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.
Look, I’m in a pretty jaded mood right now. Huckabee grated on me, now I wouldn’t be at all offended if he gets nominated. Hell, I still don’t know what to think of Romney (read: his “flip-flopping”) but we have to man up here and destroy McCain once and for all.
So basically Californians, I don’t care who you vote for among the GOP, just make damn sure it’s not McCain, because if he gets nominated, I’ll pack up all my stuff in boxes, get a wooden boat and float my way to the Cayman Islands or something. And you think I’m kidding...
“Thank heavens Fred didn’t endorse that trash Romney. He has more integrity then that.”

Thanks for the insightful comment. I feel enlightened.
I so wish the Huckster would drop it. The McCHuck tag team disgust me.
That's rich, coming from you.
"Everything Mitt Romney has touched has turned to gold. Everything Romney tried to fix, he fixed."
Madam, you are 100% certifiable. You have now completely crossed over into the Twilight Zone. The fact is, Joe Isuzu Romney has RUINED everything he has ever touched. He laid to waste the MA Republican party and buried it. He gave the state $50 abortions, liberal judges, gay marriage and on and on...
What do you recommend?
I’m always happy to help enlighten folks about sleazy liberal con men like Joe Isuzu Romney.
Unless Romney is totally defeated Tues. Huck will not drop out. He’ll stay around to continue his efforts to derail Romney - Right to the Convention if necessary. A spiteful, disingenuous man masquerading as a man of Faith.

Okay, now that was funny. lol Thanks! :-)
No way I’m I going to vote for McQueeg who only tolerates Republicans. That also goes for his henchman the Huckster.
Fred trashed both McCain and Huck in the campaign and rightly so. I don't recall Fred trashing Mitt.
I'll be voting Mitt tomorrow. Sure beats the alternatives.
I say either cast a vote for Fred if he’s still on the ballot or “None of the above.” The remaining candidates are all degrees of liberal, and are completely offensive to Conservatives. We have nothing to vote for, and we certainly shouldn’t ratify these choices foisted on us by the media. Romney is the identical twin of Ah-nold, only less honest and more destructive as a state leader (frankly, I’m shocked he didn’t endorse him. They’re two liberal peas in a pod).
The only thing funny here is Romney’s candidacy. About as funny as cancer.
Lincoln said it best.
“Vote Yourself a Farm”,,ain’t an American left in this World..
I’m not sure what it means, but I just got the urge to pop open a can of Pepsi.
Well, you’re voting for the WORST of the 3. Romney’s still a lying con man who has you hoodwinked.
Chopping off both hands is a better alternative than voting for Romney.
Mit is a liar. Took him half a century to figure out killing babies before they are born is not good. Either he is a liar or a very slow learner.
McCain is too old. His advisors will push him all over the place.
Huckabee loves those illegals.
None of ‘em are going to stop nafta, or get America producing things again.
Ron Paul blames America first, otherwise he would be good, but that is a big otherwise.
Slim Pickins for President
Vote for Mitt!! That is what I suggest. :)
