Strivers for perfection? Gee, the GOP is serving up a candidate with nothing more to offer than his celebrity, who brings big-time Dem Warren Buffet on board as a financial advisor, a candidate who is pro-abort, pro-gun control, pro-big government, pro-gay, was against Clinton's impeachment, and whose one foray into politics was to add a half-billion dollar program to an already bloated state govenrment - in other words, he has almost NO fit to the 2000 GOP platform - yet we're somehow strivers for perfection for not accepting it? That's a load of crap...
Reuters, Sept. 24, 2002: WADDESDON MANOR, England (Reuters) - The world's second-richest man dropped into the English countryside with the Terminator at his side on Monday, a day after warning the UK's corporate big game his elephant gun was loaded.
Billionaire Warren Buffett and mean machine Arnold Schwarzenegger touched down by helicopter on the immaculate lawns of Waddesdon manor, a Renaissance-style chateau in the undulating hills of Buckinghamshire.
Buffett, 72, is guest of honor at a closed two-day meeting of some of the world's most powerful businessmen and financiers -- the ultimate networking opportunity.
