No, it says the exact opposite.
My wikipedia article states otherwise, so you're wrong, as usual.
no...that indicates that my party had a different name...but it still was MY party. YOUR party was indeed founded in 1854 in Ripon Wisconsin.post 53.
What part of "founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as the Republican party in 1792" do you fail to understand?no...that indicates that my party had a different name...but it still was MY party. YOUR party was indeed founded in 1854 in Ripon Wisconsin.
If I have adopt an old dog named Fido at the pound and rename him Spot.... and you have a new puppy that you name Fido.... it doesn't mean YOUR dog is older than mine.

Looking at the issue empirically, The GOP is well known to revere the ideals of Jefferson and Madison, while the Democrat Party, with the help of liberals, is always trying to “progress”. Face it, you’d re-write the Constitution to look like the old USSR if you could.
The Radical Republicans were the leading political force during the time of Lincoln through the Reconstruction period. With strong belief in the 1783 Constitutional language that all men are created equal [reverece toward the Jefferson-Madison ideals], they campaigned to enhance freedom through free market economics. During this time, the northern states were majority Republican and had established a vibrant free market society. The majority Democrats in the south maintained a European model of an upper class minority supported by cheap labor of black slavery and poor whites.
In 1862 the Radical Republicans literally went to war against slavery with support of the moderate President Lincoln. After the Civil War and slavery was finally abolished, the southern Democrats kept the lower classes in line by limiting civil rights. The strong Republican majority in congress overrode a veto from Democrat President Andrew Johnson for the first time in US history and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1868. The racist Johnson then refused to enforce it.
Republicans passed the Civil Rights act of 1875, which was struck down by the Democrat majority Supreme Court in 1883. Republicans tried again in 1957, watering down a Civil Rights Act to overcome stiff Democrat opposition. 1960 brought a third Republican Civil Rights Act, pushed through after nearly a week long Democrat filibuster.
President John Kennedy became the first Democratic President to embrace the conservative ideals of the Radical Republicans. Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, who himself grew up impoverished in the South, pushed his party further, and supported the Republican sponsored 1964 Civil Rights Act. This Act was essentially a re-writing of the 1875 legislation, and was passed against chief opponents Albert Gore Sr. and a 14 hour filibuster by former Klansman Robert Byrd, still a Democrat senator to this day. Johnson was instrumental in strengthening the Act in 1968.
the 'radical republicans' followed the Lincoln period. They repudiated Johnson. MM is correct, the GOP of today, is more modern and relevant than he democrats.That's the cleaned up version. The real version is not quite politically correct:
And as usual, the Damnocrats attempt to re-write history to suit their current agenda. They abandoned the Democrat-Republican ideals enforce slavery.
No dice.

Not much new here.
nope...you lost. My party is older than your party...yet your party calls itself the grand old party and nobody bitches...so when we call ourselves the democratic party...you should just shut your piehole.
Unnerved that the Republicans had taken heart to Jefferson, whom they claimed as their founder, Democrats accused them of being Black Republicans.
Are you kidding me? Democrats would not alienate the one group of americans that actually support them. Race is not even an issue this is the 21st century, quit thinking that everyone cares what skin color anybody is. If there IS racism going on its in the old south, the confederate south. Blacks are just wondering why it took FEMA and this federal government so long to come to the aid of the black familys of New Orleans after Katrina? The president should have approved billions in aid imediately.
