Bush said it again last night. He even departed from the correct form in the text of his speech.
Is there some significance to that or is it just disrespect?

It's the Democratic party(used this way is a noun).....democratic is an adjective.
Democrat is a noun.

This your asking from the leader of the free world who can't pronounce nuclear? Face it, the man can't put together a coherent thought on his own, and even when he has the words written right in front of him, well, for the no child left behind president lets just say he took the short bus to school.

It's all a war of rhetoric. "Democrat" sounds more evil than "Democratic." After all, we live in a democratic society. By saying "Democratic Party," it sounds like they are saying the Dems are the good party because they are upholding the democratic way of governing. Just listen to the way the two words sound and you'll hear the distinction.

Firstly, what makes you think the modern Democrat Party is worthy of respect?? LOL They oughta be called Neo-Appeasement Party.
Secondly, they are Democrats, not Democratics. You vote Democrat, you don't vote Democratic.
Democratic is a small "d," not referring to a particular party.

It's just a bit of disrespect. The commentators on MSNBC picked up on that last night. Apparently Bush does it frequently, and he can't resist.
I wonder why he insists on saying "new-cue-lur" instead of "new-klee-ur".
