Why I'm A Republican

In answer to Mr. Boyce about Republicans. It may come as a complete shock to Mr. Boyce that all politicians play that game, including Democrats. Let Mr. Boyce name one Democrat that hasn't flip-flopped when expedient to do so. It is something we have to live with. Let the buyer beware.

Mr. Boyce states, "Republicans agree on continuing the war until we have victory." Is there something wrong with that?

There is no proof that "The number of people living in poverty has grown during this administration." Most Americans have one or two cars and a couple of television sets. This is not "poverty."

Jobs and factories began leaving this country during the Clinton Administration. Clinton was the one pushing Nafta. The only thing Democrats promise to do is to repeal tax breaks and to add considerable more taxes to already strained Americans. Democrats just can't wait to impose their "social programs" on the rest of us, and that means more and more new taxes.

While Republicans applauded our president, the Democrats sat on their backsides, as usual. Every time President Bush smiles, it is always a "smirk," to the Bush Haters.

I will always be a Republican because I believe in my country, and I believe in a strong America, and I believe that defeat is unacceptable. I am not too concerned whether the world likes us or not. They are only too ready to accept our money and the lives of our military, in order to protect their worthless hides.

If I were a Democrat, I would have to admire that obnoxious, overweight, and morally challenged Ted Kennedy, the brassy and manipulative Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the "Hollywood Trash" that supports their cause. That, in addition to the reasons above is why I am a Republican and always will be.
