For many, GOP stands for:
Grand old Party
Gallant old Party
God's own Party
or even
Get out and Push
For other Republicans LIKE ME it's:
Government of the People
The latter description is most closely associated with the Republican philosophy that the people can best govern themselves.

Grand Old Party, of course.
They had to use this bcause they couldn't come up with an acronym for "The Most Awesome Political Party in the History of the World."

Wikkapedia says: stands for Grand Old Party, its simply short meaning for Republican Party.
