Arnold would probably be about 400 times better than Davis.

Just a devils advocate question.

Do you think he could do worse than the current governor of California?

I dunno. I wonder why anyone would think that an actor could do better.

Hell... he's not even a good actor. :)

Hell... there's a slogan for Arnie... "Reagan did it. Why can't I?"

The voters in this country are just stupid enough to go for it.

LOL


Isn't it ironic that Clinton turned out to be a better actor than Reagan and Reagan turned out to be a FAR greater president than Clinton?

And Sandman, don't you love your knew 3x's hike in auto registration just to cover some of Daivis' blunders? Same old Dems tax and spend at work :)

Which seems to contrast quite nicely with Neo-Conservative version of "spend and spend."

So you are happy with Davis and his great economic plan?

I hope you are happy paying for it Sandman, just glad I don't live there :)

I'm not particularly happy nor do I think that Arnie is the answer to anything.

I'm betting that they'll see a jump in their signatures in the next week or two here (http://www.davisrecall.com/) .

I don't think the Governer of California should ever be someone who is not allowed to be the President of the United States. I really hope the Goppers don't go forward with this.

Because I'm feircely pro-California, and I want California Governers to move on to the nations highest office.  This is especially true for Republican candidates. a Republican with California in his pocket is very tough to beat.

arnie would make a better gov than any of the dems we have ever had.  His political views are as legitimate as any career politician and at least he has worked his way up.

What are you basing your opinion of him on?

Post by: midnight Target on June 25, 2003, 10:07:36 AM
The last truely fiscally conservative Governor we had in California was Jerry Brown. He took a deficit and made it a surplus.... Look it up.

 The current budget issues in CA are not limited to Gray Davis or the Democrats. We have spent ourselves into a deep hole and the economy hasn't provided the income to cover it.. Davis is a bad Governor, but Simon would have been much worse.

Anyone posting in this thread actually know anything about Arnie other than what movies he's been in and who he's married to.

Just curious as to what you are basing your assessment of his qualifications on.

I mean... Sonny Bono was widely renouned as a baffoon because of the role he played on Sonny and Cher.  Find anyone in congress that viewed him as such.

Seems funny that such a bunch of self proclaimed politically savy folks would really be carrying on this discussion in this manner.

The fact he was born in Austria was enough to diqualify him as a viable choice for me. Although, when I say it like that, it really makes me sound even more like a jerk lol.

deja... heard him interviewed one time and he said that he and his wife agreed on allmost nothing politicaly.    That is good enough for me.

would be like not really being up on an upcoming election.... I would ask MT.. "who are you voting for for ####?"  whatever he said would probly determine how I voted.

arnie pushed the after school stuff for kids. seems like a good thing to pay attention to. and hes got to much money to be bribed which is a good thing for a politician youd think.

another great thing is if you lived in cali youd be king of the "our gov can kick your govs ass" if it came to it in a bar. and if enron tried to jack cali on energy prices the ceo might worry that arnie would pick up jesse at night and come pay him a little educational visit. :)

By all means, let's not put anyone in office with simple common sense.

I mean...unless they are educated, politically motivated and served in public office before, they certainly couldn't be qualified to lead the state.

Post by: SOB on June 25, 2003, 03:31:16 PM
The mere fact that he can get his name on the ballot qualifies him for the office of Governer in CA.  Beyond that, all he needs is the votes.  I don't have an opinion about him as an elected official either way (well, I'd vote YES if it'd keep him from doing any more action films - "I am a tired OLD cyborg from the future, john conna', come with me if you want to live ... but first we must pick up some WD40 and Aspercreme"), but I say more power to him.  I think it's a good thing that you don't have to be a career politician to run for office.

jesse is the ****in man. everytime the dude is in cali he always hits coronado. usually in a limo and hits all the old haunts to drink beers and pass out cigs to the "young dudes". he never forgot where he came from for sure. make sure and check out his new show hes gonna have a killer demo in it. :)

I agree, just let me get my inlaws on this side of the SA fault, and my house would be only an hour from the ocean after the Gay bay falls into the po and the sac valley floods.   The central coastal range would be an island, but would still be the best pig hunting in the nation.    

On the serious side, Arnie would make an excellent Gov.  Lets do it (I am one of the petition holders for the recal)!!!!!!

I wouldn't take over the Govenor of Ca's office if you handed it to me.  Who would want to inherit such a fiscal mess?  It seems to me that, short of HUGE tax increases or a federal bailout, CA may not recover for years. Besides that, what GOP perosn would want to be the Govenor of a state so full of dem voters?  No, Ca. is a beautiful example of how a welfare state cannot succeed.  If we continue to hand out money to all who are content to be on the dole, look for more states, then the feds to face similar problems.  Maybe not in my life time, but without change, it will the welfare ideas of the dems that eventually bring this country to ruin... we are rotting from within.

 Businesses are leaving California as fast as they can pack their bags because of the tax situation there, and it is just getting worse.
  MT mentions that Davis and the democrats are not soley responsible for the CA fiscal problem.  While this may be literallty true MT,  Davis and his cronies raised State spending by 40%.... 40%!!!!  This in the face or decling revenues.  If there are other people responsible for this, who are they?  You can't really blame the economy much.  Colorado went through  the same boom, then decline in revenues.  Instead of raising spending by 40%, they actually saved money for future lean times... go figure. Too many people with their hands out in CA, and too many pols willing to give tax dollors away to those who do not contribure to the tax roll.

California Über Alles (Davis edition)

I am Governor Gray Davis,
My face is frozen and never changes,
No way I’ll become president

Electric power will soon go away,
I’ll be recalled some day,
But my reign is not yet through,
Kids will have to pay for school

California Über alles
California Über alles
Über alles California
Über alles California

Labor unions will control you,
Biotech is natural,
Fund-raising for the master race,
Still no expression on my face,

Weird stuff happens out here,
The Terminator is near,
Enron won’t come back you say,
But you will continue to pay!

California Über alles
California Über alles
Über alles California
Über alles California

Now it is two thousand and four,
No stop to the gangland wars,
We can only afford volunteer police,
And it’s now illegal to carry a piece

We built a brand new prison camp,
I’m the guard union’s tramp,
I need money to stay in power,
See my war chest and cower

Now we must raise the tax,
We need $38 billion in cash,
Idiot Simon cannot save us,
Vote again for governor Davis!
