I love how the Official RNC thread sticked at the top of the page is continously ignored. Kind of funny, at least to me. ;)

Well, yeah, I like Mr. Schwarzenegger as a person as well. He's funny and he always says exactly what he feels about an issue, which seems to be very rare these days among leading politicians.

The problem is that he got elected in what was essentially a statewide popularity contest against the worst California governor in years, but the state Senate remained largely the same and largely Democratic. The result is a stalemate that's been going on since his inauguration on almost every current issue facing the state right now.

Also, he still has not legalized ferrets.

I'm a liberal, and Schwarzenegger is MY kind of Republican - the kind who doesn't boost other Repubs at all in his state.

lol.. my friends just smuggled a ferret across the border... all it does it run around and stink the place up, not sure what the fascination with them is about
 
I liked his speech because it was mostly about the american spirit. Yeah he said he think Bush embodies it more despite them not really agreeing on everything, but come on who doesn't like Arnie!

Yeah...especially the part about the guy in the hospital that he met that was so happy to have all those holes in him...that was great.

BTW, as I've mentioned before, Nixon did do some good things like creating the Enviormental Protection Agency, tackled Health Care reform, and mended the fence with China. But yeah...leave it to Arnie to remind the Repubs what a corrupt President looks like...you'd think they'd learn by now?
 
I have heard a lot about amending the constitution to allow a person born in a different country to become president. I remember in some movie about the future mentioning that Arnold got elected when they got that amendment. Anyone remember which movie that was?

"Our president, George W. Bush, has worked hard to protect and preserve the American dream for all of us. That's why I say ... send him back to Washington for four more years!"

He gets no love from me for this quote

I want them to amend the constitution so that in the remake of Back to the Future, I get to hear the lines:

Doc: So tell me, Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 2015?

Marty: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Doc: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor? Then who's Vice President? Jim Carrey?

Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him -- except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship.

It is fitting that Richard Nixon's final gesture to the American people was a clearly illegal series of 21 105-mm howitzer blasts that shattered the peace of a residential neighborhood and permanently disturbed many children. Neighbors also complained about another unsanctioned burial in the yard at the old Nixon place, which was brazenly illegal. "It makes the whole neighborhood like a graveyard," said one. "And it fucks up my children's sense of values."

How can you not love Richard Nixon?

Nixon: "Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973 but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me. I've become bitter, and let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat. And I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place! Muhuhahahaha!"
