Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirms He "would love to be governor" of California Is "very liberal" on social issues HOLLYWOOD, June 9, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Action films star Arnold Schwarzenegger has been confirmed to be seriously considering running as the Republican candidate for the California governorship as early as this fall. This would be in response to what is shaping up to be a successful recall campaign to replace current Democrat governor Gray Davis who was elected only last November.

Today's Newmax Left Coast Report quotes Schwarzenegger saying, "I would love to be governor ... if the state needs me and if there's no one I think is better, then I will run." The violent and often crude movies action hero is reported to be having discussions with his political advisor, political insiders and potential supporters. A final decision on whether to run will be made after the July 2 opening of his new film, "Terminator 3".

For social conservative Republicans, Schwarzenegger is definitely no Ronald Reagan. There are serious reservations about supporting the actor whose views on critical moral issues mirror those of the morally bankrupt Hollywood establishment.

A Nov. 18, 2002 Associated Press article reported that Schwarzenegger describes himself as "very liberal" on social issues and that "He favors legalized abortion…and gay adoption". England's May 30 Guardian newspaper also quotes commentator Bill Bradley stating, "He's pro-choice, pro-gay rights…He's a member of the Kennedy family and some of that, I think, has rubbed off on him". The actor is married to Kennedy cousin and Democrat Maria Shriver.

Human Events on line on April 23, 2001 reported that Schwarzenegger was outspoken against the Clinton impeachment. Of that he stated, "That was another thing I will never forgive the Republican Party for".

The 55 year old former Austrian and Mr. Universe, Mr. International and Mr. Olympia title holder has been married since 1986, is the father of four children and is reported to be a genuinely devoted family man.

"Conan the Destroyer" is as far left as Gray-Out Davis. He gives the GOP a bad name, IMHO

Attention cute little helpless babies-you have been targeted for termination.

He's great in action films. Heck I liked him in the Terminator movies. I part company with Arnie on some of his social liberal politics.

[Mr. Mojo]

"very liberal" on social issues

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure he's a 2nd Amendment defender.

Schwarzenegger, who was born and raised Catholic and claims to be a Republican is no improvement over the current California gov.

Hasta la vista, Unborn Babies

California should demand better than this.

[TheAngryClam]

I think he is.

Plus, he's decent (not great) fiscally.

Then again, look for the single issue types to tear apart the one candidate with non-negative name recognition...

He's married to a Kennedy (in a round-about way). That makes him unfit.

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure he's a 2nd Amendment defender.

I don't care if he is pro-second amendment, if he loves guns more than children the GOP doesn't need him around.

[cpforlife.org]

Give California someone who not only defends the 2nd amendment but someone who defends the unborn citizen the right to Life Liberty and ability to grow-up and bear arms!

What about his pro-gay stance?

We don't need no stinking "very liberal" on social issues California GOP. Why even bother with elections.

Then again, look for the single issue types to tear apart the one candidate with non-negative name recognition...

What "single issue" matters more than the protection of the most innocent among us?

[Mr. Mojo]

I don't care if he is pro-second amendment

I'm sure you don't.

[goldstategop]

Yes.. its easy to trash those of us who believe in traditional values as being out of step with the times. We'll just have to continue to tilt against the twin windmills of depravity and moral relativism.

And I will add the worst enemies of our Republic, also.

I was surpriseed to find out on Friday that Maria is pro-life! Maybe she can educate him.

No single issue is more important than any other.

However, when you combine fiscal responsibility, right to keep and bear arms, immigration reform, and other issues like that, I'm willing to put aside abortion.

Problem is, too many people aren't willing to drop their one pet cause, and don't realize how much they hurt the other 80% of the things that they agree with a specific candidate on.

This goes the same for the other issues I mentioned too, it isn't limited to the pro-life crowd.

[Mr. Mojo]

You know full well that GOP Governors can't do squat to overturn Roe v. Wade. ...Better to concentrate your energies in the appropriate place -- Congress, and the President.

[cpforlife.org]

You are correct! married to a Kennedy--end of story.

[TheAngryClam]

But they can do a hell of a lot for RKBA... Roberti-Roos needs to die a quick and flaming death.

Try telling that to these people though.

[Mr. Mojo]

Big Bump to that.
