Schwarzenegger vs.......... Robin Williams????

Adoria · 08-19-2005, 08:31 AM

Ok, this in NOT a vs. thread. I would normally put it in the discussion thread, but, yeah, i can't.

Here's an article about coming elections in California

I don't think I could vote for Robin Williams, even as funny as he is. I'd be more apt to vote for Steve Jobs (don't tell anyone, since I put on this big "Macs-suck thing")

Did Shwarzenegger do ANYTHING in his term other than look good?

I know that no one reports his success but I only heard he made money to spend money which is kinda...

Well, he's an actor not an economist.

I don't think I'd trust Robin Williams with any kind of government. Except California, I've never seen anything good come out of California. Even my cousins there suck.

I suspect the election will be not Robin Williams vs. Ahnold, but rather Gut-bustingly-Hilarious Movies vs. Kickass-Action Movies. The celebreties are just representatives of such.

I'd take offense to that, but well, there is a lot that sucks about California. The idiots who voted the Governator into office in the first place is a prime example. Is voting for someone who's qualified such a radical idea to these people?

My parents came from California, thank you very much. But eh, don't worry 'bout it.

As for this Robin Williams vs. Ah-nold, as much as I hate to say it, Arnold actually has some political experience now. As such, he'd probably stand a bit better of a chance of getting re-elected if Williams actually does run.

I used to think this same way when it came to celebrities and political offices. And I came to this conclusion: Does a qualified candidate mean they actually care about the citizens of the state? Are they trustworthy? Do they take action when it is needed? I don't think I can say yes to any of those questions when looking at any political candidate, celeb or not.

I say vote 'em in. Why not? They aren't gonna cause the downfall of an entire state by serving a small term as a glorified mascot.

But ARNOLD of all people?! He's not that smart, articulate, or trustworthy. He had a second job, for cryin' out loud! If you were governor, I'd think running the state comes before working for a muscle magazine. He only gave that up because the people of California gave him hell about it (and rightly so). I, for one, wasn't surprised when he started to muck things up.

He was listening to the Kennedys. Of course he started messing up.

Paying off the debt by making money. But never underestimate the power of incumbency.
