Arnie toys with California's liberation

By Christopher Parkes in Los Angeles
Published: May 26 2003 20:02 | Last Updated: May 26 2003 20:02

Arnold Schwarzenegger, fresh from puffing Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, has turned once again to tantalising Californians with the prospect that his next role may be the state's liberator from the machinations of the Democrats.

But the ageing star, a moderate Republican and scion-by-marriage of the Kennedy tribe, is no clearer now about his intentions than he was four years ago when he first toyed with the idea of running for governor.

He "may" think about a career change after this summer's release, he told TV Guide, the entertainment magazine. But his wife, Maria Shriver, would have to be consulted.

"She has to give the green light and feel comfortable with it, because she moved away from Washington to get away from all that kind of stuff," he told the magazine.

"Our Arnie", as he is known in the state, appears to be intrigued by the current attempt to bounce Gray Davis, elected last November, out of office before his four-year term is up.

If it is to be "Hasta la vista, baby," for Mr Gray, struggling with 25 per cent voter approval, he may feel he has a chance.

Then again, Mr Schwarzenegger, 55, said he was still only halfway through his acting career. The star, whose most recent show business achievement was winning a "Four Martini" award for his Cannes Terminator bash, appears to be keeping his options open.

Whatever the outcome, he will be back.

HAHA! You kalidiots have a memory span of a slug. You obviously don't remember the fact that ahneee IS ANTI-GUN and was quoted as saying [b]"assault weapons, I'm definitely against them"[/b] the article I posted last time he hinted at running for governor.

Here is one of the NUMEROUS articles confirming the fact that ahhnold IS NOT YOUR FRIEND:

"He is pro-choice and favors ``sensible'' gun control, including a ban on assault weapons."- "Will GOP count on Terminator?", Mercury News, Nov 7, 2002

Then again the gop sheeple only care if the candidate has an R after their name. Shit why not just urge stallone to run for governor too?

Hell, we'd be thankful for ANYONE that leans to the right here.  Goddamned Dumbocrats own this state, all three branches of goverment.  The Republican party has pretty well written us off as the major urban areas are SOLID Demo (with the execption of San Diego and Orange County).  The "urban elite" look at the rural population (Republican majority) as unwashed bumpkins.

We're out numbered (and being out bred) by Dumbocrats.

I think we may be even more screwed than before.

If Davis gets bumped, DiFi will probably get the Dem. nod.

She is very popular.

I'm sure Imbroglio would be thrilled. No one with an "R" in power, and all....

Maybe he could "Terminate" Uncle Teddy at his next family function. That would be enough political work for now...

Well, hopefully with him in there you'd have less chance of him being for the 5-10 cent ammo tax, .50 ban, etc.  Gotta be better than the Dems there now, they're for any gun control, "sensible" or not, Anrie couldn't be any worse...

But there are still more Conservatives and Liberarians here than other states. The populations of San Francisco and Los Angeles vote straight {D} and for tax increases.

Luckily, in the event of N. Korea ever launching nukes, these two would definetely be targets.  Worth the trade?  Two liberal festering hellholes for the destruction of N. Korea.  Sounds like a trade to me.

Just kidding.

Don't bet on a retirement.

Especially with this carrot dangling in front of her.

Power baby, power!

As the Governor she would REALLY be able to enact her plans for CA.

As goes California, so goes the nation.
