What's the deal with the Pub Party endorsing Aarnuld a;ready?
I just heard an announcemenet on KGO radio in Ca. that the Repeblican PArty is endorsing Arnold for re-election, even though he hasn't even said if he'll run again. I guess they're so desperate to get the state of Ca!

Do Califirnians really like this guy as Governor?

1. No we don't--they are trying to cut off any old school cons
who might run against him.

The polls say he's up around 50-60, but I don't think there's that many retarded people in the state.

Essentially, he is a Karl Rove product like Bush, so they are trying to shut down democracy within their party the same way they are doing without.

5. His advisor aren't gym rats, but nice try
Davis was a putz, but Arnold is more like the political equivalent of a date rapist--he smooth talked us a little, dropped a roofie in our drink, and is destroying as much as he can before, the glow of his celebrity wears off.

Unless you are very wealthy and don't want to pay taxes, or you have enough money to send your kids to private K-12 schools and colleges, and enough to make your own electricity, Arnold is dragging your life down to the Third World level of Mississippi.

But you do get to look at his botoxed face and shaved chest on TV, so have fun with your box of kleenex and vaseline.

4. No, this Californian doesn't and...
there are a lot of us who wish Arnold would ride out on the horse he rode in on.

He's bungling things up bigtime and I don't think California could survive another four years of this buffoon.

7. Some Arnold Quotes
"People need somebody to watch over them... Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger (US News and World Report in 1990)



"I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger (in the 1977 film Pumping Iron)



"I saw this toilet bowl. How many times do you get away with this, to take a woman, grab her upside down, and bury her face in a toilet bowl? I wanted to have something floating there ... The thing is, you can do it, because in the end, I didn't do it to a woman, she's a machine! We could get away with it without being crucified by who-knows-what group."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger (describing a scene in Terminator 3)




"My friends don't want me to mention Kurt's name, because of all the recent Nazi stuff and the U.N. controversy, but I love him and Maria does too, and so thank you, Kurt."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger (speaking about his friend Kurt Waldheim, a Nazi war criminal)

A little more about Arnold & Kurt: http://slate.msn.com/id/2086742/




"If you gave these blacks a country to run, they would run it down the tubes,"
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly said. (scroll to bottom of page) >> http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2003/09/01/20030901_051604_matt.htm



"After the show there was a big banquet. We were all dancing having a nice time and in walks Arnold who started shouting out, 'Down with the blacks, niggers this and blacks that,' for about 10 min. All during this time nobody said a word."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly said (link) >> http://www.drudgereport.com/ar1.htm

9. Roger that
Even so, he only won because of the nature of the recall: the vote of the dems was split .

I have my doubts Arnold wins a straight up election. I don't think it's doable now that the front is crubling.
