Should Arnold Schwarzenegger run for President

[98goldbird]

Excuse me when I say this, but F*** all you dumbass overly patriotic americans. Chris Rock said it best in his comeback appearance on "Chris Rock Never Scared."

The war was cool. When the war started it was great man. It brought a lot of patriotism. Patriotism is beautiful! But slowly but surely, the patriotism turned into hatriotism. People started freaking out. The war was weird man. Cuz you watch TV man and you see these weird white guys getting overly patriotic and they have their ****ing flags hats on and their flag drawers. Flag pickups. “I’m American Man! I’m American! **** all these ****ing foreigners. I’m American! I’m American!” You’re like, eh, calm the **** down. There was a lot of accepted racism when the war started. It was accepted. “I’m American Man! I’m American! **** all these ****ing foreigners.” And that was cool. Then it was, “I’m American, I’m American! **** all the French.” That was cool. “I’m American Man! I’m American! **** all these Arabs.” And that was cool. Then it went to, “I’m American Man! I’m American! **** all these illegal aliens.” Then I started listening, cuz I know ******s and jews is next. Like, any day now! That train’s never late!

And they keep trying to scare us. Everyone’s trying to scare us. Tell us to be on the lookout for Al-Qaida. (where where, where, where?) I ain’t scared of Al-Qaida. I’m from Brooklyn. I don’t care about Al-Qaida, ****. I’ma **** Al-Qaida. ****, did Al-Qaida blow up the building in Oklahoma? NO. Did Al-Qaida put anthrax in your mail, NO. Did Al-Qaida drag James Bird down the street til his eyeballs popped out his ****ing head? NO. I aint scared of Al-Qaida, I’m scared of AL - CRACKA!


Overall...you really really F'in think that Arnold, if he got to the Presidency, would treason America? I highly doubt it, but paranoid patriotics seem to think so. Has he done anything to F up California? (my state), no...I dont think so. He also has the political background behind his wife. I'm not saying that he WILL get it, but not being open to the fact is downright ignorant. Seriosly...if everyone wasn't so uptight and closed-minded, this would be a far better of country.

Done ranting....

Sorry for all the cussing....that's just Chris Rock for ya.

I dont really care, the fact that a country is still pretty much run by one man means we still be getting ****ed over the rest of our lives, unless you can hit the lottery and make up the next bracket. I dont really give a crap who is president, they will all promise big things and deliver like 2% of what they say. Ill just keep working until i die and if you think the country is bad now just give it another 20-30 years, i figure by then about 40% of americas jobs will be replaced by machines and it really will be a **** hole.

AMEN! And they call it a democracy!!

What the hell does this even have to do with the post? Is this a response to people stating that only American born should be able to lead our nation?

Would you really begrime the wisdom of our founding fathers by quoting a belligerent half-illiterate high school drop out comedian?

Outstanding. :rolleyes:

[Speedin96]

my interpretation of that whole quote is that american's are racist towards every other nation/color. It doesn't matter if you are black chinese japanese mexican french or whatever if you aren't american white you are no good, when its our own that are doing just as much damage to ourselves.

these are not my views just what i understood that paragraph to mean.


as far as Arnold as president, i think once we see him finish at cali we ask them what they thought. I have never seen him in the news for drugs or killing or beating someone, im sure he has flaws but so did all our other presidents.

[95fbirdkid]

I have never seen him in the news for drugs

you didnt hear about the whole using marijuana and steroids in his past when he was running for govenor?

[5SpeedBird]

"you didn't hear about the whole using marijuana and steroids in his past when he was running for Governor??

Wow shocking, big frickin deal, Bush snorts coke. Still a good leader. Most rock band use drugs. still good musicians. yadda yadda yadda

losers who use drugs, are easy to see. Lots of people use drugs and fit right in to normal society.

===============

Yes Arnold should run. As if not. were gonna get stuck with Hillary. You want a *****y woman for president??? Least of all a Clinton.

And who else is gonna keep the terrorist running???

a woman president would make us weak in their eyes. and an easy target.

The terminator as president. You better run.

[95fbirdkid]

Yes Arnold should run. As if not. were gonna get stuck with Hillary.

its not just a matter of him running, congress would have to ammend the constitution, which would mean they would need a 2/3 vote for it in both the house and the senate. Also it would need to be ratified in atleast 23 states. All of thise would take YEARS to happen, even if the rules do get changed it wont happen anywhere soon enough for him to run in '08.

[Loochy88]

hehehe, campaign slogan for the second term, "ill be back"

lets be reasonable, its funny that he's over there running california, but we dont want the world laughing at the rest of the country too now do we :D

[5SpeedBird]

chose your poison, Hillary or Arnold

Ill take Arnold. Least in the world eye. We wont be weak. Fact is most countries arnt like us. They would look at us as weak for having a woman president. Which would hurt us across the board in every aspect of life.

[98goldbird]

No one's saying that he's going to run in '08. Even arnold said he's not ready to run, just that the idea is open. He's way more focused right now on California ((Even turned down Terminator 4, because they wouldn't do the shots in CA))

Loochy, not many people here in CA are laughing at the fact that Arnold is governor.

Infernal, this is one of the most stupidest things I have ever heard...

"Would you really begrime the wisdom of our founding fathers by quoting a belligerent half-illiterate high school drop out comedian? "

Wow....I'm sorry if I offended you in my earlier statement regarding dumbass overly patriotic americans. [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img] Now REALLY...begrime the wisdom of our founding fathers by quoting Chris Rock? Guess I was right about close-mindedness. Hmmm...Jefferson had slaves, didnt he? The Constitution was ORIGINALLY written to only let WHITE MEN PROPERTY OWNERS vote and play a role in politics, and now everyone can. (Is that a problem to you? Cuz that begrimed their wisdom) Constitution was racist, and everyone knows it. You do to, right? Should it still be? And NOW, why would you call Chris Rock a belligerent half-illiterate high school drop out comedian? I'm sure he knows a hella lot more than you do. But aside from that, Bush was a C student, is that a problem for you? He wasn't a highschool dropout because he WANTED to be. You can thank America for the creation of the "projects." I'm guessing you come from a well endowed family Infernal, and that most of the people you know are middle class citizens. Thus, you look aside the fact that some people actually do struggle to get through life.

Before I keep going, I'll see what results from this....

ok, you've got some valid points except for that. why would you assume chris rock knows more than infernal? just b/c he is famous?

this could be a good debate, lets keep it civil guys, ok? no personal attacks or anything like that. i'll remove them if they appear, be forwarned.

The whole idea behind presidents having to be american born isnt b/c of racism. Its to make sure that our president has no conflict of intrest if he would need to deal w/ his home nation. Now this might not seem to be an issue w/ Arnold since austria never does anything. But just remember, if we change the rules for arnold, it opens the floodgates for people from countries that may be more likely to have a conflict of intrest.

The world is so f*cked up...

In foreign countries its so hard to get citizern ship or even get accepted into the country, even if you can speak their language, have a college education and so on.

In our country you don't need to speak english, know how to do anything, and your more than welcome to bring your dirty family.

It's BS.

I could be wrong (don't remember too well now) but I think it was Argentina that had a Japanese for President.

Iraq is hoping for a layperson (that could be anything) and not a Shiite or Sunni. And I think Guam or Fiji had an American born for President.

Philippines had Aquino (a woman) as a President in the 80's and she was a U.S. citizen. Wasn't born here though but she grew up here and got her degree here.
