The Republican Party is the Grand Old Party. It's made enormous contributions to the success of our country. And it is a party that has embraced its leadership role when it has had the majority or the White House.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Republican Party is a composition of the members of the party and not just the leadership.
The Republican Party is in charge. They've been charge of the Congress and spending for 10 years.
I think the best thing that can happen to the Republican Party is that it is identified as a party organized around a set of principles, ideals and ideas for our future.
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.
I am a Republican because the United States is a republic, and the views we hold represent the foundation our country was built on so many years ago.
The largest party in America, by the way, is neither the Democrats nor the Republicans. It's the party of non-voters.
Republicans: steely, rational, paternalistic, respectful of authority, easy to herd, the party of No. Democrats: sugary, emotional, idealistic, yearning for novelty, hard to marshal, the party of Oh Yeah, Baby, Make Mama Feel Good.
Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Republican, and I want to support my party. I am a firm believer in the Republican principles of smaller government, low taxes and economic freedom. I have spent my time in government service fighting for these principles.
The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it's hardly a traditional political party anymore.
In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.
