I Am a Republican Because
Republican National Hispanic Assembly ^ | 2008

Posted on 11/13/2008 7:39:40 PM PST by An American!

"....My fellow imimgrants...my fellow Americans...how do you know if you are a Republican...I will tell you how...if you believe the governement should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government...then you are a Republican." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2004 Republican National Convention Address (Full Speech   Partial)

I am a Republican because...

I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs the least.

I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is the government closest to the people.

I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world.

We have 4 years. If we can't get it going in 3, then we can support the next RINO.

If we got the conservative talk radio and commentary ladies and gentlemen on board, then we could make a real push and break away from the bad stereo type of the Republican Party. Imagine Gov. Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal running together in 2012 as two young, energic patriots who want to restore the U.S. Constitution from the fangs of Marxism!

Never going to happen, pipe dream, the problem is RINO’S, not the party itself, only support conservatives in the party, starve the RINO’S.

Because it is the party closest to conservatism that has any chance of winning and changing anything, even though it continually betrays me.
