		<description>And, oh dear, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bartleby.com/68/27/1727.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Columbia Guide to Standard American English&lt;/a&gt;, 1993:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The proper noun is the name of a member of a major American political party; the adjective Democratic is used in its official name, the Democratic party. Democrat as an adjective is still sometimes used by some twentieth-century Republicans as a campaign tool but was used with particular virulence by the late senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin, a Republican who sought by repeatedly calling it the Democrat party to deny it any possible benefit of the suggestion that it might also be democratic. Other nations also have political parties with the words Democrat and Democratic in their names. The uncapitalized words democrat and democratic have to do with believers in and supporters of government based on majority rule, the principles of equal rights, and the representative procedures developed to permit these principles to operate. Capitalize only the proper noun and the adjective when it refers to the Democratic party.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Another conspirator!  Evil Columbia!  Members of this cabal are EVERYWHERE!</description>

		<description>Oh, lookeee, the FEC has a webpage entitled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fec.gov/press/demfd97.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Democratic Party Official Activity&lt;/a&gt;.

I guess that page was written by nefarious plants within the FEC dedicated to making you look stupid.</description>

		<description>So, you DO think we&#039;re stupid.

That&#039;s silly.  Those are annotations with abbreviations for the longer party names, not the listings themselves.  Enter &quot;Democrat Party&quot; and you&#039;ll see there are zero listings.  Instead, you&#039;ll get an annotated notation at the bottom with often abbreviated party names.  For instance, &quot;Democrat Farm Labor&quot; is not the name of a real party either.

Try entering &quot;Democratic Party&quot; in the search box, Big Dick.  You&#039;ll get 90 results, as opposed to ZERO for &quot;Democrat Party.&quot;

Puh - leeeze.

It&#039;s petty behavior like this that pretty much guarantees people will continue to see you as a hack.</description>

		<description>Bleh.  Damn shell scripts.  

Go here: http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/imaging_info.shtml

Enter any name and click &quot;Get listing&quot;.  That should bring the actual coding page up.

		<description>No, it isn&#039;t.  The FEC uses the term &quot;Democratic Party.&quot;  Here&#039;s just one example.

Do you think people are so stupid they won&#039;t check your claims, Biggus Dickus?

Hack.  Hack, hack, hack.</description>

		<description>You should probably tell the FEC there is no &quot;Democrat Party&quot;.  It is, indeed, the official designation.

		<description>Yeah, you.  

I&#039;ve been reading your blog, and you&#039;re an obvious Republican HACK, John, with your little &quot;pro-life blogs&quot; and &quot;neo cath&quot; buttons.  Come off it.  Your blog is right wing as plain as day.

Hack!  Hack!

Sorry, I had to clear my throat.</description>

		<description>So that&#039;s how you&#039;ve found me out to be a Republican hack?  That I used Democrat party instead of Democratic?
