Yes, the Republican Party is often referred to as the "GOP," which stands for "Grand Old Party." This nickname reflects its long history, as the party was founded in the 1850s. The term is commonly used in political discourse and media to refer to the party and its members.
The Republican Party was given this name by the Democrats. The Republicans used the filibuster an unprecedented number of times. To Democrats, it seemed their strategy was just to stop whatever President Obama was trying to accomplish. That is why the nick-name "The party of NO" was used-- Democrats believed the Republicans were saying no to everything, just to be obstructionist.
