A republican is the member of the Republican Party, the historic rival of the Democrat Party. The Republican and Democrat party are the two main parties in the United States. The Republican party was founded in 1854 by the name GOP (Grand Old Party) by opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The platform of the Republican Party of the United States is generally based on American conservatism, in contrast to the modern liberalism of the Democrats. The party consists of moderates, sometimes described as establishment Republicans, and members of the Tea Party or Freedom Caucus, who have been described as populist, right-wing, and far-right. The party also incorporates several other factions, such as Libertarian Republicans, who advocate libertarian policies.
The positions of the Republican Party have evolved over time. Contemporarily, the party's economic conservatism involves support for lower taxes, free market capitalism, deregulation of corporations, and restrictions on labor unions. The party is also socially conservative, and support gun rights, and other traditional values, often with a Christian foundation, including restrictions on abortion. In foreign policy, Republicans usually favor increased military spending, unilateral action, and anti-Communist revolutions, especially during the 1980s and 1990s. Other Republican beliefs include restrictions on immigration, opposition to drug legalization, and support for school choice.

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 am a Republican and have to live in a world full of hypocrytical Democrats.

More respectable than Democrats, a true Republican believes in fiscal responsibility and minimal government regulation in the economy. However, like the Democrats, they demonstrate their hypocrisy by the belief that government should regulate your personal life.
Not all Republicans are morons like Bush.
I admire Republicans like Senator McCain and Senator Lugar for their common-sense values and beliefs

A member of the Republican Party (USA)who is (pretty much always) socially conservative, generally free-market and person who opposes the Democratic party's agenda. Unfortuantely, some Democrats people have a blind hatred of Republicans, and vice versa.
"I think I'm going to become a Republican."

A person who likes to keep his or her own money, rather than giving it to people who waste it, as they claim to be putting it to good use. Also, people who have moral fiber trying to help others see what is immoral and aid them in becoming moral. A political party who wants things to be fair to everyone, not fair to only the lower class but fair to all. A party that promotes business because business is what makes the world run. A political party that isnt even close to perfect, but is leaps and bounds above the leading competitor (democrats)
Due to my republican views, i hate all other entries in this string.

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.

A person that believes that people are responsible for their own well-being. A person that believes that they are entitled to their own property. A person that believes that someone being poor is sad, but not responsible for it. A person that believes humans as a whole should look after themselves and mind their own business instead of "everybody being everyone's friend and sharing because it's the 'right' thing to give away something that you worked hard for."
A man drops out of high school because he thought it would be a better idea to persue his drug addiction. Five years later, he is now homeless.
Democrat Response: "Oh what a poor guy. We should take money from hard-working individuals so he can have a better life."
Republican Response: "Oh well. You should have thought about it."
