Would you vote from him?

Why?

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-06-18 11:01pm

Fucking hell yes. He seems to be a pretty intelligent guy and would probably make a good politician.

But more importantly, he's the fucking Terminator.

Pablo Sanchez · Post by **Pablo Sanchez** » 2003-06-18 11:01pm

He's a fairly smart guy and a moderate Republican. I'd do it.

I want a governor who could beat the crap out of your governor.

Yes.

Why?

For precisely the same reasons why most people would not. He is NOT an experienced (or worse yet, career) politician. He is NOT slick with diplo-speak. He is NOT likely to operate the way most politicians would.

Of course, it helps that our local politicians are buffoons; the conservative party is buckling under constant bombardment from a ridiculously one-sided media, the liberal party is run by a complete idiot who promises to reverse a decade of fiscal responsibility by spending his way to glory, and the other parties are just more extreme versions of the first two.

His re-election campaign could be "I'll be back."

Yes.

Why not?

So who would win between Gov. Ventura and Arnold?

I would vote for him.

lol and the thing is it would probably work.[/code]

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2003-06-19 12:17am

I'd vote for him, heck I'd activity support his campaign. He's intelligence, not a politician, I agree with his views, at least the ones I know of and in general I just hate the current governor. He left Phily in shambles and the state isn't doing very well either. He only got elected because the alternative was just awful.

You could use clips from his movies as campaign ads.

Elect Schwarzenegger as Governor, he'll kick ass and lower taxes.

Vertigo1 · Post by **Vertigo1** » 2003-06-19 12:36am

Fuck yeah I'd vote for him. He's not a money grubbing politician like what we have in office now. Plus, unlike current politicians, he actually gives a shit about what happens to the people.

Sr.mal · Post by **Sr.mal** » 2003-06-19 01:50am

He is running in the recall of Gov. Davis. Would I vote for him? Hell yes, he is far better the the moron we have now. I have also met him and have engaged him in conversation, and he is a very intelligent man. From all that he stnds for, he makes me think that he would be far better than our current Gov. Grey Davis ( No offense intended with this: his nickname here is Gay Davis).

Grey Davis' solution to California's budget is to increase crime. The state of California makes money off of it's prison system. TO help out in our current budget shortfall, Davis has cut the budget to education, a proven way to INCREASE CRIME. By increasing crime he increases the revenue gained from the prison system. What a solution.

Grey Davis:

I voted "maybe so" because I haven't really heard too many of his views. What I've heard I like, but if the other candidate is more in tune with my views, I'd vote for him. But the fact that he's taken part in so many violent movies is a big fucking plus for me. The fact that he's not some kind of "the media is corrupting our children" soccer mom certainly makes me prefer him against some other random snake oil politician. I'm definately intersted in at least seeing him run for my state....which he might be doing btw, so this is poll might not just be wishful fantasy for us californians.

I'll take an honest guy who I disagree with over a dishonest guy who shares my views.

Yes. At the very least, he'd be at least as competent as half the clowns who currently run the show.

I'm German. And Austrians are the one's living in that funny little country next to our country, speaking in terrible dialect...
Generally, we hate them, and they hate us

So you hate them because they speak poorly? Now, that's not a very mature thing to -- *realizes that he hates southerners for talking like retards* -- nevermind, as you were.

Oh, and on-topic, I'd vote for Arnie. Lucky me, I live in California, so I just might get my chance. He wouldn't do everything right, and I wouldn't agree with him on every issue, but it'd be a nice change of pace, and like Mike said, he's not a career politician (yet), so that would be a breath of fresh air.

Plus, he's the motherfucking TERMINATOR. Imagine, a politician who I quote regularly. Why, I'd sound like a genuine intellectual. Every time I jack a motorbike in GTA: Vice City and say to the computer, "I NEED YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR BOOTS, AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE." (which I do each and every time), I'd be promoting political debate and discussion.
And if some lame-ass lobbyist came to Sacramento and started bitching about how much they need such-and-such, he could just select "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE." from his eyeball drop-down menu. It would be classic.
And every time Arnie devastates a political opponent, he would humorously reassure us by saying "HE'LL LIVE."

And, best of all, we'd get to hear more of Arnie saying "GUBERNATORIAL."

Darth Gojira · Post by **Darth Gojira** » 2003-06-19 07:24am

The best that can happen if I vote? An excellent improvement on the mediocre regime.
The worst if I don't? My head will be reduced to 1 mm in diameter chips of broken bones and flesh.
Any questions?

I'm betting that, once we recall Davis, he will be our next governer here in California.
