Terminator Governer?

[mr.Blacky]

Well we will be hearing more of the US politics with Arnold running for governer, so good or bad?

 

[Ch3tan]

Good, he has been airing political opinions for a long time now and has been threatning running for office for ages. He's not stupid either, makes a lot of sense.

But it's America not the UK, so it won't make a difference to us.

Are you kidding? With him as the Governor for California it means that he won't have time to make any more films.

TFFT

 

[old.tRoG]

He doesn't have many more films in him

How old is he, anyhow? 50-something, methinks.

 

[~Mobius~]

Terminator as leader...that'd be really cool.

 

[madmurdoch]

And when he reneges on all his election promises he can just turn round and say "I lied" and get a big laugh.

 

[Tom]

If he got voted out he could say 'I'll be back' and that would be hysterical.

Ahhhhhh that would rule, so much.

 

[Sar]

He'll never be president though - that would've been cool.

:/

 

[leggy]

Personally I think he's a bit of a twat.

Forcing yourself on women is not cool

There's quite a large movement currently to affect a constitutional amendment to allow foreigners to run for president currently headed by Orrin Hatch, the guy who suggested that online filesharers should have their PCs blown up remotely.

He would actually make a pretty good president especially given that he's a moderate and unless there's a major change in the current American thinking a traditional democrat doesn't really stand a chance.

 

[ECA]

He'd be better than bush, thats for sure.

 

[The_Sheriff]

Since California has a 100 Billion Dollar budget defecit he's got his work cut out.
Although this is all speculation because it depends on wether the
current governor (Democrat Gray Davis) is recalled. And that requires balloting the state.
If he is then the polls re-open for the new elections and it's by no means a one horse race.
The terminator will have many other more politically experienced opponents to fight against, and lets face it, this aint Hollywood here, so no heroic-last minute-out-of-the-ashes strategy is gonna help him win.

However that said, If Reagan could get to play act at President, and Clint Eastwood got to be Mayor of Carmel who knows if we'll see the T-101 as governor.

Also I notice from the BBC website that......
"And 22-year-old porn actress Mary Carey is also running, with a campaign that includes taxing breast implants and swapping guns for X-rated films to reduce violence"

She'd get my vote!
Note to self.....get lots and lots of guns.

 

[Cdr]

I was listening to him on BBC News24 - talking about school, crime and financial issues - it just sounded, well odd.

Although I'm sure he knew what he was talking about and is prob quite passionate about it - it just sound like he 'shouldnt' be there.

 

[madmurdoch]

Well there's always Larry Flynt if Arnie doesn't float your boat.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Arnie really needs to terminate Davis (AHAHAHAHHAHA), he's currently engaged in some massive 'equal protection' suit to try and sue his way back into power despite totally ruining California for the past few years.

As already pointed out he'sa moderate which means he'll appeal to quite a lot of people, especially considering some of the more wacko democrats who may well end up running. It really wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in power, especially with his wife being a Kennedy.

 

[Gumbo]

His wife is a Kennedy, but somewhat strangely he is a Republican Party member, that must spice up the conversation at Christmas dinner.

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Scooba, is that you in the pic? Because you look frighteningly familiar.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Heh, no, it's Dr Strangelove played by Peter Sellers.

 

[Jonny_Darko]

One film I'm ashamed to say I've never got round to

It looks like a guy called Gary that used to do IT at a company I worked for. Had piercings everywhere and always threatened us with showing us his Prince Albert.

 

[Will]

Funnily enough, I always threaten to do that too.

 

[The_Sheriff]

I had no idea people actually had portraits of the long dead husband of Queen Victoria about.

Why would anyone feel threatened by those?

If a lass has her tongue/rude-bits pierced too isn't there a risk of embarassing locking-together though ?

 

[The_Sheriff]

And what happens when one introduces a powerful magnetic source into the room?

No, but the clattering noise can cause a fit of the giggles if you've both had too much to smoke.

I don't think its magnetic...at least, I didn't have to get it out at the airport to get past the detector.

If ye ever have a CAT scan it'll have to come out.

When I got my appendix out, I had to tape it up. They said it was in case I went under and they had to jump-start me. So there I was, with a sheet over me, in the anaesthesia room, taping up my penis while three nurses faced away, trying not to giggle.

Funnily enough, when I woke up, the sellotape was gone.
