You are a Republican because

For all the Republican city council members who voted for Harrison Square.

You are a Republican because:

You believe that the proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done by individuals and that the most effective government is one that is closest to the people.

You believe that good government is based on the individual and that each person's ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility must be recognized and honored.

You believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive have given this nation the best economic system in the world.

You believe that we must retain the principles of the past worth retaining, while remaining receptive to new ideas with an outlook broad enough to accomodate thoughtful change and varying points of view.

These better be watching at the primary (Crawford) and in the fall (Didier). True Republicans do not forget, especially when our taxes get spent on boondoggles like a building an unnecessary baseball stadium. John B. Kalb

Mike, I'll grant you, he should have phrased that as "You would be a real republican if".

I concede many of todays repubs are rinos. I think we'll see that change though rather soon. It's becoming painfully obvious the party needs a purge from within.

I hope the the small Government Republicans are able to take the Republican Party back from the "big government Republicans..."
