I came across this cartoon today, and I immediately noticed something I have to thank
jonathankorman for having raised in his excellent post
post over in talk_politics, that the term "Democrat" is a
conservative tic. I did a highly unscientific survey of websites, and discovered "Democrat" is used on Fox News, The Washington Times, and a bit of a mixed bag for the New York Post (while the headers typically use "Democrat," the body of the reports favors "Democratic.") The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, never use "Democrat" and always use the correct term "Democratic."
