The Terminator Is Coming to Ohio
So Arnold is coming to Ohio the last weekend before the elections. Is this going to make any impact at all? Well, I think so. Am I one of those people who believe that there are people out there who choose a candidate over another just because a Hollywood celebrity told them to, well, not really. It depends in my opinion on the substance of the message.Let me explain. I personally do not think that anyone is going to change their vote from Bush to Kerry just because Rosie O’Donnel or Cher told them to, anyone who would go to listen to Cher or Rosie talk politics is already in the Kerry camp. Trust me.
Cher had a Kerry rally this past weekend were thousands of people were supposed to show up, but only a couple hundred showed up. Rosie also had a Kerry rally where thousands were supposed to show up but only about 38 people showed. See what I mean?
However, in the case of Arnold, I think he is really going to make a difference. The reason is because Arnold is not just motivated by hatred for Kerry or the democrats(in case you don’t know, his wife is a democrat. Not just any democrat, a Kennedy. You don’t get anymore liberal than that. Well, not unless you are John Kerry) like most democrats are, but I believe he is trying to spread values that he really and truly believes, in. There are a lot of immigrants (I know because I am one also) who identify with conservative ideas but who support the democratic party because they have fallen for lie of class warfare put out there by the democrats. These immigrants really and truly are conservative by nature, but end up supporting democrats and the democratic agenda because they think they really have no choice. Arnold reaches out to these immigrants.
His speech at the Republican National convention explaining why he is republican just about says it all. For those who have forgotten, here is part of the speech
My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans, how do you know if you are a Republican? Well, I tell you how. If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a Republican.
If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group, then you are a Republican.
If you believe your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does, then you are a Republican.
If you believe our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children, then you are a Republican.
If you believe this country, not the United Nations, is the best hope for democracy, then you are a Republican.
And, ladies and gentlemen, if you believe that we must be fierce and relentless and terminate terrorism, then you are a Republican.
Now, there's another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people and faith in the U.S. economy. And to those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie-men.
Wow! That just about says it all. Ohio has a large immigrant population, if nothing else, I know those who have been at the political crossroads until now are definitely going to be listening closely to Arnold.
