Just DAYS after the Left had apoplectic fits over George Bush leaving the "-ic" off when referring to the Democrat Party, they local branch of that party proves his point (though he spinelessly denies it, and claims it was a honest mistake - oh well, my opinion of Mr. Bush is not glowing).

As Stefan Sharkansky noted over at Sound Politics noted yesterday:

The Senate Government Operations & Elections Committee holds a "public hearing" at 1:30pm today on several bills designed to cripple the people's Constitutional right to initiative:

SB 5181 - Requiring signature gatherers to wear identification.
SB 5182 - Requiring signature gatherers to sign initiative and referendum petitions.
SB 5356 - Prohibiting payment of petition signature gatherers on a per-signature basis.
SB 5392 - Increasing the initiative filing fee.
SB 5418 - Requiring ballot titles to indicate tax consequences of the ballot measure.
SJR 8205 - Relating to the constitutional provisions regarding initiatives and referendums.

Most members of the public whose rights these bills aim to vaporize are too busy working to attend the hearing. But Tim Eyman, whom the anti-citizen coup-plotters in the permanent government love to hate, will be there. Watch live on TVW.

Thus proving that there is little, if anything "Democratic" about the party that calls itself "Democrat", any more than the "Democratic Peoples Republic Of Korea" deserves appellation of Democratic OR Republic. But isn't it funny that the farther left, and intolerant of dissent a movement goes, the more it tries to garb itself in the name "Democratic", to try to hide their true intent?
