California, and American, needs a Strong Leader like Arnold – I will vote for him Again

Governor of California Schwarzenegger's office has announced that he will veto SB 60, the driver's licenses for illegals bill. I want to say, “Thank you, Governor Arnold! You will veto SB 60, and I am proud that I voted for you! And I also understand that you intend to veto the latest outrage by politicians in California to recognize Gay marriage, a slap in the face of the majority of Californians by these politicians who do not want to respect direct Democracy by the people who through the Initiative process have resolutely declared opposition to a redefinition of marriage. Should you veto come through for us and also veto the left’s attempt to redefine marriage, I can assure you I will fight for your re-election! California needs a strong leader such as yourself, for a second term!”.

I am being told that there is “heavy” pressure on Arnold not to veto what I would call the “Gay Marriage bill”. But, I think Arnold is the type of man who can take anything “heavy”, pick it up over his head, and rack it, or throw it, where it needs to land. I’m not just talking about physical strength, but an internal strength, a mind-set who respects national heritage and national-soul, and strong man who can fact the fact that you can’t necessarily be nice to everyone and expect civilization to exist. Do you of Free Republic remember that day, in December of 2004, when the great Governor, whom I call our Governor, Arnold, put his strong hand on the arm of a disabled girl and helped her hang the final, crowning, ornament on the California State Christmas tree? And then he stated, this is a Christmas Tree, not a “holiday tree”. Do you remember that day?

I do.

I remember Arnold’s address at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

I will never forget it.

Should I say, that tears came from my eyes like a “girly man”?

I will say, that me and my wife lost our breath.

I am a Nixon Republican, Nixon who is hated by so many including many conservatives. Anyone who would praise Nixon can expect to be attacked, from all sides. You have to be brave to mention President Nixon in a good way. But I remember that day, the 2004 Republican Convention, Arnold said that he remembered arriving in the United States in 1968, no money but full of dreams, and there was the Presidential campaign at that time. And Arnold told me and Americans watching his address, that back in 1968 he too was watching a campaign on television, watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on T.V. – and he heard things from Humphrey that sounded like socialism, something Arnold said he had left behind.

And Arnold said, then he heard Nixon speak, and heard things about free enterprise, getting government off your back, lowering taxes, and strengthening the military. And Arnold asked his German friend who was also watching, “What party is he?”. His friend said he was a Republican.

And Arnold told us at the 2004 National Convention, “my friend said he is a Republican . . . “ And then Arnold said, “then I said, then I am a Republican”.

I will never forget that moment. He was not afraid, or embarrassed, to praise Nixon.

We will see if Arnold will veto the Gay marriage bill. This will be the last proof, that he is the strong man for California, and for America.

What America needs changes from time to time, from moments of achievement, to crisis, to calm, to fear - I believe that what American needs now, is a strong leader. The politics of such a strong leader changes between one from the other – strong men such as an Arnold Schwarzenegger, or a Rudy Giuliani, or a Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado … The politics between these three men varies wildly between each other, and yet I can, and would proudly vote for anyone of them with confidence. They are strong with inner will, and ability. I am told Arnold cannot Constitutionally run for President or Vice President. But I will tell you, bank on it, the candidate or the Party that runs on these three issues is the candidate that will win America, regardless of where you stand on these issues, and that is the issues of illegal aliens from Mexico, the issue of out-sourcing and trade imbalance, and the issue of the war on the enemies of America. If a Republican stands up, and without fear declares and exposes the invasion and colonization of our nation by Mexico, if a Republican is brave enough to tone down the worship of global trade and free enterprise to speak up on some of the dangers outsourcing and trade imbalance imposes on our Middle Class, if a Republican is not afraid to NAME our enemies world wide, this is the Republican who will lead the way for America, with America behind this leader.

For that matter, any Democrat who stands up for the same, that Democrat will be the next one to be the leader for America.

You see, regardless of your politics, in this era, in our age, these will be the issues that will make or break the next leaders of America and could make or break our nation.

Which leader will build America’s “Hadrian’s Wall”?

An organization called Save Our License would like everyone to thank Arnold’s office for stating publicly that SB 60 will be vetoed. I thanked him, and it is important that everyone thank him. It tells the Governor that we are ready to stand with him, to join him. It will counter those who now want him to not veto the Gay marriage bill, and who are trying every means to force the issue. Do not believe the liberal press and the polls – just remember the polls back when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California, and no poll stopped him. No poll can stop an Arnold who has already shown his strength regarding drivers licenses for illegal aliens, and who can now confirm for all of us his leadership regarding a veto on the Gay marriage bill.

When he deports the first 500,000 illegal alien criminals, he'll get my vote too.

[TheDon]

Arnold has my vote in the general election.

Yes sir! And you will hear it again after he vetos the Gay marriage bill. If he does that, he's got my vote. California is a Democrat state. But he won in California as a Republican, just like Ronald Reagan did. He has the ability to govern in a State that is impossible to govern. If you live in California, and he comes through again for us as he has done in the past, you too should thank him, and give him your vote. You too, should "Join Arnold".

But he won in California as a Republican, just like Ronald Reagan did.

Respectfully, when Reagan won the governorship of California the state was Republican, now it's Democrat. With the population shift from the Eastern cities, like New York, CA has gone left. The "Yorkies" brought their socialism with them. Proof? The gay marriage bill itself.
