Too bad I can't vote. I'd so vote for Arnold. I'm in the right state too.

Good for Arnie. Out of the fucking weird ass list of people who want to run, he's so far the best. I mean, lets see;

Garry Coleman
Arrianna Huffington
Ex husband of Arrianna Huffington
Larry fucking Flint

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Good for him. Say what you will about his accent and acting abilities, but he's a smooth operator and a smart guy, albeit a somewhat ruthless opportunist. There's more to Arnold than the accent and the muscles.

Can he even do that legally!? He's the guy who's supposed to certify the results, isn't he!?

The lady who certified Florida's presidential election worked for the damn Bush campaign, this is nothing. Honestly I don't know why he thinks he has a chance of winning unless he thinks he can improve his chances for a Dem. bid in the next election.

As part of his campaign he should go doorknocking to houses that contain someone named Sarah Connor. :P

Arnold's got a load of slogans he can use.

"Conan the Fundraiser"

"Your votes, give them to me."

Ofcourse, here's an oldie, but still good:
"Presidential Cantidate Schwarzenegger, What are your views on forgein affairs?"

"CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES! SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU AND HEAR The LAMENTATIONS OF THIER WOMEN!"

This is scarey. Demolition Man just might come true. Where Arnold becomes president and all restraunts become Taco Bell.

Actually he has my vote. He is very smart, cannot have any political ambition beyond california, is against special intrest groups, and I just want to say "My governor can kick your governors ass"

He however cannot run for president. You have to be a born US citizen to become president.
I hope he wins. My home state of California needs him.

While Arnie will never be able to run for President, since he is foreign-born, I believe pretty much any other office is open to him for nomination, aside from Vice President....

National Security Advisor? Secretary of State? How high up the national food chain could he get before hitting the ceiling of limitations for folks born outside the US? Henry Kissinger got pretty high up...

Send him to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-Il:
"Your nukes. Give them to me."

To the office of the Ayatollah:
"Get out."

And, maybe, to an intern:
"Get Down!"

:twisted: :P :wink:
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If by jumping Gray Davis, all I can say is Davis deserves it. Davis fucked over the state and has only a twenty percent approval rating.
