He’d better switch parties. Ahhhnold has no base of support in California. We thought he’d at least be a fiscal conservative, but he’s gone over to the dark side on that too. I like Crist better than Schwartzenegger, and that’s not saying much

Californians can’t stand the RINO. He’s destroyed California with the help of his buddies, the Liberal morons in the CA Assembly. Arnold for President, what a sick joke! One National Disgrace is enough.

Huey Long may have been the most corrupt governor, but when it comes to sheer, stupid incompetence, Arnold has them all beat.

How soon you forgot the former governor of Minnesota, Jesse "The Body" Ventura! Had to be the body, 'cuz it certainly wasn't his mind. Now there is a definition of incompetence, if it wern't for "incompetence" he would have had no "competence" at all...

GtG

PS I'd give Arnold a solid second place however.

Only in the imagination of birthers.

Oh, I remember Jesse Ventura. But I really don’t think he did nearly as much damage as Arnold.

sure he can run. first become a dem. then have the courts interpret the constitution as a “living breathing document” and allow him to run

Correction:

Many hoped that he might become more conservative once in office. Anyone who bothered to listen to his election pitches in the summer of 2003 knew exactly were the Austrain stood in the political spectrum.

The famous restore our programs pitch on the steps of the Santa Monica Superior Court House in the spring of 2003 still rings in my ears.

If you want to play the game that the founding fathers didn’t require that both parents be American citizens to be considered Natural Born. Then it can be said that the Constitution does not specically say that you have to be a American Natural Born ctizen, Arnold is a Natural Born Citizen ( just not in America)therefore should be qualifed to be President. obama (if he was born Hawaii) is a Native born citizen (not Natural born)as stated on his “fight the smears” website. A native born citizen is considered a naturalized citizen, the same classification as arnold. If obama is “LEGAL” then Arnold has the right to run for President.

“Ahhnoldt” is the “toomah” on the face of the California GOP. Cancerous RINOitis.

What ever happened to all the “Arniebots” on FR who in 2003 were telling us Arnold would save the GOP in CA? That. McClintock couldn’t win?

CA GOP would have been better off nominating McClintock. Even if he had lost to BustaMECHA, they’d still be better off because the Dems would totally own the sinkhole CA has become.

“Possibly the worst governor of all time. He’s actually made Gray Davis look pretty good in comparison.

Huey Long may have been the most corrupt governor, but when it comes to sheer, stupid incompetence, Arnold has them all beat.”

Amen, brother, Amen!!!!

Arnold’s campaign slogan could be: “I’ll do to the US what I’ve done to CA. Bend over!”

Didn’t hear his Santa Monica speech , did hear others where he sounded like he wanted to reign in spending and keep taxes down. In retrospect we all heard what we wanted to hear. Just barely turn out to be better than Bustamonte. Schwartzenengger’s big pitch was coming together to get things done. Turned out that meant dumping all things conservative and agreeing with the Dems, now is endorsing Obamacare Ugh!!

I’d vote for him only if he kept that sawed-off Winchester on his desk in the Oval Office and randomly shot diplomats (and State Dept. officials)

Thank God almighty that he can’t!

He could always produce a Hawaii Certificate of Birth.

Arnold admitted long ago that he was an illegal alien.
