It's a play on the last syllable resembling "rat", popularized by Rush Limbaugh's radio show.

I do remember hearing "Republican'ts" and "rethuglicans" from dems but in my experience it's extremely rare.

I doubt anybody uses "democrat party" for reasons related to the demon-rat moniker.

It seems to be more about disputing that the party is in fact democratic. Among other things, the superdelegates make this clear. It's also the matter of the party making a name-grab for democracy itself, which is a more valuable trademark than anything associated with the republic.

Yes, I'm sure the pejorative use by Republicans of the term that Democrats use to refer to themselves is rooted in Republicans' sincere concern with the structure of the DNC's primary. That must be it.
