Some political operatives assume Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Nazi background" could haunt him in a potential gubernatorial campaign, but it's clear the actor and bodybuilder has rejected that part of Austrian history.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Wiesenthal Center, said Schwarzenegger has been a generous donor to the Jewish human rights organization -- "every time he does a movie, he writes a check" -- and has been granted its National Leadership Award for his humanitarian work.
"It's not a proud moment for anyone when you learn your father was a member of the Nazi Party," Hier said in an interview. "But Arnold is not his father, and Arnold has to be judged for who he is. I have always found him to be interested in the issues of the museum. He has been very friendly and supportive."

The more big the country is, the more they can design commissaire from their country. For example : France : 2 Commissaires Europ�ens, Luxembourg : 1 Commissaire Europ�en. And the Presidence of the Europe turns every six months. Since July 1st, Italy is the country that leads European Union. |

When they were filming one of the scenes for t3 one guy had a rather funny(in my jewish opinion) shirt concerning the jews as money lenders stereotype, but he was talking with some guy who was clearly a neo-nazi type and he booted both of them from the set(they were just manual labor peeps.) He said it was distastefull and almost got really pissed off. I dont know if he was afraid that it would be bad for his image or what, but it was really funny :P
It's going to be an interesting election. I heard that the original recall process was put in place to give power to the people in case "special interests" had undue influence over the governor. It's ironic that it is a special interest in the form of Issa who has taken over the process.
What about Riodean (sp?) the ex mayor of LA. He could beat Davis in a straight fight and easily in the recall since Davis needs 50% to avoid recall but Riodean only needs a plurality to get elected.
BTW the bid ask on a bet for Davis is about 0.17 to 0.24 cents on the dollar
This is going to be fun.
You know what they say... Hasta la vista Davis

Originally posted by rizen  wow i love that pic. darrell issa spends 1.7 million of his own money to start the recall against davis. he decides to run after the recall is offical, today he backed out, probaly because of arnold now running, while crying like a little bitch on tv.   |
Well, although I think there are far better candidates than Davis I'm personally against the recall election. I think it's silly to hold a $60 million dollar election to recall a governor when the issue largely at hand is a budget crisis. It's not like whoever is going to replace davis is going to wave a magic wand and magically cure CA's deficit. At any rate, one example of the idiocy that occurs with direct democracy ... another being prop 187. Screw greek democracy, the romans had it right.

arnold supported 187
arnold was part of energy meeting with ken lay (former ceo of enron), and richard reardon during the energy crisis. i wonder what they talked about

| Q: Could California have problems with hanging chads as Florida did in the 2000 presidential election? A: Yes. Seven of California's 58 counties, including populous Los Angeles County, will use the same type of punch-card voting that caused the trouble in Florida. Under a court consent decree, counties are required to junk the punch-card devices by the March 2004 primaries but won't have time to make the change before the recall election. A pending federal lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union asks to delay the recall vote until the punch cards are replaced. (link) |
hahahhahahahah
those are great
Official: California is a circus!!!!
Go Arnie!! Woooo Hooooo
Arnie has done it before and he can do it again. You should know that he wasnt always the tough guy that he is today. When he was about 16, living in (Austria or Germany, I forgot, LOL), he was skinny and he wanted to become an actor in Hollywood. Everyone laughed at him, but he had confidence and changed himself, earning the titles of Mr. Universe, The Terminator, and now possibly the ... Governor? LOL, thats too cool even to be said! Dont want to write his entire biography, but I got to tell you, its quite impressive. He's a smart guy, and he's got a lot of confidence. Even if he loses, dont expect him to just crawl back into his hole ...

| Mario Cancels Run for Governor Mario Party Activity Increases; 2004 Presidential Election Plans Still Undecided _ _ Video game pioneer Mario disappointed voters across the state of California today, confirming he will not be a candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial recall election. Instead, he disclosed plans to focus on furthering the development of the Mario Party, a well-established, alternative grassroots movement for people who want to see real action from their candidates. "The California recall election is too much of a circus, even for me, and I live in a world filled with Koopa Troopas and man-eating plants. Multi-player is good -- but this election is over the top," says Mario. "I definitely would have been the most animated candidate but, even in times of deep budget deficits, saving princesses has to take priority." Beginning Nov. 11, Mario will launch the next stage in the evolution of the Mario Party. His first act will be restoring peace to Dream World, just one plank in a long list of guarantees in the Mario Party 5 platform. Running exclusively on the Nintendo GameCube� ticket, Mario and trusted cabinet members Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, Luigi, Toad and others will take his message to the streets, campaigning non-stop across all-new game boards and through more than 60 free new mini-games. However, Mario remains guarded about rumors of a Presidential bid in 2004. "I've spent my life collecting coins, leaping over obstacles and fighting bosses, so obviously I have the necessary experience," says Mario. "But as all game players know, everything else must be put on hold until the limitless fun of Mario Party 5 is explored. Once that's done, I will make a decision." Since breaking onto the scene in the classic 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong�, Mario has successfully jumped between console, arcade and hand-held systems, starring in games that have sold more than 165 million copies. Like one of the better-known gubernatorial candidates, Mario is also a media celebrity and was born overseas. If he had continued with the race, Mario would have been one of the youngest gubernatorial candidates in California history. Because he dropped out of the election, Mario will not be disclosing his income or financial holdings, revealing only that he has enough money to buy all the Koopa shells he needs. Koopa shell options immediately jumped in after-hours market trading. |
