Irish Republican Army - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Though Republican history often claimed that the Rising and its leaders had public support, in reality there were widespread calls for the execution of the ringleaders, coming from the major Irish nationalist daily newspaper, the 'Irish Independent' and local authorities. The deposed elements, who took a hardline republican stance, and opposed Provisional Sinn Féin's decision to abandon abstentionism and enter Dáil Éireann, set up a rival party and military wing, called Republican Sinn Féin and Continuity IRA. The party's then-leader, Arthur Griffith, was campaigning for a dual monarchy with Britain, a return to the status quo of the so-called 'Constitution of 1782', forged in Grattan's Parliament. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /irish_republican_army.htm   (2443 words)

MSN Encarta - George H. W. Bush Despite his defeat, Bush was just the kind of business-oriented Republican from the increasingly important Sun Belt—the states in the South and Southwest—that the national leaders of the Republican Party wanted to promote. As a result, in 1990 Bush launched an effort to persuade Congress to bring the deficit under control, but found it difficult to build a consensus acceptable to both Democrats and to conservatives in the Republican Party. After 1977 Bush focused on his business interests and on organizing support for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 1980. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761571000/George_H_W_Bush.html   (84 words)

Polity IV Country Report 2003 Paraguay In February 2000 President Gonzalez's "National Unity Government" suffered a severe setback when the Liberal Party withdrew its support, claiming that the President's Colorado Party had refused to share power with its coalition partners. Despite this setback, the election of a Liberal Party candidate to the office of Vice President in August 2000, the first time in over 90 years that an opposition candidate has won a national election, demonstrates the growing power of opposition forces in this historically isolated Latin American country. With the reappearance of a Colorado majority in the National Assembly in 1998 the executive branch has sought to reassert its dominance and constrain the powers of the legislative branch. www.cidcm.umd.edu /inscr/polity/Par1.htm   (1151 words)

Remarks at the Republican National Convention Ours is the Republican Party of Bob Dole, another plain-speaking son of the American heartland, who persevered in the service of his Kansas neighbors to be Congressman, a Senator, our party's nominee for Vice President, minority and majority leader of the Senate. Ours is the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, whose persistence in building and maintaining American's military and industrial superiority finally persuaded the Communists they could never hope to defeat us, and thus ended the Cold War. Ours is the Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower, who reminded us that America is not good because she is great; but rather - America is great because she is good. www.ford.utexas.edu /library/speeches/960812.htm   (1609 words)

Washington and Lee Law Review: Judge Wisdom and the 1952 Republican National Convention: Ensuring victory for Eisenhower and a two-party system for Louisiana Tuttle's efforts so impressed the national Republican Party leaders that when John Wisdom asked Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in the winter of 1951, to recommend someone who had experience in a delegate challenge and who might be able to advise him in his nascent Eisenhower effort in Louisiana, Lodge immediately suggested Elbert Tuttle. Dewey, the titular leader of the party, was counted on to use his influence with the legion of Republicans that remained loyal to him. At the same time that John Wisdom was struggling to unseat John E. Jackson and rebuild Louisiana's Republican Party, another southern attorney, Elbert Parr Tuttle of Atlanta, was spearheading a movement to reform and broaden the base of the Republican Party organization in Georgia. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3655/is_199601/ai_n8756283   (1385 words)
