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.

I am saying we need to start with conservatives on School boards and in the classrooms and writing text books and curriculums. That is how the far left has moved the majority so far.

Take a look at the Constitution Party. My wife put me onto them. Normally, she hasn’t been big into politics, but she knocked me out with this one. Told me she was supporting Constitution candidates from now on. wow!

Today in Houston Texas we are presented with the spectacle of whether or not we should allow road check points for insurance and a valid drivers license on our streets. “Your papers please.” Rather than being outraged by the entire concept, our vaunted city council is upset that we may catch some criminal aliens in the process. There will be tyranny and war in this country. Mark my words.

I am still leaning toward the Constitution Party

Did not know about a Constitution party. Sounds interesting. I will research. I know this guy would have been considered a constitutionalist.

It's a shame Colin Powell has forgotten THIS SPEECH and endorsed an enemy of this country.

Maybe more. My wife put me onto the Constitution Party (Great brand name :), then two Boy Scout leaders said that is how they vote, then I saw my first Vote Constitution bumper sticker today! I am getting the message loud and clear!

I actually felt happiness and joy walking through the local store this afternoon. The first time since the election!

I’ve heard, but I need to do some research. Still need someone who can be the leader/figurehead and get around the country.

Is this the American Constitution Party that seems to be headed up by a lesbian from Madison Wisconsin?

The Republican Party, the one Reagan got elected from.

3rd Party means we submit to the RINO’S and let THEM have the party, whippersnapper ; )

One of the challenges with 3rd party groups is that they always aim and spend 99% of their efforts putting on a national candidate for president (don’t know if this is true of the Constitution Party yet...just begining research).

That is backwards...build a foundation first, with city council, mayors, then to state reps and state senators and maybe then a govenor and a few Represenatives in US Congress and a Senator...Now you are ready to support a national candidate who has a good foundation nationwide to lean on for support and volunteers.

Correct...but as I mentioned above...it needs to be taken over at the broadest (lowest) level. Taking one over and re-educating inside an established organization might be easier but may still take as much time as building from scratch.

I doubt it. My wife showed me a breakdown of their statements and policies verses the other major parties, and I was astounded. A lesbian could be in it and be elected, but I doubt she could be openly flagerant about it.

It is a conservative party. The Constitution is a conservative document and repulses liberals like garlic or crosses to vampires.

When was the last time a 3rd Party President was elected? How successful have 3rd parties been?

The Democrats LOVE to see this website talking about 3rd parties.
