[dolstein]

Poll question: Which Actor Should the Democrats Run Against Arnold in 2006?

[soupkitchen]

1. Somebody with a conviction for a sex crime

So they can split the anti-women vote.

[liberalnurse]

20. I really think Clint Eastwood can do it....

Her has an excellent political record, right?

[Carolina]

41. Eastwood's republican

isn't he?

[Cascadian]

58. Actually, he is a Libertarian.

He might have been a Republican at one time but he recently declared himself as Libertarian.


John

[Speck Tater]

2. Woody Allan n/t

[dolstein]

4. Yeah, that'll get us the pro-incest vote

NT

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. Clint Eastwood

(on edit)

"You're probably wondering. do I have this many electoral votes or that many electoral votes.

Well, do you feel lucky, punk?"

[dolstein]

6. He's not a Democrat

But if he was, he'd be a good guy to run against Arnold. He's getting a bit long in the tooth though.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

8. Hell, he should be. He just produced Mystic River with Tim Robbins and

Sean Penn.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

45. yup eastwood is found a niche -democrats- that will go in droves to see

Tim Robins and Sean Penn...eastwood is a smart man $$$ on his repuke mind

[liberalnurse]

21. Are you sure?

Why do I think he is a democrat????????:think:


What party does he belong? God, don't tell repug....

[dolstein]

22. He used to be a Republican

He may be an independent now, but he's definitely not a Democrat.

[davidinalameda]

66. actually Davis appointed him to some state board

last year

it had something to do with state parks or something along those lines

[rucky]

5. Warren Beatty

He has experience...Bullworth!

[dolstein]

7. Oops, my mistake -- I've updated the poll

NT

[slackmaster]

9. Nicholas Cage

Not sure why, but I've always liked his face and self-deprecating style.

[maggrwaggr]

10. Linda Hamilton! Geez, it's so obvious

Come on folks, who is the only one to have kicked Arnie's ass on screen?

[Terwilliger]

26. LOL

[Capn Sunshine]

27. THAT IS THE smartest thing I've heard all day!

[tishaLA]

33. Linda Hamilton is OK, but Linda Hunt would be better

an impish lesbian with short short bangs? OMG it'd be better than Twins.

But what isn't?

[bluedog]

11. Stallone

Rocky don't know if hes a Democrat or not.....

[davhill]

12. How about Sylvester Stalone

Rambo could take on the Terminator

[Spirochete]

30. That would piss off the gun nuts, for sure

Stallone is for total confiscation of firearms. hehe

[Carolina]

42. Stallone's republican

though. He and his Planet Hollywood buddies: Bruce Willis, Schartzenegger are all repugs

[Snellius]

13. Julia Roberts

.

[murphymom]

14. If we could go back in time

I'd vote for Gregory Peck in 1962 - Atticus Finch we need you!

[Seneca]

15. it will never be Sheen folks

I have to keep bursting bubbles with this one, because Sheen is an avowed pacifist and will never run for office. Not even governor, which has some powers regarding the state militia.

Sheen serves us much better as a citizen-activist, and besides, we as a nation suffer from a celebrity sickness syndrome that makes us far too obsessed with entertainment people being elevated to office.

[maveric]

16. Robin Williams.

He's bright,insightful and everybody loves him.

[Il_Coniglietto]

17. I was just thinking about this

while eating a caesar salad so I'll say Paul Newman. Gotta love the guy...and his food is great too!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. yes! that's the one

the guy's my idol

[rucky]

69. Connecticut

[Clete]

18. Gee, where's Barbara Streisand.

No one is more Democratic than she nor a bigger supporter of the party.

[utopian]

23. Robert Redford

He gave a hell of a graduation speech at my graduation from UMass, Boston in 1990. He really stuck it to Bush Sr., Reagan, and other "mean spirited" republicans.

[Shanty Oilish]

24. Most actors are too intelligent to want that job.

The rest are Republicans :P

[RobinA]

64. These Actors

named are all too smart to GET the job. We need someone dumb, but liberal. Someone with star power, but who doesn't use big words, who can be controlled from behind the scenes by real liberals.

[Terwilliger]

25. MIKE FARRELL

http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:HLNQZa3AEEgJ:www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,72752,00.html+%22mike+farrell%22+hannity+colmes+transcripts&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

(I'll post the whole thing, since Faux doesn't seem to do show transcripts anymore)

SEAN HANNITY: Also coming up tonight, earlier Alan got to sit down with former vice president Al Gore and ask him about his recent criticism of the FOX News Channel. We'll get his answer. And then is Jimmy Carter truly deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize? Some think not. Should he give it back? We'll have that passionate debate on the way.

First in a press conference today, a group called Artists United To Win Without War, unveiled a letter signed by 100 celebrities including Martin Sheen, Kim Basinger, Samuel L. Jackson, Matt Damon. And the letter calls for the United States to back off their threat of a pre-emptive strike against Iraq.

You know our next guest, he's the wise-cracking, Martini-drinking captain BJ Honeycutt from the hit TV show M.A.S.H. Mike Farrell is one of the co-founders of the Artists United To Win Without War. Mr. Farrell, welcome aboard. How are you, Sir.

MIKE FARRELL, ACTOR: I'm fine, thank you. How are you?

HANNITY: Good. Thank you. Can I ask a political question first?

FARRELL: Sure.

[OneTwentyoNine]

67. Thinkint the same as me....

LOL,that dialog is from Hannity and Colmes,you'd think Hannity would have learned a lesson going after Ferrell but no....

He had Ferrell on his radio show for at least 30-45 minutes before Chimpboys invasion and Ferrell turned Hannity's ass everyway but loose.

Hannity couldn't wait for a commercial break so he could compose himself and try and come up with a good reason for invading Iraq. Damn it was good....


David

[ElementaryPenguin]

28. Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, or Tom Hanks!

Or all three!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

54. Tom Hanks is a Rethuglican too

[ElementaryPenguin]

77. No, he isn't!! And he was really outraged about CAA acting as

if they were supporting Ah-nuld's candidacy!! Hanks happens to be very active in raising money for Dems.

[zeemike]

29. I didn’t vote

Because it seems to me that we are being well trained by the Neo-con to react in a certain way. Every time they are successful they want us to copy them and do want they do.
Bush lands on the carrier we put up a general
They run an actor we run one
Don’t you get it; they have us on the ropes blocking punches while they score points. We cannot win without offence and we cannot let them set the rules of what works and doesn’t.
We need to show people that we are not like them and our policies are for the average person not the special interest. And we need to make news in ordered to get our message out, not just react to the news that they make.

[Jackpine Radical]

31. Lessee...Butch or Sundance;

Sundance or Butch...

[BBradley]

32. Alec Baldwin

[mlawson]

37. Really. What has happened to him??

I thought he was going to move to Canada if bush won in 2000. Why didn't he run for gov this time????

[xray s]

34. Jennine Garofalo

She would kick his ass

[linazelle]

35. Howz about having an orignal idea...?

They do a recall, we advocate doing a recall. They put an actor in office, we contemplate the same thing.

Stop the madness!

We need to be proactive, come up with our own strategies for winning and stop playing their games--we don't have to win by their rules.

[mlawson]

38. What realistic choice will the Dems have???

Look at what happened: Some actor, with NO political experience, NO management credentials, and who refused to debate but one time, totally took the election! Would someone named Arnold ______ (not a celeb), with exactly the same zero credentials gotten anywhere?? Of course not.

[ctex]

63. It needs to be someone from the cast of Predator

Jesse and Arnold have been elected Governors so far. Maybe Carl Weathers is next. I hope he's a Democrat.

[The Zanti Regent]

36. Patrick Stewart for Governor

Let Captain Picard kick the Terminator real good!

[0rganism]

47. Is Patrick Stewart naturalized?

Thought he was a UK citizen.

Gropenator could run because he has dual citizenship (Austria/USA)

[jiacinto]

39. Bill Lockeyer, th eAG

nt

[Woodstock]

40. JULIA ROBERTS

She would win in a heartbeat.

You listed no women - why?

[IggleDoer]

43. Maria Schriever

after she kicks his womanizing ass out of her family

[Samantha]

44. I nominate Dionne Warwick to run against Arnold

First, she has a theme song previously recorded, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?" In the event, we had to run the campaign on the cheap, we could use this previously recorded tune. It would be great for California tourism, the revenues from which would help offset the remaining deficit and balance the budget.

Most importantly, she would bring along her psychic network of friends. From a national security standpoint, this would bring a unique advantage. They could predict terrorist attacks BEFORE they happened, and with any luck, where they would occur. The requirement to adhere to The Homeland Security requirements could naturally be dropped, saving the State of California a whopping boatload of money while simultaneously increasing domestic security.

Think of all those people dialing the 800 number into the Governor's Office for advice from Dionne's staff. Revenues generated from those calls could offset that lost from the repeal of the car tax.

Finally, Dionne's Warwick niece is Whitney Houston. Whitney could campaign along side of Dionne, speaking out against the psychological damage caused by living with a husband who treats women badly.

I can see it. Dionne Warwick.

[pippin]

46. what a sexist poll!

don't you think you should have had some women actors? susan sarnadon?
barabara streisand?

[Supply Side Jesus]

48. Paul Newman!

Let him cool hand his way in...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

53. I say Paul Newman too .."shaken them bushes boss...shaken them bushes"

[juajen]

49. I voted George Clooney

I think that man is very smart and knows something about politics (K Street). He's dropdead gorgeous. Would help if he would marry Meg Ryan. Wow, they'd be unstoppable.

[newyawker99]

51. Another vote for Clooney!!

:-)

[CoffeePlease1947]

50. Tom Hanks

Tom has an even better personality. People love him. And he CAN act too.

Mike

[ElsewheresDaughter]

55. Tom Hanks is a Rethuglican

[Cascadian]

52. Why an actor?

I don't think the credentials of being California's next governor should not be if you were an actor/actress. They need a street fighter type to go in there and kick butt on the Repubs. It doesn't matter what profession they are in. I would vote for a taxi driver if he or she had some great ideas and had a great peronsa for the office they are running for.

John

[azrak]

56. I'm with you

passion and personality is really all it takes.

I keep seeing these candidates that vaguely remind me of funeral home operators. Boy and some have been hitting the embalming fluid a little to hard ;)

[piece sine]

59. Why not the Mount Rushmore of Hollywood?!

Elizabeth Taylor! She's great on AIDS and humanitarian causes. No one would ever DARE cross her and if they did, Lordy, I wouldn't want to be the man or woman running against that motor mouth. She'a consort battleship and would blow any foe to kingdom come. And she's only used-up about 6 of her 9 lives...she's still good to go!

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

72. I can just imagine her slogan...

"I've divorced better men than Arnold."

[Avalux]

57. Strictly on visual presentation

George Clooney hands down. No one will care what he says, he's tall, handsome, has a great voice and every single woman, repugs included, will vote for him.

[azrak]

60. Are all the really macho bad guys repubs?

nm

[Selwynn]

61. Mary-Louise Parker!!

Oh my gosh... if she was anything like Amy Gardner (her character on West Wing) I would move to Californian and live in a box so I could work for her campaign.

Smart women are gorgeous, and the country could use a few more of them in office.

[havocmom]

62. Not Martin Sheen, but Charlie

At least he pays a woman for a grope! Would be one up on the Ahhhhnold.

[Toucano]

65. Morgan Freeman! n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

70. daylight comes and me wanna go home....Harry Bellafonte

[Avalux]

68. HEY!

What about Brad Pitt? I'm pretty sure he's a Democrat - I remember reading a Jennifer Aniston article in Rolling Stone. She said some negative stuff about chimpy then recalled an incident with one of the Bush twins who was working at her management co. for the summmer (after the underage drinking thing). Jen and Brad passed her in the hall and Brad said "hey what's up? I got some beer out in my truck". Then started laughing at her.

[fob]

71. By 2006, do you mean March 2004, when the next recall

qualifies?

[Capn Sunshine]

76. That's what I think they mean

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RecallArnold/
:nuke:

[JaneQPublic]

73. Bill Cosby

Everybody loves the Cos. He's the ultimate TV dad, plus he has a PhD.

[piece sine]

74. all joking aside..

your suggestion is quite brilliant. I think he lives in New York State. Should he run for Pataki's job?

[Avalux]

75. would be OK

but he had an illigitimate child with a mistress while married to his wife. Repugs would be all over that one.

[KittyWampus]

78. Harrison Ford!!! With His Whips For Guns Campaign

http://www.danielhsia.com/hfprez/pressroom.htm

[JaneQPublic]

79. I was just thinking about adding him to the list! Along with...

-- Will Smith
-- Sharon Stone
-- Oprah (but she lives in Chicago, right?)
-- Whoopee
-- Ray Romano
-- Denzel Washington
-- Christopher Walken (Hey, why not?!?!)
