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. 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.

He's President of the US. If you think someone is an enemy without a dispassionate reason, then I submit the problem isn't with that person, but within yourself.

Asked by mcanadiensfan63 - Wed Mar 25 22:28:21 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments Why is Congressman Ron Paul not popular with the Republican Party?
Q. Congressman Ron Paul is a Republican Congressman from Texas 14th Congressional District and was a candidate for the Republican Nomination for President of the United States of America in 2008 (that went to Arizona Senator John McCain). Paul is a congressional leader who does not support raising taxes, is not in favor of the Democrats plan for a government takeover of health care and he believes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should be eliminated. Paul also believes that the United States should not be in Iraq when many Republicans favor the presence of the United States being in Iraq. Although Paul shares many of the ideas of the Republican Party like tax cuts, reforming health care and being pro-life, Republicans are not fond of… [cont.] Asked by Mr. Knowledgeable VI - Mon Feb 1 21:31:02 2010 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ron Paul is more of a libertarian. He is for drastically small government. Some republicans in government don't want small government, they are part of government. Others agree with Paul, but know if Ron Paul's ideas hit the mainstream, the guy is unelectable. I'm saying this and I agree 100% with Ron Paul. But you aren't going to win an election by telling people you are not only going to gut the military (which got him a lot of support last election,) but you are going to gut social security, gut the departments of education, housing, human services, medicare, etc. All this didn't come to light last election. To a lot of anti-Bush people, he was the republican who was against the war.
