Are you gonna' spam all the Arnie threads now?

Please change the name of the Bandito to Alphonso Bedoya.

Oh Christ, why is Kato Kalin on Fox with Rita Cosby now?!?

[Walkin Man]

Figures...

Ten years from now Kobe Bryant will be running for Governor of Californian as a Republican.

His "youthful indiscretions" will be widely defended here on FreeRepublic over. We will be told that a vote for the lifelong Republican is a vote for O.J. Simpson.

[Theodore R.]

Was it ever determined whether O.J. Simpson was (is) a registered CA Republican? I know he was friendly at one time with Jack French Kemp.

[CyberCowboy777]

I personally am more concerned with his current advisors and positions.

What he did 26 ears ago does not bother me unless the bad behavior is still going on. I have done some things I am not proud of, but I am different now.

I want a no new taxes pledge, a pledge to enforce the border, a crack down on illegals and a promise to never sign any law supporting abortion or gay marriage and/or unions. A promise to lighten environmental regulations and to repeal surcharges and fees would be nice.

But Kobe can WIN!!! When will you Californians see the light? I bet you are from DU and want Bustamante...

[Spiff]

Jeez! And the excuses and rationalizations began only a couple of posts into this thread - if that.

What skeleton from Arnold's past, what liberal position would Arnold take, what statement could Arnold make, what actions would Arnold commit before the Arnoldbots on Free Republic would finally realize that he is an unworthy candidate? It's that damned unearned, underseved (R) after his name, isn't it? Freakin' lemmings.

And why is it that EVERY time there is a conservative candidate in a race against a RINO candidate, the Republican Party establishment comes in supporting the RINO?

[DiamondDon1]

Interesting...

Hmmmm...

Isn't blind loyalty a joy to behold? You just have to believe, follow instructions and repeat the mantra, so and so can't win. I feel a ditty coming on, hmm, may it's just gas or as some would say, hot air:

He can't win, he can't win,
it's a constant spin,
let's be good little trolls, and,
just follow the polls,
that's what it's all about,
all we have to do is shout,
he can't win, he can't win,
yet, above all the din,
are those of us,
who won't ride their bus
refusing to buy their mantra,
they believe Arnold is Santa,
saying he will give CA back,
then hires political hacks,
ignoring the smoke and mirrors,
will help you see things clearer

Isn't there still a quota system for immigration into the US from various nations? Was there a quota for immigration from Austria? Was there a waiting list of people who had applied for immigration? Did any of these people find that their applications were not approved, perhaps because the quota from Austria was somehow already exceeded?

Without going to Google to look it up and relying on memory, I believe Scharzenegger arrived in '68 and he became a citizen 15 years later-----in the early eighties, well after this published book made a public record of how he had spent his time here. The number of years, plus the public nature of this "revelation" put to rest the nonsense that he didn't abide by the rules.

(In addition, the 15 time period addresses your concern about Schwarzenegger somehow getting to the head of the line and violating some quota system.)

[GatekeeperBookman]

I was labeled as 'prickly'. I was informed I hold impossible & extreme notions-now I see ANY principles or standards of any sort are just foolish. We have none left-any buffon may be governor & we have seen what was President for two terms.

cyncooper said: "In addition, the 15 time period addresses your concern about Schwarzenegger somehow getting to the head of the line and violating some quota system."

Really?

It was my understanding that a person could visit most nations on a tourist visa and could overstay that visa, but that they would not be permitted to apply for "landed immigrant" status from within the country. They would be expected to return to their home country and make application to immigrate through the embassy of the country to which they wished to immigrate.

Many people visit the US as tourists every year. Except for cases involving political asylum, I thought that they were required to return to their home country in order to apply to immigrate to the US.

Arnold was here on a visa designed to facilitate business operations and not as an immigration mechanism. If there was a waiting list, then it is a waiting list to become a "landed immigrant" from which status a person could then hope to qualify for citizenship.

The fact that the rules were not enforced is no more a justification for Arnold's taking up permanent residence here than for any illegal crossing the southern border of the US.

BUMP!

Schwarzenegger told campaign aides last week that he does not recall earning a salary during his first year in America, even though he wrote about it in his autobiography and the arrangement has been reported in numerous accounts over the decades.

Pretty much what I would expect a Liberal to say. I wonder how long it will take Gov. Shrivernegger to not recall that he was opposed to raising taxes and increasing spending.

[BJungNan]

"It allows you to come in to conduct business, but to be gainfully employed you need a visa that allows you to be gainfully employed in the United States," said New York-based immigration attorney Steven S. Mukamal. "It would seem that Mr. Schwarzenegger violated his own status."

What a bunch of BS. He was not showing up for work everyday. These guys will stop at nothing. The press is so transparently biased. Allowing someone to take pictures and providing them with information sounds a whole lot more like conducting business than it does anything that would remotely constitute employment.

This story will be "corrected" in liberal press fashion with a slight change in coming editions as they realize no one is going to buy this silly spin and they try to back out of it cooly. I swear, the China Daily has more credibility than the U.S. press.

[Rome2000]

Not too racist (although hysreically funy).

Whats next, a "cheap Jew canoe" license or a special "no peripheral vision" license for the Chinese?

Licenses for illegals are wrong, but bringing racial stereotypes into the mix doesn't help our cause.

[Texas Eagle]

And not just the 'Rat opponents.

Ooooooooh, those wascawwy McCwintock supporters.
