Orrin strikes again: "President Schwarzenegger?"
I'm glad our senator is concentrating on such important issues as these instead of minor things like healthcare, education, and war.
:wtf:

snip...

A movement to get Schwarzenegger installed in the White House in 2008 is already afoot. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch in July introduced a bill that would allow anyone who has lived in the United States for 20 years to be eligible to hold the office of the president. Schwarzenegger has lived in the United States since 1968. The bill, which would amend the Constitution, must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures before becoming law.

Hatch, who introduced the resolution before Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy for California governor, has said he was not necessarily thinking of Schwarzenegger when he was drafting the constitutional amendment. But Hatch has said he believes Schwarzenegger would make an excellent candidate for president.

1. not a good idea
although I like arnold, the fact that his father like George Bush grandfather were in cahoots with Nazi's does not bode well. Especially since this country is in real trouble already with civil rights......

we are too vulnerable right now to the terriorism of the current administration and their zealous religious right supporters.... this is too dangerous....

5. Do you really think...

...things are going to get that bad? There may be some cataclysmic crisis, but I think in the long run, most Americans, Republican and Democrats will stick together.

6. Let's put it this way....
I think the probabilities of having a dictatorship in the US FAR
outweigh the Rapture.... How's that?

7. This looks doubly stupid now
that Arnold Schwarzenegger may be tied to players within the Enron scandal.
