1. I am not sure that he supports his Candidacy...
but I am concerned to see the Steve Forbes, Milton Freidman, and Steve Moore of the "Club For Growth" are supporting his campaign. This prooves what we DUers believed all along! The Right Wingers are trying to take this for their own purposes!!! ENRON is the model for what the "Club For Growth" sees a Capitalism!!! This whole thing must be defeated!!!

2. Arnie is a big advocate fo Milton Freidman
guess he just doesn't know how to implement his ideas while still maintining any infrastructure and avoiding mnipulations of free marketeers...probably because one can't.

3. He comes from NewbrASSka, doesn't use computers, Manages.....
Billions of dollars and CHUCKY is his representative for Senator that has Major Shares in Diebold and won his election by around 80% percent in minority districts being a Republican.

8. Nope
Chuck Hegel is a Senator from Nebraska. He has a $1 - $5 million stake in Nebraska-based major elections company ES&S. THAT is the company that supplied the machines for 80% of the vote in Nebraska.

9. Sure. But the issue is Buffett, not Hagel.

6. How is Arnold different from Lieberman, or Dean, or Graham?
Arnold sounds like one of those "socially liberal, fiscal conservatives" - a neo-liberal. So perhaps it makes sense that the rich are supporting him.

7. No way
Read the article. Arnold has always handed out copies of Milton Friedman's Free to Choose, which advocates pure capitalism.
