Who was the First Republican?
Cain?
You can go ahead and apply that theory to both carnival parties.
Not really. The Democratic party was created from portions of the old Democratic-Republican party. So they have a legitimate direct link to Jefferson's party.
Uh...sure.
Actually, it was Nimrod.Actually, it was Thomas Jefferson who formed the Republican Party in 1794 to stand for freedom and liberty from government. Modern Republicans, especially Tea Party Republicans, stand for exactly the same thing.
Yes Jefferson was a conservative who stood for freeedom and liberty above all other things by far. In fact, it was the only reason he formed the Republican Party in 1794.do you hate Jefferson and American principles?
Jefferson was a "conservative"? Are you sure?
Conservative, Republican, Liberal, and Democrat definitions have all changed since formation, so pinning labels on founders vs contemporaries is futile
The Republican party's link to Jefferson is, at best, fallacy of equivocation.
do you hate Jefferson and American principles?
Who was the First Republican?
The "real" question is, "Who was the FIRST Conservative?"
Whoever he was, we can guarantee, "He wasn't a scientist".

Kevin Karl Kane was the first "conservative".
Who the hell is Kevin Kane?
By the way, the KKK were mostly Democrats.

Funny, when it comes to the Klan, the left can quote all things Klan like nobody's business.
Not by modern definition of Republican, though.Abraham Lincoln was the first republican President
""You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.

James: Unless you're black, Indian, don't own land or a Woman. Other than that-you're spot on!
Brutus: Actually, Jefferson did more to get the freedom ball rolling than any other human being in history. HIs original draft of the constitution was mmore about slavery than taxes. He is perhaps the world's greatest hero. In a very real sense he just freed 2 billion from communism in China, USSR, and India
James: Oh and he was so for small government-he would never double the size of the country (something which no other president has done), with one stroke of a pen. Yeah that's small government all right! (I know he was for small government-just saying he didn't always take his won advice very well).
Brutus: It seems you've confused the size of the country with the size of the government. You can have freedom in both huge and tiny countries.
James: PS: He (and Madison-a big government guy), formed the Democratic-Republican Party, which broke off into several smaller parties in the early 1800's.
Brutus: Of course if that was true you could provide a quote from a speech, newspaper or letter where Jefferson called himself or the Party he formed in 1793, Democratic-Republican. Welcome to your first lesson in American History.
James: PPS: The modern Republican party was founded in 1854-well after Jefferson was dead.
