junk mortgages that failed, among other things. While government had only a peripheral hand in the collapse.
