"I know you are, but what am I?" This playground epithet has been thrown out for years between little elementary schoolers all the way up to the President of the United States.  Has the old disparaging phrase, "the comeback", really ever worked? Probably not, but it sure aggravates the other guy anyway.  LOL!

Bush spoke of the "Democrat majority" in his 2007 State of the Union Address. Democrats complained about the use of "Democrat" as an adjective in the address. "Like nails on a chalkboard," complained Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta.

Bush later remarked about the issue by talking about his leadership of the GOP party the following month. On February 4, 2007, Bush joked in a speech to House Democrats, stating "Now look, my diction isn't all that good. I have been accused of occasionally mangling the English language. And so I appreciate you inviting the head of the Republic Party."

I only wish during this current election season the vicious political word rhetoric was as tame as that Battle on Words about a political name.  I feel though the War of 2012 has has only begun in earnest and will not stop until the winner is declared in the end.

 So be it ...Let the Battles begin!

We'll see who wins the War!
