Principles before politics
Tom McClintock for Governor of California!
Molon Labe!
As exciting as a box of hair.
Bookmarked...
On second thought, we have a more important place we can use him:
I don't know. I'm curious, too. I can understand why he might have set those issues aside, however. They're not completely separate from fixing California's budget and welcoming business back, but they're not as important as lowering taxes and slashing our spending.
Oh come on! I was thrilled when I visited his campaign site and read his positions. And the speech above is quite stirring for traditional patriots like me.
Here's the thing: we know Arnold is running a successfull campaign. But he's pandering to the left to get elected. What about the right? Shouldn't he be made aware that we exist? The more support candidates like McClintock get running up to the actual vote (i.e. opinion polls and Internet buzz) the more a candidate like Arnold will have to recognize that there are people to the right of center who want to solve California's problems, too.
Besides, Tom McClintock could still be elected. This is going to be an exciting campaign, and it's not all because Schwartzenegger has personality. Part of the excitement is in the contest!
We're not saying how we'll vote. We're showing support for the Californian who speaks best for our interests and our ambitions for the state.
When the voting is done, people will look back on what was said during the campaign and policies will shift because of it. If we're quiet about whom we prefer now, how will that help our cause?
FADE IN:
Tom McClintock: Come with me if you want to live on your feet rather than die on your knees.
GOP Voter: What are you talking about?
Tom McClintock: The old RINOs were boring liberal politicians. The RIORDAN series, we spotted them easy. But these are new. They act like outsiders. They get conservatives endorsements all over-- George W. Bush, Pat Buchanan, FreeRepublic, everywhere. Very hard to spot. I had to wait until he moved on you and made speeches endorsing socialism before I could zero him.
GOP Voter: Look, I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make things like that yet.
Tom McClintock: Not yet. Not for about two monthes.
GOP Voter: Are you saying it's from the future?
Tom McClintock: One possible future.
THE GOVERNATOR KNOCKS DOWN THE DOOR AND COMES CHARGING IN WITH A BUNCH OF CELEBRITIES HEAPING PRAISE ON HIM.
The Governator: Your guns, gif them to me.
GOP voter: F*** you, ***hole
Tom McClintock: You can't do that!
The Governator: [signs liberal legislation] Wrong.
Tom McClintock: That SOB took my guns!
GOP voter: We've got to stop him.
Tom McClinock (to supporter): He's after your children, Sarah. Most of us were kept alive to work, paying taxes to support illegal aliens night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight back. His name was Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah. Your unborn son!! John Connor, the man who will someday be the next Reagan. But if the Gubernator wins, Republicans will suffer 40 years of darkness and he will never exist.
The Governator: Hasta la Vista, unborn babies! [signs liberal abortion law]
GOP voter: Are you sure you have the right person?
Tom McClinock :I'm sure!
GOP voter: Oh come on! Do I look like the mother of the future? I mean, am I tough, organized? I CAN'T EVEN BALANCE MY CHECKBOOK!!
Tom McClinock: You still don't get it, do you? He'll terminate the GOP. That's what he does! That's all he does!
GOP voter (to Governator): You just can't go around passing laws that allow killing people.
The Governator : Why?
GOP voter: What do you mean why? 'Cause you can't.
The Governator: Why?
Tom McClintock: He doesn't understand conservative values.
The Governator: Ever heard of Rekall? They sell those fake memories. I'm not into politics. I'm into survival. Now ve haf to double da state income fur the children. I'll be back.
Tom McClintock: Listen, GOP voters! And understand! The gubernator's supporters are out there. They can't be bargained with! They can't be reasoned with! They don't care about a conservative agenda, intergrity, or experience. All they want is someone with a "R" next to their name on ballot. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until a RINO gets in!
GOP voter (punching hole for McClintock on the ballot, to Ahnuld): Your terminated, ****er!!
