Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I'm not running for anything"
Los Angeles Times ^ | Michael Rothfeld | March 24, 2009

Posted on 03/24/2009 7:42:57 PM PDT by calcowgirl

California's Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has generally declined to discuss his future after term limits end his tensure in the state Capitoln January, 2011.

... Schwarzenegger, a Republican who's been discussed as a potential opponent next year for Democrat U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer said he's “not running for anything.”

... “Now I raised taxes, but I’m not running for anything,” Schwarzenegger said. “So I’m more comfortable with it because I’m not running for anything, because I know it’s the right thing. Even though I promised the people of California I’m not going to raise taxes, at the same time I said I’m not going to sign a pledge, because what if there’s an emergency?”

Asked if that meant he had ruled out a race against Boxer, the governor said: "When I say I’m not running for anything, that’s exactly what I mean ….. until you change the Constitution.” ...

Being born in Austria, any presidential ambitions for the Terminator are terminated by the U.S. constitution.

I will never forget the so-called republicans in this state who just could not get enough of drooling all over Schwartzenkennedy. Don’t blame me, I supported McClintock!

“...I’m not running for anything, so screw you guys! Enjoy your new higher taxes.”

Sure thing, Governator. The only good thing about you is you’re terminating out.

He could get together with Stallone to do one last big noisy action movie. Lots of explosives and gunfire and aircraft usage. Nobody trusts him in Sacramento like Stallone was always the underdog in his film role.

If they can still do it. Leave in a loud blast of fire.

"the California economy needs massive tax hikes"

All I need is two pairs of pants and two shirts to be REPLACED. There is nothing else that needs replacement. That's the way it is going to go as they want to go that way.
