  Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Republican Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Ohio was the eagle, as opposed to the Democratic rooster.
Organized in Ripon, Wisconsin on February 28, 1854, as a party opposed to the expansion of slavery into new territories, the Party is not to be confused with the Democratic-Republican party of Thomas Jefferson or the National Republican Party of Henry Clay.
The party controlled the presidency throughout the 1920s, running on a platform of isolationism and "laissez-faire" economics, although economic isolationism (tariffs, etc.) and laissez-faire economics are mutually exclusive.

Then there was Kerry again on CNN Wednesday morning, criticizing not only the administration's post-war planning, but also raising questions about the administration's handling of intelligence, particularly the claim that Hussein was seeking the material for nuclear weapons in Africa.
Many grass-roots Democrats were questioning the administration's assertions about the threat posed by Iraq long before the White House acknowledged last week that it should not have included the Iraq nuclear assertion in the president's State of the Union speech.
War opponents questioned the administration's claims about Hussein's links to al Qaeda, Iraq's ability to launch a quick strike against U.S. allies in the region and the Iraqi government's alleged attempts to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes to be used as centrifuges for enrich uranium.

Without addressing the basic political and economic issues posed squarely by the progressive parties, the president intimated that she could use the negotiations with the National Democratic Front in order to release some political prisoners and push the peace process forward.
She unleashed Norberto Gonzales on the progressive parties with a threat to disqualify the latter on false charges of funneling public funds to the New People’s Army (NPA) and of being fronts of the Communist Party.
Contrary to her grudging commitment to rein in the military against further attacking the progressive parties so that the latter could participate in the elections, she lifted no finger to check what was proving to be a systematic and continuing pattern of killings against Bayan Muna and the others.

Zinni was simply reiterating what had been the policy of the first Bush administration and that prior to the attack on Saddam had been repeated not only by former members of the elder Bush's cabinet such as Secretary of State James Baker, and National Security Advisor Brent Snowcroft, but by the elder Bush himself.
As former CIA agents Bill and Kathy Christison summed it, up “the Bush administration… is peppered with people who have long records of activism on behalf of Israel in the United States, of policy advocacy in Israel, and of promoting an agenda for Israel often at odds with existing U.S. policy.
Virtually all independent experts and even senior administration officials have concluded since the war that ties between Iraq and al-Qaeda before the war were virtually non-existent, and even Bush himself has explicitly dismissed the notion that Baghdad had a hand in the 9/11 attacks.

Historians will mark the administration of George W. Bush as the point at which the so-called social issues, long a galvanizing feature of American partisan politics, finally lost their sting.
The real question is whether the Bush administration and the Republican Party more broadly will continue to contest these issues or simply let them go.
You can tell how true that is from the acute embarrassment felt within the party whenever one of its members breaches this understanding, as Sen. Rick Santorum did earlier this year.
