U.S. Republican Party | ORGANIZATION

 

The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. It is often called the Grand Old Party or the GOP. Founded in Jackson, Michigan, in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party quickly surpassed the Whig Party as the principal opposition to the Democratic Party. It first came to power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency and presided over the American Civil War and Reconstruction. Today, the party supports a conservative and/or center-right platform, with further foundations in supply-side fiscal policies and social conservatism.

"If we don't act, this is just a preview of coming attractions: Premiums will continue to rise for folks with insurance, millions more will lose their coverage altogether, our deficits will continue to grow larger ... we have an..."


Michelle Obama Feb 09 2010 11:58 PM from CNN

"Is that who this president wants to be arm in arm with as we enter a pivotal election year? ... The president has enough to worry about and defend without this detracting sideshow as to feckless party leadership."


Douglas Wilder Feb 09 2010 11:54 PM from Minneapolis Star Tribune

"I'm just disappointed in his leadership ... And there are a lot of people — a lot of Democrats — who come to me and are disappointed but are not going to speak out like I'm saying it."


Douglas Wilder Feb 09 2010 11:54 PM from Minneapolis Star Tribune

"A drastic change in policy is needed ... Our problem now is that we have to wonder whether we can trust [Brennan] after he has been a mouthpiece for the political arm that I thought only came out of the White House press office."


Christopher Bond Feb 09 2010 11:53 PM from The Moderate Voice

"Don't let yourself believe that Massachusetts and Virginia and New Jersey were some aberration"


Douglas Wilder Feb 09 2010 11:51 PM from Miami Herald

Rick Lazio Feb 09 2010 11:47 PM from San Diego Union-Tribune

"It seems to be somewhat orchestrated"


David A Paterson Feb 09 2010 11:47 PM from San Diego Union-Tribune
