Arnold is running!

[Ender]

should we vote for arnold???

 

[Bob Hubbard]

yes, cuz if not, he'll "be baaack"

:rofl:

 

[cali_tkdbruin]

He appears to be the leading horse right now to succeed Gray Davis. I myself need to investigate his background, politics and qualifications a little more before I decide who will get my vote.

If anything, at least I think we can say that AH-nold isn't just some dumbass muscle head. He has a business-econ degree from the Univ. of Wisconsin, and became wealthy through various business dealings including real estate before really hitting it big in the movies.

Things currently look bleak here in Cali, but I don't know if Davis deserves all of the blame for this mess...

Arnold has been a super success at everything else that he has done and i bet he will make a great govenor!!

Exactly! He's smarter than people give him credit for.:asian:

Davis, im sure, doesnt deserve ALL of the blame, as no administration in America is totally 1 person...however; when going into office, you have to accept that fact you could be the fall guy for anything that happens... One of the drawbacks of the office.

Arnold is 1 of the few people who could go into that job, once vacated by Davis, and not be a failure at it. Most people would look like a failure taking over the years of problems and headaches that have been in place there. It will take a few years to get back on track, and the first term post davis governor wont see many, if any, immediate changes. At least with Arnold, you can see a positive image in office, instead of the usual politician, that few people trust.

I believe Arnold could do great things there. He obviously has an open mind and able to work well in bi-partisan relationships, as he is a devout Republican, and been married to the most famous Democratic family in America. If I were there, He would get my vote.

 

[stickarts]

go arnold!!

 

[Touch Of Death]

NO! When you name is your slogan,who will he be a puppet for?

 

[Seig]

He is a US citizen, and that makes him eligible to run. He will probably win. We'll see if he does well or not. California has been know to elect entertainers to office....come to think of it, it's not that big of a strecth.

 

[rmcrobertson]

The hideous spectacle of him and jay leno smugly grinning at each other convinced me of my two leading candidates...Larry Flynt and Gary Coleman...where's Pat Paulsen when you need 'im?

"And now George Murphy is the President/He'll really get the chance/To give the country? A song and daaaannncccee"

Hell, where's Tom Lehrer when you need him? Or have we passed beyond satire?

 

[jeffkyle]

I would vote for him, maybe it is a good thing I don't live there... But I would NOT vote for Gary Coleman! Sheesh! :shrug: :shrug:

What is it with all the actors lately thinking they can be politicians all of a sudden? It looks like Jesse Ventura started something...good or bad!?!?!?!?! :shrug:

 

[progressivetactics]

entertainers.....How many of us martial artists have interest outside of karate....some call it jobs...some call it careers...some have totally different interests...jogging, workingout, painting... It is not a stretch for an entertainer to have an interest in Politics. Politicians have been some of the best Actors to date! Look at Bill Clinton....Half the people still think he was a good president! Where he lacked in Acting ability, he made up for in entertainment value!

Jesse Ventura did a good job in Minnesota....He is considered one of their better leaders! Ronald Reagan....ok..."well"..... that gets mixed reviews......but better then Others!!!

I don't believe arnold to be a puppet with someone elses agenda...He has long been a supporter of Republicans, and always been vocal about his positioin.

Pat Paulsen........Now that is funny....i forgot all about that! I think he would do better then Gary Coleman or that Porn Star that is running, although, I think she could probably get a few bills signed better then even Arnold! She probably has some good tricks up her sleeve...or skirt!!!

 

[KenpoMatt]

I hope Arnold wins. I believe it is the next necessary step to take us to *UEGSD*. Uhh, that's "Ultimate Ex-Governor Smack Down" for those of you who don't know.

Just imagine....Jesse "The Body" Ventura laying a flying suplex on Arnold "I'll Be Back" Schwarzenegger. BUT WAIT!! Here comes Jerry "I'll win in the next election" Springer weilding a folding chair over his head. Oh no! It's mayhem in the capital building....heheheh, sweeeeeeeeet.

 

[Cryozombie]

Does this mean we can call Arnold "The Running Man?"

Bdum Ching. Sank you, I be here all za week.

Yup, you got it. They're already using it in the headlines of the newspapers here in So. Cali.
The South Bay Daily Breeze in Torrance had this on yesterday's front page, THE RUNNING MAN in large type, and below it they had a photo of a beaming AH-nold at his press conference...

 

[TKDman]

Arnolds dad was an SS in WW2!

Arnold can't even pronounce most english words!

Arnold is running on pure name recognition.

Arnold is just a democrat with an R.

Arnold just wants to return the business back to CA then tax the hell out of them again... didn't he learn from gray davis? Social Programs + High Taxes + Ridiculious Anti-Business practices = a bankrupt state! With no decent jobs to pay for the social programs needed by the millions of illegal immigrants you would think that they would make a real change. Another experiment in socialism gone horribly wrong. How can high taxes promote business growth?

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it...as long as they try to do good. I just meant that this was one of the biggest trends I have noticed from the Hollywood community in my lifetime.

Jesse Ventura did a good job in Minnesota....He is considered one of their better leaders!

I believe the same thing.

Ronald Reagan....ok..."well"..... that gets mixed reviews......but better then Others!!!

I will not go there...don't need to start anything!

I agree..I don't see him to be anyones puppet.

 

[rmcrobertson]

"Another experiment in socialism?" Uh...what? And the quite-common fluctuations of the economy in capitalism had nothing to do with California's present mess, a mess which, I see, every other bloody state in the Union is more or less in? Oh well. Reason never had anything to do with that argument.

On a happier note, it seems that Darryl Isa (sp.?), the right-wing millionaire nut job who started this particular stupid disaster (cost estimates run from 35-75 mil, at this point), cried when he withdrew from the race yesterday.

We oughta send him the bill.
