Gentlemen -

My only purpose was to kindly ask one of the Tea Party to address the Affordable Care Act by it's proper name instead of it's rather derogatory name. It is the same respect I now give to the Tea Party. Thank you.

OBAMACARE~
Apparently abc news has used the term at least once...

Looks like cbs news has a whole list of articles about it....

After reading the replies from the Tea Party people, it seems their want of respect for their party title is a one way street. They want the correct name for their party but are unwilling to give the Affordable Care Act its correct name.

The sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

To be honest, I don't find "Obamacare" to be insulting. There are aspects of it I liked (like the fact that I can cover my daughter for 2 more years) and aspects I don't (namely, 'the mandate').

It's an abbreviation. It's not like the other epithet from the Tea Party which had a previous meaning with a sexual connotation.

Even the democrats call it Obamacare. What is the big deal? They had to pass it to find out what was in it. Unbelievable.

buggyone: In the manner in which it was conceived and passed and in the manner of it contents there is not one shred of respectability for or in this law. I will however, in respect to you just this once refer to it as the "Affordable Care Act." Hit them straight

I believe that you are referring to KatzPajamas, whom has never found issue with any name that is used for supporters of the Tea Party on this forum.

By the way, the term Tea ******* doesn't offend this Tea Partier. When someone uses the term, it just alerts me to the fact that they don't know $#!+.

In fact, here is what KatzPajamas DID say about names used for Tea Partiers.
