A member of the Republican Party of the United States, usually classifiable as fiscal conservative and/or social conservative. Fiscal conservatives want to lower taxes, eliminate wasteful spending, balance the budget, obey the Constitution, make government less involved in people's daily lives, leave public services to state and local governments, and trust the laws of supply and demand to ensure a fair economy. Social conservatives want to scrap the Constitution and plunge the United States even further into debt to enforce a fundamentalist Christian police state where propaganda and pseudoscience like Intelligent Design take precedence over historical and scientific fact in schools. Generally speaking, the former category consists of relatively sane, intelligent people, whereas the latter category is a bunch of stupid fuckwits.
Republicans like Kent Hovind, Pat Robertson, and George W Bush give Republicans like Ron Paul and Jeffrey Flake a bad name.

One who works for what they have. A member of society who understands that nothing is free, and that if you work for something, and earn it, it should be yours; while democrats believe that we should give everything we have to those who are too worthless to do anything for themselves. Republicans believe that there are good countries out there (UK), confused countries (Fr.), and there are coutries ruled by megalomaniac dictators, whose regions of the world are criminally infested hell-holes, in the middle of the desert. Republicans understand that 1% of the world population has food, because they went to college, and got jobs, and worked to earn money, instead of shitting bunches of children in some third world country, and is too ass backwards to figure out that he needs to work. A republican is someone who is morally sound, and believes in life; adversly, democrats believe that they can do whatever they want, and that no one can make them do anything but their own selfish agenda.
Wow, Reagan was a good president... and so was Eisenhower. Hmm...Economic prosperity, the good ol' days. Too bad the current recession OFFICIALLY started in the last year of Clinton's presidency, after the failing of dot.com stocks, instead of the propagandated bullshit about it being Bushes fault (although we all remember it was bad well before the attempted stealing of the election by Gore / Jewerman)

One of the two major political powers in the United States today. Although they are all people with beliefs, families, and values, they are often critisized due to the vocal few of their party. In truth, there are just as many bad democrats as there are republicans.

1. Those who defend the constituion with honor and bravery. Those who think punishment of criminals need to be harsher, and children need to be saved. Those who hate war but see that the only way through peace is throught SUPERIOR FIREPOWER.
2. Those who give everything and get muckraked by fuckheads. (see democrat)

1. Not all Republicans are filthy rich
2. Not all Republicans are Christian
3. Not all Republicans hate paying taxes
Here's my small view of Republican vs. Democratic ideas:

Here's my small view of Republican vs. Democratic ideas:
Julie is coming back from college on her first break and his having a conversation with her dad, a strong Republican:
Julie - Hey dad, ever since college I've been really growing Liberal ideas, and I truly support the Democratic platform now. Really, it's only fair that the rich pay more, and I think they should simply because they can.
Dad - Hm. Interesting Julie. Hey, by the way, how's your friend Amy doing?
Julie - Amy, well... she's doing alright I guess.
Dad - And how are you doing?
Julie - I'm doing excellent Dad!
Dad - How so?
Julie (proudly)- I have a 3.8 GPA and I'm acing my biology courses!
Dad - Julie, I'm extremely proud of you, and you know that. But, what about Amy?
Julie - Well, umm, Amy has a 1.9. Well I guess I don't feel all that bad for her, I mean she's happy. She parties all the time, she has a boyfriend, and she really doesn't care about college all that much. Grades don't seem to be on the top of her priority list.
Dad - Hm, that's sad. How about this! Why don't you go down to the dean's office and have a discussion, and see if you can transfer some of your GPA points over to Amy so you both get a 3.0! I mean, that's still great for your first year in college. You'll both be happy!
Julie - What?! No way! I worked my butt off for those grades. Last week I was up until 2 am every night studying for my finals. I nearly aced all of them. Julie went to three parties and came back to the room drunk every night.
Dad - So?
Julie - That would be unfair - I could'nt do that! They're my grades and I'm extremely proud of them. Julie deserved to fail her finals. That would simply be unfair. I deserve my grades.
Dad (pats her on the back) - Welcome to the Republican Party dear!

A group that supports a Republic government. Contrary to poplular belief, America is a Republic, not a Democracy. Republicans are not racist, just because they don't hate white males doesn't mean that's the only thing they care about. They're not all rich either. Most are working middle class who have to work to pay taxes unlike lazy Democrats on welfare who won't find a job.

I think it's almost hilarious that there are so many Democrat postings on a term that Democrats hate. First of all, not all Republicans are white. I am an Asian Republican in this fine country, and I don't believe that all people should starve/not have medicare/be forced to have children/etc. I believe in helping the poor: it's called charity. I also believe in taking care of yourself: it's called getting a good education and not footsing away your youth. Go out there and make something of yourself. Not all Republicans are trying to push others down. Not all Republicans are racist or white: I am clearly not Caucasian, but I am one of the strongest supporters of the GOP. It is unfortunate that we cannot exercise our beliefs. Why must the danky liberals attack our beliefs?
Republicans appreciate the third-party system of Democrats v. Republicans because it keeps America alive and unique. Republicans are more charitable and more kind than Democrats, who waste away 80% of their time trying to attack Republicans rather than defend their own political party.
