Bush Envoy Defends U.N. Against Schwarzenegger

[Nambe]

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters)

.. Schwarzenegger, who had no experience in politics before being elected California's Republican governor last year, electrified the Republican National Convention on Tuesday evening with a speech blending quips from his movie-star past with somber stories about his immigrant upbringing.

At one point, seeking to define the beliefs of his political party, he stated, "If you believe this country, not the United Nations, is the best hope for democracy, then you are a Republican."

Asked about the comment, Danforth, a former U.S. senator from Missouri and an Episcopal minister, said the United States was "a bastion of democracy and is a great beacon for the world."

"But working through the U.N. and working with other countries and working on a multilateral basis is clearly the strategy that we have in our country and it is very important," Danforth said. ..

If your wife’s hairdo was ever ruined by a ceiling fan, then you are a Republican.

If you think paprika is a Third World country, then you are a Republican.

If you think the police can’t see you because your truck is painted camouflage, then you are a Republican.
