> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by even sven \* > \*\*Sadly, I think the allegations of groping worked in Arnold’s favor. America is going through a big “penis” phase. Maybe we feel a bit emasculated by 911. I’m not sure. Maybe it’s an anti-PC backlash- groping women certainly shows that you arn’t bothered by PC bullshit like sensitivity. Anyway, we the quality we are looking for right now is “cocksure”, and Arnold’s got plenty of that. > > I can only speak for my generation, but this is what I’ve seen. A desire for "coolness’, Anti-intellectualism, a poltical platform that reads like a high school pep rally and penis worship have combined to convince many people I personally know to vote for Arnold. \*\* Second of all, as they say on _Car Talk_, BO-O-O-O-GUS! Why exactly are you so convinced that America is a nation of penis-envyers? How insightful of you to notice this! Oh, our reactions to September 11 had nothing to do with the 3000 dead, it was because we felt “emasculated”. Thanks for that. I didn’t vote for Arnold because I thought he’d be a decent governor, but because I’ve got penis issues. Yep, that’s us Americans all right. Emasculated men worried that the world thinks we have small cocks. That’s why we elect who we elect. It’s not Democracy (well, Republicanism), it’s Freudian! :dubious: I bow down to your wisdom, madam! Show me the way away from the evil penis-cult that is American politics! ---

Great use of “cocksure” by **sven**. Just thought I’d point that out. ---

Arnold’s just following in the footsteps of Clinton. Charismatic, likes the ladies. And you’re an idiot, **even**. ---

May I just say that I think penises are indeed quite nifty? 😃 “I can only speak for my generation,” puh-leeze! As I am not the Spokesman for All Gay Men, **Even Sven** is not the Voice of Her Generation; at least I certainly hope for the nation’s future she is not. Most of her rant is just second-hand feminist claptrap, but she does have a point that anti-intellectualism and celebrity appeal played a strong part in the election of Arnold. He never really said what he had planned for California so people can’t claim they were swayed by his ideas. They can’t say they were impressed by his record of public service, nor that he had performed well in previous elected posts. My own private opinion is that Ashton Kutcher enlisted Arnold and the people of California in a special episode of _Prank’d_ to air during November sweeps. ---

As a member of the referenced generation, I kept wondering why I voted No on the recall and opted for Bustamante over Ahnold. It had nothing to do with my concerns about his experience, politics, character, etc. I basically just picked one at random. Now I realize it’s because I have enormous genitals. ---

That is his appeal. He’s a cock and he said he’s gonna give California a good old fashioned fucking and that’ll fix everything. America is really in to the wang thing right now. we are electing penii left and right. George Bush is one of them. We don’t want a leader. We want a big fucking penis. ---
