Got Out Paced. This is still true today especially with Obama in office. Grand Ole Party doesn`t apply anymore. It`s more like Grumps On Potty, by the way they carry on saying No to everything.

We Answered:

The term "Grand Old Party" is a traditional nickname for the Republican Party, and the initialism "G.O.P." is a commonly used designation. According to the Republican Party, the term "gallant old party" was used in 1875.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary the first known reference to the Republican Party as the "grand old party" came in 1876.

The first use of the abbreviation G.O.P. is dated 1884. Some media have stopped using the term GOP because they think it provides a positive impression to the party.
