 Encyclopedia: GOP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Republican Party (often GOP for Grand Old Party) is one of the two major political parties in the United States.
The President of the United States, George W. Bush, is a member of the party – and its leader – and it currently has majorities in the Senate and the House, as well as in governorships and state legislative seats.
Organized in Ripon, Wisconsin on February 28, 1854, as a party opposed to the expansion of slavery into new territories, it is not to be confused with the Democratic-Republican party of Thomas Jefferson or the National Republican Party of Henry Clay.

 Evil GOP Bastards
The GOP's demagoguery on abortion has given them a huge electoral payoff among the religious right with the expenditure of virtually no political capital.
However, Republican devotion to the interests of children can't be considered more than shameless pandering since their concern for child welfare ends at the moment of birth.
This is waaaaay beyond normal political hardball, but one wouldn't be able to recognize that by the timid response by the Democrats, who seem paralyzed by the brazenness of GOP corruption and blind to the enormity of the danger to our democracy.

The number of registered Republican voters in Massachusetts has dropped by roughly 15,000 since Governor Mitt Romney won election in fall 2002, despite his efforts to rebuild the GOP in the heavily Democratic Bay State, figures released yesterday show.
The GOP's enrollment stands at its lowest point since February 2000, the figures show, presenting Romney with a stiff challenge as he attempts to seat more Republicans in the Legislature this November.
Unenrolled voters were largely responsible for electing Romney in 2002, and the governor has targeted his campaign since then on what he calls a reform agenda aimed at independent and swing voters.

In addition, the poll provides ample documentation of the “Indycrat” phenomenom I wrote about last week—that is, the close alignment of independents’ and Democrats’ views and the great distance of both from the views of GOP identifiers.
For an insightful discussion about the GOP's 'wicked genius' for evasive action, see Christopher Hayes' "No Right Turn ; If Americans haven't gotten more conservative, why is the GOP in charge?" in the current issue of the Washington Monthly.
