Why do conservatives use the term "Republic" so often?

Asked by pallen123 (1519points) January 12th, 2011

I hear Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh often using the term “Republic” when they’re talking about patriotism or risks to democracy. I rarely hear Democrats use the term. What is it about the word “Republic”?
