Most of you have it wrong.
Republicans and Democrats first apeeared (or at least as I know of) during the American Civil War, when Democrats were anti-Abolitionists (wanted slavery) and Republicans were Abolitionists (didn't want slavery). Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Since those times, Democratic and Republican qualities almost switched.
Reference: The June 1832 Riots.
Now for some of the more modern content you probably came here for:
~It's not that we're against freedom of religion, it's just that Christianity is the most common religion of the Republicans.
~The reason we want healthcare cuts is that, prepare yourself, THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS MONEY! I admit, not the best place in the world to cut money from, but there you have it.
~We are against abortion because it's cruel and inhumane. Now, if we're in the case of a pregnant rape victim, there's always adoption! We don't need to kill the baby! If we're in the case of a tubal pregnancy, then it would be reasonable, since it would kill both the mother and child if carried to term.
~We think that countries should be able to take care of themselves without the use of foreign aid. But we know that isn't possible at this point in time.
I hope this definition has helped you learn that Republicans aren't your enemy.

1. A right wing, usually conservative, in the context of politics. They are often perceived as against many things such as Gay Marriage, affordable health care, and the rights of women. They are typically Christian, and tend to think that this religion should be exempt from the separation of church and state, while accusing people they disagree with of being 'secret Muslims', by which they mean 'terrorist'. These claims are often, if not always, unsubstantiated.
When trying to back up said claims, they often resort to strange and unusual tactics, such as strange pictures that have no real relevance to the subject.
The typical age of a republican is around 50, but the age the typical representative of the party looks is dating somewhere in the mesozoic era, while they are actual not much older than the average. See Dick Cheney.
Republicans shine in times of war, and during these times can often be effective leaders. Having realized this, recent leaders of the party have tried to start wars, some justified, others not so much.
The republicans are blocking all motions in the senate again. Guess they don't agree with the Democrats, or 'terrorists'

someone who thinks that they deserve all the respect they want because they're trapped in "the good ol' days" where anyone who is different than them doesn't deserve any respect.
"wow that guy is a douche"
"must be a republican"

A supporter or member of the United States political party that believes states and not national government should hold the majority of the political power.
As an independent, I am apalled at all the insults going in both directions. The only conclusion I can make is that Republicans blow and Democrats suck.

sad people who waste their time looking at all definitions of democrat and thumbs down everything that doesn't insult them and sounds intelligent.
Those republicans try to demoralize pacifists by saying they dont love their country, therefore scaring people into supporting war

One of the two major political parties of the United States, along with Democrats
Tend to be Conservatives, although some are Liberals
Usually believe in a limited government, stick to christian morals, and believe that people should be responsible for themselves.
Lost the executive office and control of congress in 2008.
I'm a republican and supported John McCain but frankly don't care about abortion or gay marriage. Not all republicans are extreme right wing Nazis and support racism. America is the greatest country, period. I just wanted to show that not all Republicans are a Cheney or a Bush, and even though our new president is a Democrat, he has my full support, even if I don't agree with everything he says or does.
