Answer 1

Current Composition
The Republican Party (often referred to as the GOP, for "Grand Old Party") is one of the two major political organizations in the United States' two party system; its great rival is the Democratic Party.

In addition to controlling the Executive Branch since 2001, the Republican Party has held majorities in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives since 1995 except for 19 months in the Senate in 2001-2.[2] Republicans currently hold 28 governorships and have majorities in both houses of 20 state legislatures compared to the Democratic Party's 19.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is responsible for promoting presidential goals when the party controls the White House or articulating Republican policies when the Democrats have the White House. The chairman of the RNC is chosen by the President when the Republicans have the White House or otherwise by the state committees. President Bush selected Ken Mehlman as the chairman of the Republican National Committee in January 2005. In presidential elections, the committee, under the direction of the presidential candidate, supervises the national convention, raises funds, and coordinates campaign strategy. There are similar state committees in every state and most large cities, counties, and legislative districts, but they have far less money and influence than the national body.

The Republican House and Senate have powerful fundraising and strategy committees. The National Republican Congressional Committee assists in House races, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee in Senate races. They each raise over $100 million per election cycle, and play important roles in recruiting strong state candidates. The Republican Governors Association is a discussion group that seldom funds state races. In each instance the Democrats have similar organizations. As of the beginning of September 2006, the Republican National Committee had raised $176 million for the 2006 cycle, with $39 million on hand. The National Republican Congressional Committee had raised $124 million, with $36 million on hand; the National Republican Senatorial Committee had raised $69 million, with $19 million on hand. In total, the three GOP committees had raised $369 million, compared to $264 for their Democratic counterparts.[3]

The Republican Party is comprised of many informal factions, which often overlap. For example, there are Fiscal Conservatives, Social Conservatives, Neoconservatives, Paleoconservatives, Libertarians, Moderates, Republican In Name Only, Log Cabin Republicans.


Current Ideology
The Republican Party is the more socially conservative and economically libertarian of the two major parties, and has closer ties to both Wall Street (large corporations) and Main Street (locally owned businesses) than do the Democrats. Republicans have a strong belief in personal responsibility, limited government, and corporate entrepreneurship. 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."[4]. Since 1980 the GOP has contained what George Will calls "unresolved tensions between, two flavors of conservatism -- Western and Southern." The Western brand, says Will, "is largely libertarian, holding that pruning big government will allow civil society -- and virtues nourished by it and by the responsibilities of freedom -- to flourish." The Southern variety, however, reflects a religiosity based in evangelical and fundamentalist churches that is less concerned with economics and more with moralistic issues, such as abortion and homosexuality.[5]
