Re: Arnie for Govener
Darrel Issa is a low life criminal, How that slime bag got elected is beyond me. I thought they had some brains down in San Diego.<br /><br />If the Republicans in this state nominated a solid, moderate candidate like Richard Riordan as a opposed to an extremist boob like Bill Simon, we wouldn't be going through this recall in the first place.<br /><br />Bustamante seems lie a good candidate, but as Lt. Governor, he's kind of like a first mate on a sinking ship.<br /><br />I'll take Arnold.<br />He is heavily involved in politics, The republicans have been molding and prepping him for this for a long time. He's ready.<br /><br />He has a huge base of friends and cronies, not all of who are republican. He has name recognition which is good for getting things done. <br /><br />He runs a few successful business (but let's not count Planet Hollywood, were he was only an investor) <br /><br />So many people think he makes movies 24/7/ 365. Don't discredit him because of his day job. <br /><br />Remember that Riordan was a restaurant owner before he got into politics. Issa was a car theif that sold Car Arlarms. Sonny Bono was a pop singer before he was mayor and a congressman. Reagan was an Actor. Truman owned a clothing store. Carter and many other politicians were farmers.<br /><br />Jeese Ventura was an effective governor in a small state. He was a pro-wrestler.<br /><br />John Glenn and Harrison Schmidt were Astronauts.<br /><br />Bob Dornan was in a mental institution? (J/k)<br /><br />Very few are born into politics like the Kennedys, Roosevelts and Bushes. Most people had real day jobs before entering politics. <br /><br />Arnold seems like a very smart , motivated guy. He came to this country, broke and barely able to speak the language, through drive and determination started a fitness and movie empire.<br /><br />The Republicans get their guy in office, The Dems get a Kennedy in office. Everybody but the hardcore extremist on either side wins.<br /><br />He's big on Education<br />He's big on Fitness<br />He's big on getting the film industry back into the state (how many films are shot out of state because of high costs in California) and that will be good for business retention and attraction in general. <br /><br />I'll vote for him<br /><br />Then we can buy the surplus of bumper stickers from Minnesota that read: "Our governor can kick your governor's *** ")
<br />think he'll beat Gary Coleman.....
