WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 24: Senate Finance Committee member Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) listens to debate during a mark up session on the health care reform legislation on Capitol Hill September 24, 2009 in Washington, DC. Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) has been working closely with a handful of Republican and Democratic senators to reach a compromise in the legislation but has yet to reach a bill that the opposing sides can agree on.
The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. It is often called the Grand Old Party or the GOP. Founded in Jackson, Michigan, in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party quickly surpassed the Whig Party as the principal opposition to the Democratic Party. It first came to power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency and presided over the American Civil War and Reconstruction. Today, the party supports a conservative and/or center-right platform, with further foundations in supply-side fiscal policies and social conservatism.
