| Last night, Schwarzenegger, as the Republican Governor of the largest
state in the nation, delivered a message that appeared in prime time on all
the major networks:
|
|   My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans, how do you know if you are a
Republican? Well, I tell you how. If you believe that government should be
accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a
Republican.
|   If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member
of an interest group, then you are a Republican. |   If you believe your
family knows how to spend your money better than the
government does, then you are a Republican. |   If you believe our
educational system should be held accountable for the
progress of our children, then you are a Republican. |   If you believe
this country, not the United Nations, is the best hope for
democracy, then you are a Republican. |   And, ladies and gentlemen, if you
believe that we must be fierce and
relentless and terminate terrorism, then you are a Republican. |   Now,
there's another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith
in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people and
faith in the U.S. economy. And to those critics who are so pessimistic
about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie-men. | This was powerful
stuff that the average American got, unfiltered, directly through their TV.
Schwarzenegger's star power guaranteed

How to tell if you are a Republican:

If you believe that the rich should be exempt from taxes, then you are a Republican.
If you believe that lowering taxes will increase tax revenue, then you are
a Republican.
If you believe that Israeli security is as, or more, important than
American security, then you are a Republican. If you believe that the US
military should be used to spread US influence to create a world American
Hegemony, then you are a Republican.
