Arnold runs for govenor.
 

It's been announced on Jay Leno that Arnold Swartzenegger will be running for govenor of California. What does everyone think of this?

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I think it's great. He's eager to repair California and has bright hopes for our future.

He's already rich so he won't need to take bribes or feel the urge to. I think he'd do a good job as govenor.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I remember when Arnold said on Leno he wouldn't accept bribes because he already has the money. If I lived in CA, that wouldn't make me want to vote for him just for that. I would have to see his views first. But since he's a republican...........:hmm:

Ah-nold is going to beat Gray Davis up, and then terminate him.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

To quote a thing from Conan not too long ago (dont know what day it was done, but it was one of his picture with the moving mouth and had arnold on it)
"I will become the Govanator! Then, eventually the Presinator!" (after that conan pointed out he cant become the presinator;) )

Yea gr8 aronld is running but how many of his voters will be fans, and how many of voters will vote because of his political background/knowlegde? but he is a good guy nothing against him

Anybody remember Demolition Man? I watched it last night after Jay Leno on Encore...

It was interesting timing, because Sandra Bullock was talking about how Arnold Schwarzenegger became president :lol:

Talk about making a wild call. Or maybe he was already showing signs of political fervor.

That is kind of wierd... Is that when she's explaining about the whole Taco Bell thing or somewhere else? I've never noticed it...


*shrugs and walks away*

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I think it is great. The people love him, but I think that the only downfall will be his actual knowledge and know-how on how to run a successful party.

Just think of how many people do not vote just becuase they don't want to. If I was in that boat, and Arnold was running for govenor, I would definitely vote for him!

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I live in California and would really like to have him as Governor. Gray Davis is doing a lousy job, and having John Kimbell as Governer, oh man...

"GETTTTTT DOWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!"

Call me nuts, but I actually think that Arnold would be ther perfect Governor. No offense, but California's financial situation is a perfect example of what happens when you let the far left (not all Democrats, so calm down) runs a government. Pure waste.

California has the highest taxes of any state in the Union, and their state debt is higher THAN ALL OTHER STATES COMBINED. The leadership in California has decided that the answer to all their problems is to raise taxes, but whats the point of raising taxes if you're not going to properly manage the money once it is raised?

Mainly I'm behind him because I think he'ss the only Republican who could win in CA, and I think CA needs a Republican governor for their next term or two. And no, I'm not a Republican, I just recognize that they are very good at cutting waste. Now if they lower taxes too, then there is a problem. They need to cut waste and use the tax dollars to pay off the debt.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I agree. Arnold actually has several good ideas.

And at this point anyone is better than Gray Davis.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Go Bill Simon! :sneaky:

;)

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

I have bright hopes for the future of California too, but guess what? I don't know **** about running a state.

I lived through Ventura. I'll never vote for any famous person again in my life.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

R-o-n-a-l-d R-e-a-g-a-n.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Wow, now CA will be more ****ed up than it already is!

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

hehe, i heard aboot this a while ago, about the same time i heard that jerry springer might run for senator (but he decided not to :()

Does it bother anyone that Arnold has supposed ties to the Nazi party both through his father and due to the fact that he once supported a Kurt Waldheim?


Straight from MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/news/949666.asp?0cv=CB20&cp1=1

I must admit, first time I've ever looked at MSNBC.

Guess not.

I think Arnold would be an awesome governor. I mean, how can you not vote for a guy who has killed aliens, been to Mars, came back from the future three times, and has a cool accent! Okay, maybe he didnt really do all those things, but if we pretend he did...

I dont have a doubt in my mind that he will be a good politician, he can tell True Lies, afterall.

Gary Coleman is running too. GO GARY COLEMAN!!




What you talkin bout?

He said he was running "to bring some fun to the race" and that he was going to vote for Ah-nold.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Ah-nold. Haha...

Well, the Nazi problem doesn't really concern me much, but I'll do anything to get Gray Davis out of here.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Arnold may be a Republican, but he's a very moderate Republican. He's pro-choice and pro-gun control, for example. Personally, this makes him a more attractive candidate to me because I'm a centrist myself. But it may drive some GOP hardliners away.

I'd vote for him, but its not the only time someone weird ran for an important position, in Port coquitlam, a suburb near vancouver, we once had a man in a planters peanut costume run for mayor and whenever he was asked any questions about his campaign instead of saying anything he did a dance.

Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Wouldn't you vote for him?

Re: Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Have any of you seen this

Re: Re: Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Yeah, I've seen that on TV, I'm with him all the way.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold runs for govenor.
 

Arnold is cool and all but Gallagher is cooler IMO. His AIM SN was put on a gamefaqs and a bunch of members posted their convos with him. He talked to them about how he supported video games and he repeatedly made fun of the other people running, saying stuff like "we dont need a criple like Flint running California". I dont really care though, if Arnold wins I'll support him:chrono:
