	Welcome to The American Presidency
		In the 1854 congressional elections 44 Republicans were elected as a part of the anti-Nebraskan majority in the House of Representatives, and several Republicans were elected to the Senate and to various state houses.
		Republicans won control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 1918 elections and, at the end of the war, prevented the United States from joining the League of Nations by rejecting ratification of the Treaty of Versailles (see Paris Peace Conference).
		In the congressional elections of 2000 the Republicans held on to a slender majority in the House; in the Senate each party held 50 seats, leaving the tie-breaking vote in the hands of the new Republican vice-president.

	Republicans for Dean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This is the extent to which Bush has reshaped the Republican Party from a party of mainstream churches into a 2000 electoral coalition unprecedentedly grouped around and influenced by Southern evangelical and fundamentalist voters and their wackier leaders." Note the term "wackier," because this is exactly where Bush has chosen to cast his lot.
		They have held sway in the Republican party for some years but are currently on the wane, having overplayed their hand with the Rockefeller wing.
		I must say that as a Moderate Republican, I too agree that the Tax Cuts should be delayed or repealed altogether, and a nice return would be a sane Health Care policy, as the one outlined by Dr. Dean.

		But the Republican threat to neuter long-cherished filibuster rules by steamrolling Democrats is risky — so potentially destructive that Capitol Hill calls it the "nuclear option." Democratic retaliation would be swift and long-lasting, raising the prospect of escalating clashes in a body that prides itself on gentility and cool judgment.
		Republicans said they think that voters would turn against Democrats as obstructionist, but those concerned with the breakdown of comity in Congress are watching the unfolding drama with trepidation.
		It's too early to tell whether Republicans are trotting out the nuclear option as a bargaining tactic, perhaps to persuade Democrats to release several nominees from their filibuster.

	Bush I vs. Bush II - Salon
		Bush is still beloved by the Republican rank and file, the people who participate in voter drives and turn out on Election Day.
		Yet plenty of Republicans don't recognize their ideology in Bush's lavish deficit spending and the grandiose, world-transforming neoconservative foreign policy he's adopted.
		Republicans, after all, are traditionally averse both to nation building and to the whole idea of humanitarian intervention.

	The GOP needs some Paine - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Though some progress has been made in recent years to rebuild the local party apparatus, Republicans in the City of Pittsburgh scratch and scratch at the lid of the coffin of one-party purgatory but can't rise from their repose.
		Republican prospects for gaining elected office in the city may be the worst they've been here in decades.
		As part of the deal, Republicans mocked republican (small "r") government by legislatively neutering a provision of the Pennsylvania Constitution that prohibits lawmakers from receiving the pay raise in the current session.

	Democrats Put Themselves on the Road to the White House in 1910 by Andrew E. Busch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The GOP seemed solidly in control of Congress, and the Republican Speaker of the House, "Uncle Joe" Cannon, ran the House of Representatives with an iron fist.
		His attempts to have them defeated in the party primaries of 1910 were mostly unsuccessful; instead, a slew of old guard incumbents went down to defeat.
		Only a handful of congressional Republicans from progressive strongholds lost, while heavy losses were suffered by the GOP contingent from states where the old guard had been particularly strong.

	George D. Aiken Full Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In a 1938 Lincoln Day Address, he castigated "old guard" Republicans who were too wedded to corporate and monied interests, and though this increased his popularity generally, it made enemies of nation and Vermont party regulars who hoped to block an Aiken third term candidacy.
		Aiken was a loyal Republican in all of the years he served in the senate, but he was a maverick within his party.
		Though opposed to the Taft Hartley Act (1947), for instance, he voted for it and for the subsequent override of the President'' veto because it was a Republican initiative.

		Guilford co., N.C. A lawyer in Illinois, Cannon served as a Republican in Congress from 1873 to 1923, except for the years 1891-93 and 1913-15, when first the Populists and then the Progressives were able to defeat him.
		As speaker he carried the traditional power of his office to appoint all legislative committees to its ultimate arbitrary extremes, dictatorially ruling the House in the interest of his fellow "Old Guard" Republicans and suppressing minority groups.
		In Mar., 1910, insurgent Republicans, led by George W. Norris and supported by all the Democrats, passed a resolution that, by providing that the House itself should appoint the important Committee on Rules with the speaker ineligible for membership, broke Cannon's power.

		Williams, a social and religious conservative from Verona, stunned old-guard Republicans when he arrived on the scene eight years ago and defeated Democratic incumbent Bill McBee for a seat in the state House of Representatives by 47 votes.
		Many political observers, including some moderate Republicans, say that Williams will have to bring together the party's social and economic conservatives if he stands a chance of beating Lucas, the Boone County judge-executive, whose long career in Northern Kentucky civic life has reflected the region's emphasis on economic development.
		''I believe this element of the party is outworking the old guard,'' said Murphy, former chairman of the Republican Party in Kenton County.

		Although the Republican party regained control of the presidency during the 1920s, complex changes in political alignments were wrought by the Great Depression of the 1930s.
		Under Reagan's leadership, conservative Republicans were firmly in control of their party in the 1980s, and the Republicans held a majority in the U.S. Senate from 1981 through 1986, when the Democrats regained control (they had maintained their majority in the House since the midterm election of 1954).
		Republicans, who expected to widen their majorities in both the House and the Senate in 1998, squandered numerous advantages in the months leading up to the election.

		The outspoken remarks from Brent Scowcroft, who advised a string of Republican presidents, including Mr Bush's father, represented an embarrassment for the administration on a day it was attempting to rally British public support for an eventual war.
		Mr Scowcroft is the elder statesman of the Republican foreign policy establishment, and his views are widely regarded as reflecting those of the first President Bush.

		Indeed, they tend to be more opposed to abortion and gay marriage than the general populace (but at least, there is no evidence yet that they oppose the teaching of evolution).
