We should never elect anyone who lived a life of big, easy money.

I tend to agree, although George W. Bush was raised wealthy (or maybe that makes your point, depending on how you view "W"). I would also point out that Arnold's father was a policeman in Austria who always told his son that he would never amount to anything, that his brother was the one who would make something of himself (can you name Arnold's brother? I can't).

Nobody gave Arnold anything. He came to America a broke immigrant, and literally worked his ass off to become Mr. Olympia, the highest title in professional body building, seven times.

Which leads me (and perhaps you) to wonder - WTF anyone who had to work hard for everything he ever got (until of course he married Maria Shriver), be a LIBERAL?!?!? That's the piece of the puzzle that doesn't make any sense to me.

About George Bush. I like what he has done, except I disapprove of his neglect of duty on the borders and his lack of using the veto pen on democrat programs and spending. So, yes. he is a case in point.
I have the same puzzlement about Arnold as you do. If we are going to have a budget crisis in a couple of months, why didn't he stand the line with the democrats and have the crisis long ago when we weren't so near bankruptcy? He is a great disappointment. I think he is not a deep thinker and gets swayed by the Kennedy name and wants to fit in.
Now he wants to be in the Obama crowd. I think he is dizzy from having his head in the clouds (fog).
I appreciate your thoughts.
