I am truly upset at the Kennedys.

[newscaster]

LA Times had an article saying that Arnold will help campaign for Bush in the coming post convention campaign.
And the Kennedy's into whose family Arhnold married, is okay with this?
Have the Kennedy's given up on the standards they upheld and the ideas they put forth?

[mzmolly]

1. What should they do kill him?

;)

[newscaster]

2. They must...

work to turn him around. Thats what. The Kennedy's are steeped in democrative ideals. Arnold is not.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Well, it's a start...

:evilgrin:

[mzmolly]

18. LOL

:hi:

[Lindacooks]

3. Just because Maria is a Stepford wife

doesn't mean the rest of the family has fallen in behind der Gropenfuhrer.

[Zen Democrat]

5. Maria is not a Republican, just married to one.

Just like James Carville is not a Republican, just married to one. The entire Kennedy family is Democratic, except for in-law Arnold. Sargent Shriver and Eunice supported their daughter's husband and stood on the stage with him on election night. But, I guarantee you, they ain't gonna vote for Bush.

Hell, Arnold may not actually VOTE for him, either. He'll just mouth support. Arnold is a pro-choice Republican. He was elected on his name and fame only.

[Lindacooks]

6. How do you know?

And since Maria is standing behind him as he ruins California, she is NOT a democrat.

[thebigmansentme]

8. no

i think arnold stands behind her most of the time. it's easier to fondle that way.

anyway i say let's wait and give arnold a chance to date rape california's deficit before we make judgements

[neoteric lefty]

22. What is she supposed to do?

divorce him to stay in the Democratic Party? I am just wondering. It seems that her being in close with him can only help get some much needed input into Arnold. What's more important: 50 democrats protesting outside of his house, or one demcrat with one hand dwon his pants and the other one slapping some sense into him?

Just a thought...

[JerseygirlCT]

11. Exactly right

I haven't heard people piling on James Carville for his Republican wife... what exactly is Maria supposed to do?

Now, personally, I couldn't have married someone whose politics are so far from my own, but it was her choice entirely.

I doubt very much that Arnold will suddenly expect her to follow his public support of Bush. I'm sure they expect to go their own ways on this one.

[Must_B_Free]

23. There' snothing wrong with being a republican.

John Kerry's wife was a Republican until two years ago. There's nothing wrong with that is there?

[JerseygirlCT]

24. Not really - positions on issues are more important than party

I suppose. I was just responding to the idea that there's something wrong with the Kennedy family b/c Arnold is a Republican. That's a bit of a stretch.

[thebigmansentme]

4. yes ted kennedy has betrayed us

huh?

[H2O Man]

7. Sure. Yep.

Damn that JFK and RFK. Just like Joseph, eh? I also blame the innocent children in Iraq. Little shitheads. But I will not think about holding bush responsible, or arnold, or republicans who pretend to be democrats.

[tritsofme]

9. I've had no respect for Ted Kennedy since 1980

when he betrayed Jimmy Carter.

But that's for another thread.

[Yupster]

19. I haven't been a big fan since

he got thrown out of law school for hiring someone to take his Spanish test for him.

[IA_Seth]

10. Huh?

Let's just say I am in love with a woman from a very Republican family whose daughter is a very intelligent, very beautiful, and very liberal woman...

Do you think if they asked me to resign from my local central committees and stop helping with local campaigns I would?

I do show respect for their beliefs, as I think everyone should, but that doesn't mean I would compromise my own.

Nothing wrong with disagreement.

[mitchum]

12. Well, it's not the first time a Kennedy has undermined the Democrats

an anti-deifier here :)

[goddess40]

13. Maria the Terminatress

Have seen Maria at least three times on TV in her white lace dress talking about how it is wrong to deny the presidency to one not born in the US because "after all they just want to serve this country." And so it starts.

[smirkymonkey]

16. I sliced open my hand on her face once...

damn that thing is sharp!!

[Dekapo]

15. What are they supposed to do?

With all due respect ...

[Old and In the Way]

17. Ted made a couple of comments about Maria and Arnold

when he was stumping for Kerry up here in Maine last winter. I'm sure the Kennedy clan is not particularly happy with Arnold's political affiliation, but it's really not a BFD in the overall scheme of things, is it?

[JI7]

20. Ted Kennedy supported Gray Davis

ted kennedy was opposed to the recall. don't lump him in with the others who supported arnold. and ted kennedy is the one who is really and maybe only one that is popular today.

[Forkboy]

21. I love Ted

His family,like any of ours,is made up of individuals.One can't,nor shouldn't,try to control all of them.Arnold is an ass...not much Ted can do about it :shrug:

[Squeech]

25. Well, I'm upset because

Teddy was the one who pulled the strings to site the Convention in Boston, thereby tying this barely functional excuse for a city in absolute knots for a week or more. I'm getting the bleep out while the getting is good.
