Arnold: I don’t really do endorsements

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious...

2004: Arnold Schwarzenegger 2004 Republican National Convention Address: Well, ladies and gentlemen -- ladies and gentlemen, America is back. Back from the attack on our homeland, back from the attack on our economy, and back from the attack on our way of life. We are back because of the perseverance, character, and leadership of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush! My fellow Americans, I want you to know that I believe with all my heart that America remains "the great idea" that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here and to live here. Our President, George W. Bush, has worked hard to protect and preserve the American dream for all of us. And that's why I say, send him back to Washington for four more years! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! For more years!

[conservative98]

Mr. Hasbeen has been making presidential endorsements for the Washington Establishment in every election for the past 20 years! Only for the 2012 election he didn’t endorse when he became radioactive after the impregnating the housekeeper story broke.

[BenLurkin]

FUAS

[Campion]

You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious

So the only thing left to do is endorse the people who made our country something we no longer recognize! Gotcha ... /s

[MikeHu]

That’s all we need — another brain dead president for the next four years who exhausted themselves trying to keep up with Donald Trump — and then did nothing again forever after. We’ve seen this movie before — and so the border gets passed on to Walz — who does less — with each devolution of American society and “election.” More homelessness, crime, drug addiction, inflation, boarded up storefronts, obesity and other chronic conditions, more men competing in women’s sports, more tampon dispensers in men’s restrooms, the whole Woke agenda.

And then the media will proclaim that these are the best of times — and Americans never had it so good — ever. They can still fool some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time, but hopefully, not all the people all the time, and that’s why we have to choose proven success over proven failures — or we continue to circle the drain, and continue as we have these last four years. Who wants more?

I say we give Biden, Harris and Walz a permanent vacation; it’s much cheaper this way — and they can do a lot less damage.

[Codeflier]

Screw your freedoms!

[TexasFreeper2009]

It seems that California turned Arnold into a girly man

[Bonemaker]

The guy has monstrous pecs..between the ears. Maybe he was porking Harris when he was gauleiter of California.

[MinorityRepublican]

He’s from Austria.

"It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election ..."

"... calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic ..."

But I guess Ahnold is ok with SloJoe Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage".

[Mr. K]

a$$hole...
never buying another Ahnold movie or product

[Chgogal]

Well ,this California Bro has something in common with the VP’s husband. Both don't believe in keeping it zipped.

[woweeitsme]

I used to think this a-hole was alright. Not any more.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Girly guy sets his eye on Harris - Walz or maybe just Walz.

[Frank Drebin]

Well, she does go for guys who go for maids.

[phil00071]

Nicky Jam, who has 43 million Instagram followers, today revoked his endorsement of Trump because of the “insult” to his native Puerto Rico during the MSG rally. Also, the Harris campaign has sent texts to millions of Hispanics about the “joke” at the rally.

[falcon99]

Arnold never was a conservative Republican or even a RINO. He, like so many other democrats, spoke like a Republican but never acted like one. He has zero intellectual honesty and is as dishonest as they come.

[Zathras]

Boy he sure likes to pick losers.
