Arnold is pro-gun control, pro-abortion, pro-taxes, pro-welfare, and anti-big business. He is only moderate on his fiscal policies.

he is anti-illegal alien (however, he supports amnesty for those criminal aliens already here).

Looks like I might have to change my ideas on voting for republicans. I think I finally found one that I can vote for and still be able to look myself in the mirror . Since I agree with all his points except the immigration one.

The real reason Arnold is running!


He got tired of working out!!

Yeah... we call that PHOTOSHOP. At least they could have gotten the skin tone on his head and neck to match the rest of the old mans body and make it look like he tanned his head with his body, lol

I have to say that I would certainly choose Arnold over Gary Coleman, who is also running, however I do think that only those who actually vote in the election should be allowed to vote in the recall.

I think the Arnold candidacy is great. But I wouldn't expect him to really solve very much if he wins, the California legislature just as dirty as Davis. I've read a whole lot about the situation and it's a disgrace that argueably the most important state in the Union has been trainwrecked the way it has been.

I hope Arnold is the polarizing agent I believe him to be. They need to get someone new in there and to block the legislature from casuing any more damage and wait out the next state legisslature elections.

And my only problem with the recall is that the threshold for getting the recall going is very low. But, it's low because the bulk of Califorians didn't vote last election. had voter turnout bene higher the recall might never have happened.

The only thing he and I agree on, is that he is anti-illegal alien (however, he supports amnesty for those criminal aliens already here).




Yes, keep this "non-partison" as much as possible, and I will keep it open. First "Oh Yeah butthead? Well I think..." and it's gone. Army

Arnold is a California Republican, which is different from a Missouri Republican which is different from an Alaskan Republican.

I think Army's point was is that Arnold is not a conservative republican, he's is a liberal/moderate Republican. And he's right.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. California is a left of center state, so both of their parties skew that way.

This is the main point I'll pick out to disagree with.

Anyways, big business is very important. While in the strictest sense small business do also employ people you will find the quality and quantity of jobs available increase with increased big business. Big business has capital not available to smaller businesses. It can afford better benefits for their employees then small business. It can employ more skilled laborers then small business (since most small busineses aren't small Airplane manufaturers or small sattelite companies, they're convenience stores and resaurants). The importance of big business simply cannot be understated. Any place that is going to employ a couple thousand people in one complex is going to create a lot of tetiary jobs, like restaurants, convenience stores, security, grounds keepers, maintenance, etc. The economic foundation of a town with a large business is almost always that large business, just like a college town or a town with a military base.

As for Arnold's posistions, he hasn't been clear with them yet. From what we know about him we know that he does not favor regulating abortion in any way, he is for "sensible gun control (he hasn't said what that is yet though), and is for gay marriage. Those things do not a conservative make, However, that hardly means I don't think he should be governor, it just means he isn't a full blown conservative Republican, which in California is a good thing. As Bill Simon (a brilliant person who could probably do some real good) proved in the last election, being too conservative in that State is a death knell.
