You dismissed a range of other candidates just because you didn’t know their
names. This suggests that your vote is based on celebrity or notoriety in
preference to substance; that’s hardly unique to you, but it’s hardly a
commendable trait in a would-be informed citizen.

Honestly, I dismissed most of them for pretty much the same reason - I didn’t
know their name simply because they were not seriously running for governor.
And let’s add to that I dismissed the names that were similiar to better
known people but that I knew were not them. One other name got into the
press occasionally, Mary Carey, but let’s not go into her (OooooOOOOooo, can
I say that on Lugnet?). :-)

There’s a difference, I think, between ignoring anonymous also-rans and voting
for someone just because he blows things up onscreen, which largely appears to
be the case re: Arnold. The anonymous also-rans could easily be dismissed for
their failure to put forth a credible plan of government, but then we’d have to
dismiss Arnold on those grounds, too. And no one else aside from Arnold had the
money or the free ride given by the press corps.

If you’re talking that Hitler crap just drop it. My own view is those who
brought up this are thinking they can pull off another David Duke incident.
It won’t work. I sure haven’t seen neo-nazi videos or photos with Arnold.
|
Let me get this straight--rather than discuss an issue with real relevance
to Arnold’s character, you’d prefer simply to drop it? That hardly seems
consistent with the mentality of an informed electorate.
|
I’d say simply drop it, too. Even my ultra-liberal friends dismissed that
issue instantly because it was so obvious that the quotes were taken out of
context, as did I. Events proved that assumption to be right.
|
Well, that being the case, I withdraw that objection, except to add that, had
Clinton even acknowleged ever hearing a taped speech by Hitler, The Liberal
Media would have ravaged him for years.

“My friends don’t want me to mention Kurt’s name, because of all the recent
Nazi stuff and the U.N. controversy, but I love him and Maria does too, and
so thank you. Kurt.”

Guilt by association? Or expression of ideas?
|
Maybe I’d just like to hear what Arnold and Maria “love” about Kurt.
Anyway, “guilt by association” is more than ample cause for Ashcroft to detain
people incommunicado indefinitely; maybe he should lock Arnold away for a few
months...
Dave!
