The Republican Party, commonly referred to as the GOP (abbreviation for Grand Old Party), is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, the other being its historic rival, the Democratic Party.
Founded by anti-slavery activists, modernists, ex-Whigs, and ex-Free Soilers in 1854, the Republicans dominated politics nationally and in the majority of northern States for most of the period between 1860 and 1932. There have been 18 Republican presidents, the first being Abraham Lincoln, who served from 1861 until his assassination in 1865, and the most recent being George W. Bush, who served from 2001 to 2009. The most recent Republican presidential nominee is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who lost in 2012 to Democratic incumbent Barack Obama.
Although it is named after republicanism, that concept is no longer widely used. Instead republican ideals have been incorporated into the concept of conservatism, which serves as the ideological core of the party. This conservatism contrasts with the modern liberalism of the Democrats. The Republican Party's conservatism involves support for free market capitalism, free enterprise, business, a strong national defense, deregulation, restrictions on labor unions, social-conservative policies (particularly opposition to abortion), and traditional values, usually with a Christian foundation. The party is deeply split on the issue of how to deal with illegal immigration.
Paul Davis Ryan (born January 29, 1970) is the 54th and current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Ryan is a member of the Republican Party, who has served as the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district since 1999. Ryan previously served as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, from January 3 to October 29, 2015, and, before that, as Chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2011 to 2015. He was the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States, running alongside Governor Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. Ryan, together with Democratic Senator Patty Murray, negotiated the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013.
On October 29, 2015, Ryan was elected to replace John Boehner as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and named John David Hoppe as his Chief of Staff. He is the first person from Wisconsin to hold this position.
Ryan was born in Janesville, Wisconsin, the youngest of four children of Elizabeth A. "Betty" (née Hutter) and Paul Murray Ryan, a lawyer. A fifth-generation Wisconsinite, his father was of Irish ancestry and his mother is of German and English ancestry. One of Ryan's paternal ancestors settled in Wisconsin prior to the Civil War. His great-grandfather, Patrick William Ryan (1858–1917), founded an earthmoving company in 1884, which later became P. W. Ryan and Sons and is now known as Ryan Incorporated Central. Ryan's grandfather, Stanley M. Ryan, was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin.

An Orange County, North Carolina GOP Republican Party Headquarters was firebombed in the town of Hillsborough. Apparently, after closing time at night, someone threw a molotov cocktail through a glass window and set the office ablaze. The structure itself was not burned to the ground, but inside of the office there was extensive smoke and heat damage. Yard signs of various local and national politicos, including Donald Trump and Mike Pence, were ruined. Equipment such as computers and supplies as small as ink pens were ruined from the intense heat that caused melting. Hillary Clinton and/or her campaign sent out a tweet condemning whoever did the attack. Donald Trump sent out a couple of tweets of support for anyone affected, and condemned the attack as one that came from the left and...

The Kelly File 10/10/16 | Huckabee: 'Bed-Wetting' GOP Afraid Trump Will Win, Not That He'll Lose Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, also a former presidential candidate, said the marked amount of Republicans disavowing endorsements or support of Donald Trump following the release of the vulgar 2005 video were not made for reasons the public might think. "A lot of these bed-wetting, hand-wringing Republicans--they're not afraid Donald Trump is going to lose: They're scared to death that Donald Trump is going to win," Huckabee said. Huckabee said Trump will "mess up the neat little package of fun they have and they all play to the donor class." "It's not a big surprise that he is crude and he is vulgar," Huckabee told Megyn Kelly, "we knew he was not a Sunday school teacher." "I'm waiti...

You want a house and a child but you don't want a man.
You'll live off the state as long as you can.
Claim you're equal with your feminist wit.
If you are you'd better act like it.
With a glass plate in your stomach,
everyone will look at you
The only woman in the world,
to have a womb with a view
Men are the evil, women are good.
You joined the CND just like you should.
Greenham Common the new Babylon.
Campaign all you want they'll still drop the bomb.
Burn your bra then whine for support.
Independence is a thing that can't be taught.
Live was busy for the little girl.
