GOP to drop resolution renaming Dems 'Socialist'

By BEN EVANS
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Party leaders are dropping a proposal aimed
at changing the name of the Democratic Party.

In a deal reached Wednesday, the GOP will not vote on a resolution asking
the Democrats to rename their party the "Democrat Socialist" party.

Two Republican National Committee members who had backed the measure say
that supporters have agreed to change the resolution's language to urge
Americans to oppose what the GOP is calling the Democrats' "socialist"
agenda.

GOP Chairman Michael Steele had opposed the name-changing resolution, and
other party leaders have called it "stupid" and "absurd."
