How to tell if you're a Democrat

Based on Gov. Ahnold's speech to the GOP last night.
My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans how do you know if you are a Democrat? I'll tell you how.

If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government ... then you are a Democrat! If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group ... then you are a Democrat! If you believe an integral aspect of decent society is assistance and empowerment of the less fortunate ... then you are a Democrat! If you believe that all Americans are responsible for the education of our children, and that this is a shared responsibility of parents, teachers, and school administrators ... then you are a Democrat! If you believe this country can be a beacon representing the hope of democracy in the world, and can be a responsible member of the world community ... then you are a Democrat! And, ladies and gentlemen ... if you believe the best response to terrorism is supporting freedom and hope throughout the world ... then you are a Democrat! If you believe retaining our basic freedoms, and aiding those around the world who would also share in those freedoms, is a stronger weapon against terrorism than guns and smart bombs ... then you are a Democrat!

There is another way you can tell you're a Democrat. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of ordinary American people. Not the millionaires, or the conglomerates, or the mighty industrialists, but the common ordinary American people, working together.
