14. I e-mailed Zogby about the party affiliation question: "Democrat?" NO!!!!! |

It's the ***Democratic*** Party, dammit!!! :grr: My e-mail text:
In your usual survey question regarding political party affiliation, among your choices is "Democrat." I object to this wording -- it should be "Democratic" -- that is what has historically been printed on my ballot, and that is correct. If you look on the DNC Web site, the banner reads "The Democratic Party," not "The Democrat Party." I'm not being picky here. In the last few years, right-wing radio hosts and cable-TV conservative talking heads have used the phrase "Democrat Party" in their bloviations. Right-wing bloggers consistently mention the "Democrat Party." This is deliberately demeaning, as if to deny the fact that the Democratic Party can be democratic, etc. Please don't fall for this trick, or propagate it. I urge you to correct your survey wording to read accurately, "Democratic" when referring to the Democratic Party. Thanks for your consideration of this matter -- I appreciate taking the surveys and having a voice. Kind regards,
