GOP = Grand Old Party.
& they're pretty much what mojo said. + they are conservative (as u might have inferenced) & tend to get intertwined with religion quite a bit. (like most conservative right wing parties)

Thats cute, with that same stroke would you be willing to say that the Dems aren't? Republicans appeal to votes to rich white old folks, Dems do it to poor minorities, it's all about getting the votes.

LOL, you punk! I almost got kicked out of the computer center I am at for bursting out laughing! I'm sure this will eventually spark a flame war though so I need to go and prepare my munitions. In the mean time, that reminds me of an episode of The Family Guy in which Peter hijacks a circus parade and brings it into his back yard for his son Stewie's birthday. I'm sure not a lot of republicans liked this show because it took pot shots at them all the time, but one of the funniest moments in TV history for me was when Peter comes riding in on the back of an elephant and yells, "Look Lois! It's the two symbols of the republican party! An elephant and a big, fat, white guy who's afraid of change!"

True, if the republicans are the greedy old people then we dems are the tree hugging hippies.
Which reminds me I am off to throw money at some of the world's problems now. I hear, that makes them go away and we might as well spend as much of the tax payers money as we can... its the root of all evil anyway. Later all!

Damn Egomaniacs Making Our Country Recklessly Affirm Taxation
What do you think? I feel like a traitor to my party just making this up, but I suppose it's all in good fun and the spirit of fairness. I think I need to go shower.
