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.
What did the 5 fingers say to the face?
SLAP!
Excellent verbal slap-down, loved it!
Romney isn’t “beholdent to anyone” except seniors he tries to scare with Robo-calls in the service of his big government...or does he intend to make them beholdent to them by giving them extra goodies.
I don't expect that I will genuinely trust any presidential candidate, and I do expect politicians to lie occasionally. Apparently I have a lower opinion of politicians than you do.
Voters have to choose between the candidates available. Romney is the obvious choice, flip-flops and all.
Thank you for saying that. The same anti Mitt people are really getting on my last nerve.
I’m always happy to help enlighten folks about sleazy liberal con men like Joe Isuzu Romney.
Always good to hear how we should think. What’s your realistic solution?
Maybe Romney is the true maverick.
I could see that version. I’m still stinging over Hunter’s endorsement.
None of the above.
“You are a fool, and certainly no Conservative”
I guess that makes you the dreaded nazi then, Herr Fieldmarshal lol
Huck is a religious bigot. Instead of trying to derail Romney for being a Mormon, why doesn’t he spend some time getting after his boys, who by all accounts are a real mess. The guy needs to take the plank out of his own eye, no one elected him judge and jury. Meanwhile, he is helping an adulterer. Huck is a real nice Christian!
I’m sure you’re right, but I’m hopeful it won’t matter too much.
I'd like to hear what you have to enlighten us about regarding the insane, angry, conservative con man called John McCain.
Thanks.
Since you want to support someone from the business world, you can always vote for Bloomberg if McCain is nominated. You are right in your implication, however, that all the big three are big government guys. Suggestion: try number four.
Good point about the American Dream. I think a lot of people are just plain jealous of the guy.
The platform is balls-to-the-wall conservative. I'll take my chances. You can go hide in a corner.
I’d like to hear what you have to enlighten us about regarding the insane, angry, conservative con man called John McCain.
