CNN touting Arnold for President

[buycitgo]

have they NO shame?

Dana Rohrbacher behind it

why are they doing this?

[LisaLynne]

1. Just a guess, but ...

they're stupid?

[buycitgo]

2. hahahahaha.......Rohrbacher says it's bipartisan

Tom Llantos, Hungarian, can run

after twenty years, how old would Llantos be...a hundred and thirty?

[buycitgo]

4. bipartisanship, puglikkklan style

[ender]

3. it aint gonna happen

theres no way in hell that the constitution is going to change for arnie. no effing way.

this is pure mental masturbation.

[buycitgo]

5. I know.....he'd be EIGHTY by the time it passed

can you imagine what he's going to look like if he makes it that far, pig heart and all

[Julien Sorel]

17. They could do it in a year.

The 21st amendment, repealing prohibition, was passed and enacted in a year.

The Republicans have been very good at whipping up a furor over an issue and then muddying the waters long enough to get what they want. I could easily see them getting away with this. CNN is reporting, with a straight face, that it's bipartisan because of Tom Lantos? If they'll do that then there is no issue over which they couldn't easily be manipulated.

It's a sign, I think, of how little confidence the Republicans have in their bench strength and their ideas that they are this desperate. If they had a dynamic plan for the future they wouldn't be sniffing at an empty suit like Arnold.

6. Wouldn't that take an ammendment?

I know Hatch has put out a proposal to change the rules about a president being a natural citizen but I don't think anything has come of it. It's a bad idea IMO.

[wickywom]

7. That's just pathetic...

they have to focus on selling 2008 as part of the package.

[21winner]

8. I am so glad,

I don't watch that B.S.

[DURHAM D]

9. I hope Hatch is successful in changing presidential citizenship

requirements because Gov. Granholm of Michigan will become the first female president of the U.S. I think she is only 45 years old. Go Orin

[buycitgo]

11. YES....she is also very

HOT

[faithnotgreed]

12. now she would be good. you know its gotta be tough to be gov

in a state so diverse and so hurting like michigan

[GRLMGC]

13. Where was she born?

[buycitgo]

14. Antarctica

[DURHAM D]

15. Canada - moved to California when she was 4. n/t

[buycitgo]

21. Canarctica?

Canarctic circle?

[catbert836]

10. They hope he'll be the next ronald reagan

[GRLMGC]

16. But

He wants to be the next Nixon. Remember?

[robbedvoter]

18. Actually, he really admires good ol' Adolf - but Tricky Dick is

the watered down version for "moderate image" consumption by the RNC lights.

[stopbush]

19. Why are they doing it? Prescott Bush.

Traded with the Nazis until 1942 or maybe even later. The US gov shut his bank down for trading with the enemy.

But the bushies and the Nazis have long memories. What sweeter revenge would it be than to have an illegal alien (Arnie-visa problems) who had a Nazi father become POTUS some 65 years after the war ended? All of this facilitated by Herr Roverer?

I'll bet Arnie has an entire shadow government sitting down in Argentina waiting to take up residence in the Congress.

20. What girlie-man would vote for dee Terminator?

Gawd.

Let's just fucking have Buzz Lightyear be president.

[buycitgo]

22. Alotta Fachina would vote for him

[sadiesworld]

23. Granholm isn't worth risking an Ahnuld presidency...

besides, Obama is the future.

[dave502d]

24. Arnold

his I/Q 63

[secular_warrior]

25. Immigrants who've been legal citizens for 20yrs should be allowed

If the pipe dream of an Arnold presidency gets the Repubs to get on board, so be it. We live in a very different world from 19th century, more global, more 'cross-pollination'. Arnold would never get through the Republican primaries anyway; the wingers down in reactionary states would never vote for a 'gay loving, gun confiscating foreigner' no matter how Republican he is on defense and fiscal matters.

It's more likely that Granholm would be elected the first female president because of this effort.

And I can see future situations where a non native born citizen from either party may be the best, most qualified candidate only to be disqualified because of an archaic law.

[Shopaholic]

26. Fine. We'll let them change the constitution if they'll let us change it

so Bubba can run again (and again and again and again). The Gropenator wouldn't stand a chance against the Big Dog!

[buycitgo]

27. NO! when they git rid of the electoral college

just think............

[nini]

28. maybe Chirac will move here and run

that'll get their chonies in an uproar!


there's more than one guy here that was born overseas ya know.
