UNBIASED definition of republican
The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. It is often referred to as the Grand Old Party or the GOP. Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party quickly surpassed the Whig Party as the principal opposition to the Democratic Party. In 1860, it came to power with the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. The party presided over the American Civil War and Reconstruction and was harried by internal factions and scandals toward the end of the 19th century. Today, the party supports a conservative platform (from an American political perspective), with further foundations in supply-side fiscal policies, and social conservatism.
The Republican Party is currently the second largest party with 55 million registered members, encompassing roughly one-third of the electorate.1 The current U.S. President, George W. Bush, is the 19th Republican to hold that office. Republicans currently fill a minority of seats in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, hold a minority of state governorships, and control a minority of state legislatures.

Get the Republitard mug.Related Words
Everyone who has described republicans in their definitions are a bunch of tards. The most of you are describing the GOP, a political ideology that is in no way a form of republicanism. True republicans like Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln advocated states rights and the freedom of one's self over the inequalities of federalism and it's left wing control over a strict interpretation of the constitution. Republicans today exemplify only the ideals of the GOP because they do not understand the fundamental difference between the two. It was the republican party that fought against slavery and took on the progressive era with new laws that protected the consumer from falling victim to the free market.
Republicans would be republican if it weren't for the likes of Richard Nixon and the Bushes. Now we got a bunch of Goober Oligarchical Pussies (GOP) that advocates the destruction of rights for the entrenchment of security. Fuck them.
