Why the hell would you want some one like Al Frankin representing you ? Are your brains frozen from all the snow or what. Obviously Jesse Ventura wasn't enough. It's bad enough he's a far left kook but please tell me what makes this guy qualified to be a U.S. senator. Did anybody Listen to this guy on Air America ? What a freakin joke. :roll:

    i must admit..........it does throw a wrench into the status quo. maybe by him being elected it will tell all of the other alley pukes to get with the program, this is what will happen to you and your elected lifestyle.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    I don't know much else about her, but anyone who has the balls to question the Federal Reserve is alright in my book.

    Arnold does deserve way more respect the Frankin. Arnold is an extremely successful businessman prior to his political career. Frankin is more or less a laughing stock and its very hard to take him seriously.

    being succesful in business is probably last on my list of qualities i look for in a candidate. i count it against them if anything..

    thats one of the dumber things I've heard in awhile.

    Arnold is governor. governors are in charge of budgets. being a successful business man goes a long way in that regard.

    so if you had a choice, you would vote for the candidate who failed in the real world? pure genius. :roll:

    But business = corporations and corporations = bad, right?

    :)

    Kidding... I do agree with you... While I don't want Donald Trump as a governor, I'd much rather have someone in that position who has been successful in the business world than some career politician.

    I think you mean Arnold's manager was a successful businessman. And what the hell do I care? My dad's a successful attorney. My mom was a successful x-ray tech. My buddy is a successful pizza store manager. Do they deserve to be governor because they're good at their job like they're supposed to be?

    no I dont mean Arnold's manager, I mean him. he became a self made millionaire long before his acting career.

    personally, I like to know that the people I vote for are competent and successful in real life and the business world before I give them the power to manage something as important as my entire state's budget. but thats just me.

    I voted for bush in 2000 but not in 2004. and Obama this time around. and no, Bush didnt tank every business he touched, last I checked the Rangers are doing just fine.. besides, I dont voted primarily on a candidates business resume. anything else?

    Yes, if Arnold is such a successful businessman that is obviously completely qualified to be governor of California, why is that state on the verge of bankruptcy?

    again, being a successful business man doesnt make someone "completely qualified". not sure why you keep saying that.

    and they are on the verge of bankruptcy because this country is in the worst economic crisis in the history of its existence. not sure if you noticed. that said, I would feel a million times more comfortable with a intelligent business man running the show, the a washed up comedian (Franklin) with little to no business skills.
