CALLING ALL Arnold Schwarzenegger Supporters:

I am announcing the creation of ArnoldGovernor.net . I have reserved the domain, but the site is up right now at a temporary URL which can be seen here (www.elephantparty.com). I am a Californian and a conservative - and I can say with certainty that Arnold represents the best chance we have of claiming California's governorship. I am posting this site for your review.

First, the others in the race. Bill Simon and Tom McClintock are both fine men, but they have lost important statewide races in the past. Simon lost a race against Davis last year which should have been a cakewalk given Davis' record. Most political analysts agree that Simon ran one of the worst campaigns in recent memory. McClintock is a virtual unknown statewide (let's not get fooled by our own echo chamber). The KEY to remember is that we have

Only 2 months (8 weeks) until Election Day. There is NO time to run someone who Californians have rejected in the past or a virtual unknown. For those who have leaned towards either of them, I'm appealing to your sense of reason to get behind someone with the best shot of winning. Now, why should we elect Arnold?

Arnold is a fiscal conservative but moderate otherwise. His stance on abortion will matter less than you might think- that's a matter for Supreme Court justices which the California governor has no say about. He is pro-business, pro-entrepreneurship, and tough on crime (witness his Proposition 49 which aims to reduce juvenille crime - a major, largely unaddressed component of crime). He is an "American by choice" and is very patriotic. People look at him and think "It's okay to be a Republican". With Schwarzenegger pulling a Total Recall on Grey Davis, Bush may actually find that California is friendly territory in 2004.

I am looking for pro-Arnold supporters to help:

1. Pitching Arnold's candidacy

2. Graphics design- create compelling visuals that are pro-Arnold or anti-Davis

3. Anyone else that wants to be pinged for pro-Arnold events.

4. Coming up with good one liners, spin, updates, opposition research, etc.

Let's team up! Thanks!!

Once I get your suggestions, I will update the site and in a few days, it will be at ArnoldGovernor.net . Thanks all Freepers for your help.

Yup.

[swheats]

Remove me from your ping list.

"Do you live in a sinkhole ?"

Is that a trick question ?

"This state is majority leftist."

Because we don't aggressively do something to CHANGE that, and it can be changed.

"Arnie will probably be the last GOP governor in it's history."

Yup, you elect a Socialist as a "Republican" Governor, I'll guarantee he'll be the last GOP Governor.

"[Impeachment] was another thing I will never forgive the Republican Party for," Schwarzeneggar said. "We spent one year wasting time because there was a human failure. I was ashamed to call myself a Republican during that period."

And anyone despicable enough to say this is NOT a Republican, period.

[fieldmarshaldj]

OK.

[Kevin Curry]

He could not do anything about abortion even if he wanted to because it has been decided by the supreme court and is not a state issue and the same constitution has a Second Amendment that also takes that issue out of a governors hands.

That's akin to saying a drunk who insists on driving is safe because he only had access to whiskey--not beer or wine.

[RJayneJ]

That certainly is a stretch from what I said. My point is that you can't make dire predictions about what the governor will do when the governor doesn't have the power to do those things. Period. Since I'm not a Californian, it really doesn't matter what I think since I can't vote in that special election. I'm just an observer.

I think you will be eating crow this time next year... if you are a bush supporter... and if you are not a bush supporter, than your predictions really don't mean much to me.

sorry bud... I am one of those NOT TRUE CONSERVATIVES...
and seeing you are not God... I doubt you have any clue as to what WILL or will NOT be...

but all other things being equal... you have a fifty fifty chance of being right... or wrong.

[eccl1212]

"Nope. I just have a grasp of history,"
and you said:
"I turn 29 in a few weeks"

---

a grasp on history? er... did you mean histrionics? or maybe what have a grasp on isn't history, but a rather vivid imagination, and a messianic bent on thinking YOU know the future.

rofl...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Unless Ah-nold does a 180 on practically every position he stands for currently, the prediction for what will occur if he becomes Governor will be the reality. It's not speculation, it's merely repeating the pattern of every other RINO Governor of the last 30 years in this country. One doesn't have to be the Lord Almighty to know the phrase "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I got fooled once by a RINO pledging to clean up a mess left by the 'Rats, only he turned around and left an even bigger one. Enough is enough, I'm not fooled here. And if y'all claim to be smart, neither should you.

According to his webites, we can E-Mail the McClintock campaign leadership at: campaign@tommcclintock.com, or Tom can be faxed at: (916) 324-7544 and alternatively reached by E-mail also at: senator.mcclintock@sen.ca.gov.

I strongly doubt that Tom feels as stongly as you do about (blowing the mutha's heads off) as your violent tagline suggests should be done to "us" evil rinos. I think you do him a great disservice.

I guarantee that if YOU are in anyway representative of his approach to government and political acumen, I would not vote for him, even if he were the ONLY republican on the ticket.

"And if you believe that, you've not only smoked your whole stash, but swallowed all the bong water, too.

Sir/Madam, if you don't agree with me, that's your right, but please do not resort to insults just because I believe different.

[Admin Moderator]

Lose that tagline. Now.
