Arpaio won't run

[CARLHAYDEN]

Remember that Arizona has a bit of a tradition of electing crazies as governor.

We apologize for Napolitano.  She only got initially elected due to a three way general election in which she did NOT win a majority of the vote (just a narrow plurality) over a Republican candidate liked to Qwest (in that year slightly more toxic than being linked to AIG is today).

And what's your excuse for her landslide win four years later?

In any case, you deftly overlooked Bacon King's tacit reference to Evan Mecham, and I may as well throw Fife "crafts of unknown origin" Symington into the mix too.  As you well know, both nutcases ended their terms early in disgrace.

First, 2006 was a Democrat year.

Second, the Republican party was in the initial stages of a civil war at that time, which has been substantially resolved today.

Third, the Republican nominee in 2006, while a nice man, was inept politically.

Fourth, Symington did make mistakes in his life, including saving the life of a scumbag, when he (Symington) was a lifeguard.

That may be, but we're talking about Arizona, not Thailand here. 

[CARLHAYDEN]

The Democrats gained a couple of Congressional seats in Arizona in 2006, as well as other offices.

Don't know why you decided to insert "Thailand," into this thread.  Was it just a matter of trying to change the subject?

Correct, the Democrats representing the Democratic Party did so.

What?  You're the one who started talking about the Democrat Party!  You tell me why you decided to insert Thai politics into a discussion about Arizona?!

[CARLHAYDEN]

Well, I guess you're making as much sense as you usually do (zero equals zero).

Is Carl really this dense?

From the Seattle Times:

By Kyung M. Song

Seattle Times Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — For the second time in three months, an unexpected event has opened up a plum job for U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks.

But this time, the Bremerton Democrat

-----

Hmm.

I suppose a certain poster at this forum would have us believe that the writer is referring to a party in Thailand.

Another poster would have us believe that anyone who disagrees is "dense."

Now, drop the stupidity or I'll post other examples!

A member of the Democratic Party is a Democrat....nobody is disputing this. Do you really not see what this is about? Really?

Yes.

You're being 'dense.'

What's it about then?

1) Let's try this: Carl, are you a citizen of the State of "Arizonian"? "Democrat" is a personal adjective; "Democratic" is a noun.

2) 2006 being a good year for Democrats is a pretty flimsy excuse for Napolitano winning reelection by almost a 2-1 margin and sweeping every county in the state by double-digits. Sorry Carl, but she must've done something right.

Regarding others' comments about Arpaio being electorally invulnerable, I wouldn't be so sure. In 08 he won reelection with only 55% of the vote. Not great for a 16 year incumbent in a Republican County while McCain was simultaneously carrying Maricopa by over 10 points. It might be county residents realize Sheriff Joe isn't so much uniquely "tough" as a "media whore".

Of course not, silly bean.  That example clearly describes a member of the U.S. Democratic Party.

If, on the other hand, it had described Norm Dicks as a "Democrat Representative" or something similar, then for some reason it would have been ascribing him to the Thai Democrat Party.  As everybody knows, there is no party in the U.S. in which "Democrat" is used as an adjective as well as a noun, so logically it could only be talking about the Thai party that shares a similar name.

Get it?

First, from Merriam-Webster Onlince Dictionary:

Main Entry: dem·o·crat
Pronunciation: \ˈde-mə-ˌkrat\
Function: noun

Second, guess you are in to making things up.  Where did you get "arizonian"? 

Third, if you bothered to read my post you would see that not only did I point out that 1986 was a bad year for Republicans, and a good year for Democrats, biut, that in addition the Republican candidate for Governor was unusually weak candidate (a nice guy, but weak).

Nobody disputes Democrat is a noun, just your missuse of it as an adjective dawg.

But, Badget posted that "'Democrat' is a personal adjective."

Or, didn't you read his post?

[Joe Republic]

Badger seems to have got it mixed up, but the rest of us have hopefully helped to educate you.

Perhaps you might want to "educate" the gentleman (a 'progressive Democrat') who runs Pollster (used to be Mystery Pollster), who in his reported polls on the generic ballot uses the term "Democrat" as a party identifier.

I can cite many others if you want.

Being a noun in that context, it is therefore a correct usage.

Next example?

Either you failed to understand my most recent post, or you are now agreeing with me.

Given your record of being disagreeable, I will presume the former.

The truth is that both terms 'Democrat party' and 'Democratic party' are used interchangeably.

The difference is merely in connotation.

It is very similiar to referring to the 'Obama regime' or the 'Obama administration.'

[Joe Republic]

The truth is that both terms 'Democrat party' and 'Democratic party' are used interchangeably.

Sure, but only among illiterate right-wingers.  The actual truth is that the term 'Democrat party' is not grammatically correct when describing the U.S. Democratic Party.  You can use it to describe the aforementioned Thai party, however.  A party in Romania as well, I believe.

I'm glad to have helped educate you!  It's always a pleasure to point out your errors, and it's lucky for me that the opportunity arises so often. 

[Хahar 🤔]

No, Democratic is the correct term for the Romanian party in English (though it is Democrat in Romanian).

Teabagger is the inappropriate name to call Tea Partiers as well. If you're calling out pejoratives......

First, I'll have to tell Mark at Pollster that he's being called an 'illiterate right=winger' for referring to the Democrat party.  He'll get a laugh out of that.

Second, the truth is that both terms are used interchangeably, as I previously pointed out. 

Third, your knowledge of 'grammar' is excretable.

Fourth, you believe a lot of things, which does not make your beliefs correct.

Oh, and I am not the one in error.
