California Republicans gave us Ronald Reagan. California Republicans gave us a Governor who, in Reagan, made history. But where are these same Republicans today? Will you be willing to count your vote as history in the making - tomorrow? Because, the reality is the race has come down to McCain and Romney.
But I am worried. After all, many of my fellow Republicans not only gave us a man of history in Ronald Reagan, but they have also given our Nation another Republican Governor named Arnold.
Every vote counts. Today, in retrospect, do fellow Republicans of our Great State accept Arnold as anything like a Reagan, or for that matter, even a Republican?
When Arnold was running for Governor, he sounded at that time very much like John McCain today. And many, including myself, made a terrible mistake. Today, I do not even recognize that same Arnold. What a huge disappointment.
Arnold endorsed John McCain.
I am voting for Mitt Romney in tomorrows California Republican Primary.
What can I do to convince you to vote for Romney? Because, this is the time and the place when it is going to count. If you are a conservative, and thinking of voting for Huckabee – I want to honestly request you consider this. That you can make history, you can best server the voice of the conservative wing of our Party, by voting for Mitt Romney at this time. Because, it will all be decided tomorrow. That is the reality.
It is going to be McCain, or it is going to be Romney. Whoever the Republicans choose in this State, our State, California, that is going to be decisive. There is no way around the numbers, there is California, and there is Georgia.
This is the last two minutes of the Super Bowl, my friends.
John McCain likes to use the term “my friends”. I love John McCain. But I want to make history for the conservative wing of my Party. The way to make history in this case, at this moment, is to vote for Mitt Romney. As pompous as it sounds, this is not a partisan appeal. It is a fact. Conservatives can now have a chance, in California, to make history – I know those who have already decided for Romney will be there tomorrow. For those who are not voting for McCain but considering someone other than Romney, I want you to consider that you can actually be a part of something historical. You can do this by voting for Mitt Romney in California.
The Democrats, the liberals, and their friends in the media, are trying to work McCain’s head right now. The way politics works, well everyone who should know, knows that it is a very malicious mêlée and there are very high stakes involved. Right now, the Democrats, the liberals, and their friends in the media, want McCain to win in California. And while they want this outcome, they are also working and going to try to get to McCain’s head. What they want McCain to do is, they want to convince John McCain that the conservatives are his nemesis, and they want to, slowly, in their own way, convince McCain and feed a hatred in him against conservatives. That it was the conservatives who schemed a McCain loss to Bush, and today they are working with the “right wing talk shows” to destroy McCain.
You see, the left wants McCain to win in California. And then, they want to get to his head, and make him think, “you see, I can win without them, without the conservatives” …
But you see, in the General Election, McCain cannot win – he cannot win without the conservatives of the Republican Party. Not without their vote.
And so, what the left wants, is for McCain to win in California. And take the nomination. And then, they believe they can screw with his head. And make McCain do a terrible mistake. The mistake will be when McCain says something attacking the conservatives in a clear, emotional driven, message. That McCain will say or do this very stupid mistake.
In fact, they are counting on it.
And once McCain does that, then he has lost the General election.
Because McCain cannot win the Presidency of the United States without Republicans, without the conservatives.
And that is why I want you to vote for Mitt Romney.
I want you to stop this agenda of the left wing.
I want you to make history. I am no one. But I can see what they are trying to do. I want you to think about it.
Mitt Romney is not Ronald Reagan. But I want you to understand. He is not Arnold, either. You can have the insight to see.
Everyone, for a long time, has been of the mind set that they need to find someone to give a big ovation to. But then, over time, we start to feel that there is no one worthwhile for a standing ovation. I mean, it can feel pretty good, to stand up and give someone a big ovation. For some, it might even make them feel free. But that is not freedom. You see Democrats, and they really give Obama these big ovations – you even see the same in the Hillary Clinton supporters. But think about it. Sure, sometimes Republicans can’t be like Democrats. Nice claps, cheers – but no one to really give this big ol’ crazy ovation. I mean, in some ways, the Democratic Party is really cult. But, you see, you should not let these big ovations get you down. Because, no, you are not like them. We are not a cult. Not like them. A Coca Cola machine is not magic. It is a machine. It was made by humans, the human mind. The Democrats live in a magic mind set. To them, a big Coca Cola machine comes before them, and they think it’s magic. But, you understand, there is a machine there, and it is us who can make the machine.
No politician is going to be someone who you might stand and, literally, foolishly, throw all of your ovations to. But you can make history. It isn’t magic. But if you use consideration, and thought, and look at the two minute warning in a very real way, you actually can make a difference just so long as you are in the game. Don’t drop out of the game. The football is about to be handed to you, California.
Thompson can’t make anything happen for us. You know that. We can’t vote none-of-the-above. Any other choice than Mitt Romney (a man you obviously despise passionately) is a vote for McCain, a Democrat that many of us will do anything to keep out of the White House. Those are the choices. You’re here all the time trashing Romney. Fine. Tell us then who to vote for.
Could it be that you really want McCain to win? Is that why you’re everywhere Romney’s name is mentioned?
Either write in Fred or “None of the above.” It is as you said, there are no Conservatives left. There should’ve been a huge outcry of voting that way to demand from this party an actual NON-liberal/NON-RINO Conservative at the convention. These current choices are 100% unacceptable. Romney is unacceptable. McCain is unacceptable. Huckster is unacceptable.
We've got troops dying, fighting a war on terror. Hillary and Obama want to cut and run, McCain wants to close down Gitmo and Gomer thinks our foreign policy is too arogant, he apologizes to Pakistan, and he doesn't know the difference between Syria and Jordan.
I'm voting for Romney. You DJ are sitting the election out.
We are being invaded by illegal immigrants. Obama, Hillary, McCain and Gomer think that's peachy. Romney does not.
I'm voting for Romney. You DJ are sitting the election out.
To your face, I'll tell you fieldmarshaldj, that you are pathetic.
On personal life and morality alone Romney is the personification of the American Dream

I expose him as the liar and fraud that he is. Deal with it. Just because you believe and aid in his lies, don’t expect the rest of us to swallow the kool-aid.
BRAVO
Yep.
This is just my opinion but I think if Huckbee wins he will want to give the credit to the Lord. People won’t see multi million dollar treasure chests as miracle food. JAT

If a vote againt Romney is a vote for McCain, what is a vote for Romney other than a vote for the prescription drugs boondogle? (which only McCain and Ron Paul opposed).
Actually, make history by NOT voting for Mitt Romney.
You can vote for Fred, for none of the above, or you can write in whatever name you choose, but for heavens’ sake, let’s not allow this party to get away with shoving liberals down our throats. How many more election cycles do you think this party will last going leftward ?
Yeah talk is cheap and McCain gives us his leftwing, amnesty-loving, gang-of-fourteen backstabbing, psycho-babble.
No thanks, I'll take my chances and hope that the guy who his doing the conservative talk will deliver on that talk.
Since peace is not an option, I think you would make a fine marine. Go enlist.
I don’t support McCain. And you’re taking your chances on a known liberal liar. Are you proud of yourself ?
Oh, please....you want credibility? Are you really endorsing McCain's record?:
McCain/Feingold (limit free speech);
McCain/Kennedy (amnesty);
McCain/Leiberman (no drilling in Anwar and a 50 cent gasoline tax to curb global warming),
the "Gang of 14",
McCain's charge to "end Gitmo" and "stop torture",
McCain's "no" vote on tax breaks for US;
and McCain's belief that "Alito is too conservative".
Snap out of it and: VOTE FOR MITT!
Send McCain home to live with the Liebermans. (If he isn't already)
Haven’t you noticed that NONE of the three is totally conservative? We have to do the best with what we have. I think Romney is a reasonable man with a long record of leadership in the business community which counts more than politics. Look at all the flim flam artists in politics who get elected over and over. You can’t do that in the business world. Business is about FACTS and politics is about PERCEPTION. Romney deals with facts.
As far as his social conservative credentials, remember that some of the Founding Fathers were not totally orthodox in their beliefs but they had respect for the Christian base of our culture and laws.
I think Romney probably leaned socially liberal but began to see the value of the socially conservative view. Many people are influenced by the liberal brainswashing they get in college and may take many years before they start to see through the false ideology of the liberals.
Romney is the best.
