The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. Founded by anti-slavery expansion activists in 1854, it is often called the Grand Old Party or the GOP, despite being the younger of the two major parties. The party's platform is generally considered right of center in the U.S. political spectrum.

The Republican Party has the second most registered voters as of 2004 with 55 million, encompassing roughly one-third of the electorate. Polls over the last two years have found that 20% to 34% of Americans self-identify as Republicans.

There have been eighteen Republican Presidents, compared to fifteen Democrats. Republicans currently fill a minority of seats in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, hold a minority of state governorships, and control a minority of state legislatures.

Is the Republican party dead now since Democrats now overwelmingly control the government?
Q. Obama along with the other Democrats that ran today have taken control over the whole government leaving no checks and balances anymore. With the change of demographics and make up with the country, which will now dramatically change under Obama's new immigration politcy to bring in more third world unskilled immigrants over, is the Republican Party now dead and finished, thus begins an era of the United States with a one party system?

Is the Republican Party Over?
Q. New polls by the Pew Research Center show the number of Americans who identify themselves with the Republican Party is down to 22% - about as low as a party can go in a two-party system. The Republican leaders - the double standard, hypocritical old men: Limbough, Cheney, and Gingrich don't seem to be helping much either. I mean, seriously, does the GOP really want Cheney representing them so vocally at this point? The neocon sympathizer became the most unpopular vice-president since Spiro Agnew in the Nixonian era of political corruption. And is Gingrich (the man who was reprimanded by the House and had to pay a $300,000 penalty for improperly using tax-deductible money for partisan political gain and for submitting false information… [cont.]

What are the fundamental values of a republican?
Q. I asked a question here today about being liberal, but before I asked, I looked up liberalism online, and it was easy to find a description of it. After reading the reactions and answers to that question, it seems that republicans really hate liberals and feel that the description of liberal I found was wrong. If those republicans would do some reading before answering, they would see it is not wrong and liberalism is what it is, with small differences, but fundamentally the same. Republicans seem to confuse a liberal with a socialist So I wanted to compare liberalism with republicanism but I can't seem to find a good description for republicanism What I did find was this; Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a… [cont.]

A. The sick and infirm neo-con Party uses the billions of dollars saved by not providing health care to eliminate and kill people around the world who don't see things their way. How much more depravity is the Republican Party capable of? The GOP hits a new low when it denies people the medical attention they require. The GOP goes even lower when they fund depleted uranium, phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs, shock and awe, etc., over child inoculations, pre-natal care, dialysis, PTSD, etc. This is the Republican Party that shoves its Lord and Savior, Jesus, down everyone's throats the way it shoves tubes down hunger strikers in GTMO. Given the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has a hot place reserved for Republicans. If there was a reason Hell… [cont.]
