You moron!!!
It isn’t bad enough the idiot voters in my party chose you over Steve Westley (because heaven forbid we pick someone who could actually win. No, no! We can’t elect a moderate! The world would end as we know it!). No. You have to go and do something to guarantee all those fence sitters will vote that Austrian muscle head in for a second term. You asshole! You twit! You utter, utter prick!
Of all the stupid things. The chance Angelides might win wasn’t all that big to begin with, but I was still holding out some slim hope. This just crushed it.
Um, what? I’m not seeing an election-losing scandal here. Some staffers downloaded a file from an improperly-secured website. Whether that was wrong or not, it’s a pretty far cry from breaking into someone’s office.
I don’t see this hurting Angelides, and I say this as a California liberal who is considering voting for Schwarzenegger because I think Angelides sucks. Of all the reasons not to like him, this doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.
That was my biggest gripe this election year. We had someone who not only espoused the majority of the principles of the Dem party, he could’ve won. And won pretty big, too, because it was obvious he was well liked by moderates. No, that’s not good enough. We have to go for the pie-in-the-sky candidate with the really shady background. And there’s no way in hell we’ll be able to pull in enough votes to get rid of Ahnolt, which is just a crime. Did you see him on Monday Night Football last night? If the man doesn’t have a prepared speech in his hand, he’s completely lost. And we can’t beat that?
Probably, but I’m pissed off. More about the fact that I have to put up with idiot boy for four more years than anything else. I knew that was probably going to be the case, this is just the icing on the cake.
I think that Arnie is a lock but I very much doubt that this “scandal,” assuming that most of the voters are even aware of it, will change anyone’s mind.
Hey, haj. I was thinking of you the other night when I was playing Omaha.
I think considering the fact that Arnold was forced to apologize for the comments he made in this meeting, he can be counted on to make as big a deal about it as possible.
Omaha? …and here I thought that we thought well of each other all this time. I’m just a boring Limit Hold’em dude.
Yes, but if Arnie brings it up he just draws more attention to the remarks in the first place. If no one cares about the groping allegations, they won’t care about this.
Did you hear his interview during the second football game last night? He really came off like a pandering ass. “Football is the greatest game ever. We need two more teams in California.”
Hey. There’s way more maniacs in Hold’em now than in Omaha.
What a sad statement.
I was so relieved when they finally took the mike away from him. He stumbled through every sentence. “They call me an action hero, but these firefighter guys (cringe) are the real heroes.”
Angelides is a joke anyway. He doesn’t stand a chance in Hell of getting elected, and he never did. Now he’s started the “Link Arnie to Bush” ads and slid all the way to the bottom of the heap.
Well, in Connecticut it apparently means “we chose a hosting service and plan that is more commonly used to show pictures of one’s dog to the four people who happen to google the breed and used them to house a heavily-advertised political campaign website”…
I agree with Oprah Winfrey that he is probably the most accomplished and remarkable figure in American life these days.
He comes here from Austria, barely able to speak the language; wins virtually every bodybuilding title that exists; becomes a multi-millionaire real estate investor before the age of thirty; becomes the biggest movie star in the world, despite keeping his cumbersome name and accent; marries a beautiful and vivacious and accomplished Kennedy woman (and a member of the opposition party, no less); and gets elected governor of one of the most populous and important states in America.
We should be such ‘idiots’ and ‘muscle heads’. :rolleyes:

Congrats. I certainly consider you every bit as much of an idiot and muscle head as the Governor of California.
Just like Reagan, he is an actor. He won the recall election because Californians were fed up with Gray Davis and wanted blood. His name was the most recognizable, and he’d recently gotten a proposition passed to fund after school care programs. He does zero thinking on his own, he’s embarrassed himself and the state every time he opens his mouth, and he has the political acumen of a small lump of clay. Scotty Nguyen has done exactly the same thing and more, and while I consider him an amazing poker player, that doesn’t mean I believe for a second he’s qualified to be governor.
You mean Ronald Reagan…president of the Screen Actors Guild, two-time governor of California and two-term president of the United States (and IMO, the greatest president of at least this century)…that Ronald Reagan?
Certainly more than an actor, I’d say.
And yet he’s somehow regarded by you as having enough voter support that it’s absolutely giving you the vapors that he may be reelected. It would seem many of your own state’s residents do not share your opinion of him…and make no mistake about it, your assessment of him above is only an opinion.
Thus explaining why I consider you to be an idiot and muscle head. Ronald Reagan fucked this country far more thoroughly than Bill Clinton ever fucked Monica Lewinsky. Yes. An actor. Someone who learns how to fake sincerity and get people to believe it
No, I’m pissed off because the Democrats in this state were so against putting a moderate on the ballot, we’re virtually assured to be stuck with aforementioned lump of clay. Steve Westly would’ve beat Ahnolt 8 ways from Sunday and been a better governor in his sleep. And yes. That is my opinion. Which is based on fact. Yours is apparently based on what a great guy Arnold is in his movies.
Well, given that by virtually all accounts, he never actually fucked her, I suppose I could agree with that.
Year after year, and election after election? Seems that it would take a little more than the appearance of sincerity to achieve a record like Reagan’s. You know, things do actually happen while people are in office and voters notice. That imbecile Carter was (largely) sincere and look where it got him.
Uh, no…actually, it’s based exactly on what both Oprah Winfrey and I elucidated above: his extraordinary record of accomplishment.
Maureen I certainly sympathize, but as the bible says, it is easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than to beat some sense into a kool-aid Republican.
:mad:
I’m just a boring Limit Hold’em dude.
