Would you vote for Schwarzenegger?

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2003-08-08 02:33am

Look. I havent taken a look at his specific platform, but in general, if a person is registered republican, we dont see eye to eye. That is the way of things.

Hell I would vote for a republican, if he/she didnt operate on the republican political platform

(Note: If I didnt find him repulsive, I may vote for Ros Perot(sp) for no other reason than to have a creepy little gnome creature for a resident)

I'm going to vote for him.

I'd vote for him, but how long will banners with his name be?

I have not decided yet, but I might vote for him. Bustamonte is a no go for me and Im not interested in keeping Davis. So since I get the chance to pick someone else, it might be McBain, er... Arnie.

He is basically a fiscal conservative, which I want as a governer. This state has big, big, problems. Its too expensive for most people to live here, its gonna take a strong governor to make the state friendly to business again.

I'll vote or Arnold, but is a tough choice over the Gallagher/GaryColeman/Larry Flynt Triple threat.

I plan on buying at least one t shirt for each of those four campaigns.

I think I would vote for him. I could be wrong of course, but from what I've heard of his views and what he stands for I like. We will just have to wait and see. He sure as hell can't be any worse than Gary Coleman!

And forgive me for going off topic, but if there is one thing that gets on my nerves is that voters make it a habit of voting for the party instead of the man. Nevermind that he/she may or may not share your particular views. Nevermind that he/she may be absolutly incompetant. Apparantly, if he's the right party he's the right man.

ME: Hey, this guy has some pretty interesting views. I think I 'll vote for him. How about you?

VOTER: Hell no!

ME: Well, why not?

VOTER: Because he's a Repulican.

ME: So you're just going to vote for the other guy because he's Democrate?

VOTER: That's right.

ME: So you're not even going to think about what the this guy has to say? You're not going to listen to the guy's views and what he has planed? What about this guy you're voting for? Do you even know if he share's you're views?

VOTER: ......Leave me alone! *runs off*

Granted, it's an extreme example but you get the idea. There are a suprisingly large number of people who share this mindset. It's as if nobody listens to the person anymore. Just because you share the same party doesn't nessesarily mean that you share the same views. (Sorry if I hijacked the thread. My dad and I had an argument about this. Carry on.

He's the worst political prostitue I know of. If he thought it would increase his chances of getting elected/re-elected or the size of his wallet to sign on with the Nazi party and club baby seals, he'd do it. He's going to lose this recall. He's never been good at marketing himself. His successes are due to his ability to smear the other guy, but in this case, there's no other guy to smear.

I have relatives in Minnesota. They LOVED to complain about Jesse Ventura. I'm from IL, so i'd just sit back and listen with a wry little smile. They'd never had George Ryan driving the friggin bus.

Saw an interview with him on one of those news shows and my first impression was that he had ZERO personality. Al Gore for all his robot like ability could not match this guy for sheer lack of charisma or any kind of driving force. It was like watching a piece of drift wood carved with a human face when watching that interview. He was pretty confident that he would win and one of his arguments was - "where are the democrats going to go? They have to come to me." Then I heard last night that his own Lt. Governor would be running against him.

We have a word used to describe such people - they're called "libertarians."

Not necessarily. The label "social liberal" often suggests support for affirmative action, which is just about as un-libertarian as policy gets.

I would vote for him, but I can't vote until next year.

I'd vote for him. He's the kind of moderate Republican I'd love to see in office as opposed to the more hardline republicans. Socially he's a liberal-moderate on just about every issue but takes a conservative stance of economic issues.

Arnie, easily. Flynt is a land monster who makes disgusting, shitty porn and prays for the death of people whom he disagrees with (he recently held a prayer vigil wishing for the painful death of Bill O'Reilly).

I'm sure there are many people in the media who wish for the painful death of Bill O'Reilly. I just wish he'd shut the fuck up when his interviewees are talking.

Your attitude frightens me. Stand back and listen to yourself. "That is the way of things." Do you think this or ANY nation really needs that kind of polarization?
