"Mr Schwarzenegger, best known for his role in the Terminator films, revealed his intention during a taping of the American television programme The Tonight Show, despite widespread rumours that he would not run because of concerns expressed by his wife.

"The politicians are fiddling, fumbling and failing," he said. "This is why I am going to run for governor."

'Schwartzenegger presidential library... didn't he used to be an actor or something in the 20th century?'

'He was President?'

I'd love to see him and Jesse Ventura in a debate together

He can't run for president. He wasn't born in the US.

I think he was quoting the lines from "Demolition Man" when Sandra Bullock is talking to Stallone on the way to their gourmet Taco Bell dinner.

Unless the rules get changed

hey, I don't care much about the guys politics or anything else, but how about spelling his name right! Schwarzenegger. Probably illegal to say his name in English.

EDIT: Well I shouldnt be so mean, I used to be nicknamed Terminator in highschool after all...

today has been media frenzy day here in CA. first, Kobe Bryant's appearance in Colorado court, and a 'breaking news' of Arnie running for governor.

I saw his entire annoucement.

some of the memorable lines:

"I'll clean up the sacramento."(insert McBain voice and visual)

"I answer to citizens of California."

"Thank you, thank you, I'll be back."(after he stopped taking questions form reporters.)

This kinda is hilarious in sense that Republicans tend to favor somewhat inferior cadidate over reasonably good one. It was rumored that if Arnie did not run for governor position, he would support former LA mayor Richard Riordan, and both are Republicans who tend to be moderate. Riordan managed to get Democratic national convention in 2001(?) despite him being a mayor.

Furthermore, during last gubernatorial election, GOP came up with some rich kid named Bill Simon, who was voted as the GOP candidate instead of Riordan.

back in last presidential election, if Sen. McCain was running, I would have hard time choosing which one. Now, in CA, Arnie is running instead of more experienced Riordan.

and to make things more fun, Arnie's wife Maria Schriber(?) is a Kennedy.(from Eugene Schriver, who was Eugene Kennedy before marriage, IIRC)

Arnie !

Dont do dad !

He is just soooo stupid.

Maybe I'll move to Canada.

Why? He's a conservative Republican.

Not a lot of those in Hollywood. In fact I consider it the worst haven of liberal activist pukes in America besides the campuses at Berkley and University of Colorado, Boulder.

oh yeah...conservative man who makes movies about destroying and ruthless killings.....

forgot to add...he is also a Kennedy..maybe it is good that he is running for governor. if he gets in, we can expect all of scandals to entertain us better than all of his movies combined.

He's using it for publicity. I doubt he cares about serving California.

[USSoldier11B 0]

Yes, but a Republican governor in California would piss a lot of liberals off. One of the reasons I am alive.

[Renagade 0]

What the hell`s the deal with liberals,republicans and democrats anyway??

Im always hearing liberal used in a slightly derogatory context so whats the meaning to them

[FSPilot 0]

Liberals (typically democrats) don't even like being called liberals, they call themselves "progressives" or something like that.

Crazy liberals.

lol. you mean a Republican who is shunned by GOP? it's amazingly hilarious to see how some GOP fringed for his 'lukewarm' political position suddenly become the darling of the party as soon as he gathers attention.

if he gets elected, it would show that current GOP is not in alignment with national politics.

really? i never saw some 'liberal' hating the word to designate their political stance.

kinda understandable since "conservatives" used in context of US politics are usually nice name for "dogmatic"

Actually, as I understand it he is a liberal Republican. His economic policies are conservative but his social views are liberal. He is pro-choice, pro-gay rights etc

[Tex -USMC- 0]

pro gun control too. Now if that ain't at least five minutes of Terminator jokes, I don't know what is.

[shadow 6]

HEHE looking at the list of the other candidates I don't think Arnie has any competition except for maybe Gary Coleman (don't know who he is except in Postal2)

Quote[/b] ]swapping guns for X-rated films to reduce violence.

Jeeezuz, what planet did she fall from?

LOL

Only bad thing IMO with Arnie as governor is no more Arnie-movies

You can say what you want, but I still think Arnie is the #1 of action-hereos

Is it true? Is "liberal" used as an insult over there in America?

The gouvernator is back! Arnie's becoming a politician...

...hmm, politician... didn't he make a movie named "True Lies"?

Or if he wants to amend the budget:

"What? Impossible?" ... "I'll be back!"

*duckandcover*

Poor Arnie, now he will encounter endless waves of

"aktschnfuimstar" jokes during the election campaign...
