Republican Policy

 

Internationally the party has recently supported neoconservative policies, especially the War on Terror, the military effort in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and strong support for democracy, especially in the Middle East.

 

The party has been criticized by its paleoconservatives as being too globalistic. The Republican Party has demanded reforms in the UN and opposes the Kyoto Protocol because of the Protocol's uneven application to countries around the world, because they believe it is likely to slow economic growth and the reduction of poverty, and because of disputes concerning the science behind it.

 

Republicans usually feel there is not credible evidence that global warming is a serious threat capable of being mitigated by international action. The GOP supports free trade, including notably NAFTA and CAFTA.

REPUBLICAN PARTY:

 

The Republican Party (often referred to as the GOP, for "Grand Old Party") is one of the two major political parties in the United States' two-party system, along with the Democratic Party.

 

The Republican Party was established in 1854 by a coalition of former Whigs, Northern Democrats, and Free-Soilers who opposed the expansion of slavery and held a vision for modernizing the United States. The party initially had its base in the Northeast and Midwest, but in recent decades that has shifted to the inland West, and especially the South. In the modern political era, the Republican Party has been the more socially conservative and economically libertarian of the two major parties.

 

The current President of the U.S., George W. Bush, is the party leader; he chose Ken Mehlman as the chairman of the Republican National Committee in January 2005. Since 2002, the Republicans have controlled the Congress with majorities in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. Their symbol is the elephant.

 

Eighteen of the twenty-nine U.S. Presidents elected since its founding have been Republicans, including current U.S. President George W. Bush.

Republican History

Historically, Republicans have had a strong belief in individualism, smaller government, and business entrepreneurship.

 

In broad terms, Republicans believe the private sector is better suited than the bureaucratic government as the trust of a nation's direction and purpose.

 

In his 1981 Inaugural Address, Republican President Ronald Reagan summed up his belief in limited government when he said, "In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
