Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday it shouldn't matter to voters if they know who all his campaign donors are before the Oct. 7 recall election.
``You know something, when the voters vote for me they're voting for me because they trust me. Always when you vote for somebody you have to have trust,'' Schwarzenegger said in an interview. He was responding to criticism earlier this week that he had exploited a campaign-finance loophole by loaning $4.5 million to his campaigns with the expectation that donors would repay him later.
``I will always let anyone know whatever checks come in,'' said Schwarzenegger, who has made political reform a major theme of his campaign. ``They can see it. What does it matter if they read it now? . . . If it is before or after the election, the rules will stay the same. I will not take money from the special interests, from any of the unions, or Indian gaming.''

..Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday it shouldn't matter to voters if they know who all his campaign donors are before the Oct. 7 recall election.Does this sound like a political novice or an outsider?
The more I hear from this fellow the more certain I am that he's not a conservative and probably a registered Republican because he couldn't get past the Democrat power structure in California in his run for governor.

Funny... no call from the Liberals for Davis and Bustamante to identify all their donors... must be coincidence...

Also, isn't it "funny" that the word "actor" has now become a pejorative?

That might make sense if he registered recently as Republican however Hollywood rewards Democrats. An actor would only register Republican on principle since it will hurt their career.

Sounds like he's working on that absolute power thing. You know, the one where he talked about wanting to experience throngs of people listening to whatever he says.

That was retracted...it's an untruth.
To: mrs tiggywinkle
What was retracted was the ending where he said "and what he did with it".
To: NormsRevenge
All politicians, left, right, centrist, Democrat, Republican and yes, ArnieSchwarzy too, all should reveal the names of their contributors/donors in a timely manner.
Arnie's campaign handlers and coaches are making some significant mistakes and serious blunders. But the people don't seem to care at all. In the end, they'll get what they deserve.

The original allegation was that Schwarzenegger was totally enamored with Hitler and his abilities. It was found to be untrue, and retracted.

Also, isn't it "funny" that the word "actor" has now become a pejorative? You wouldn't know, but on the sample ballot he is described as Actor for his profession.
It's his own description.

This is what I said:

This is what you said:

This is what Arnold said:
Who people listen to and just wait until he comes out with telling them what to do. People like that I admire a lot."
This was not retracted.

Well, he obviously couldn't put down "Nazi Groper" ;)
