Praetorian Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 In case your not up on things, the next Govenor of California is going to be Goveror Arnold Schwarzenegger. He won the recall vote w/ an estimated 54%. (i'm not sure if the final number is in yet) The best part was that current Gov. Grey Davis told Californians to get behind their new Govenor and leave the recall behind.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Arnold's fans are wearing shirts saying :"Hasta la vista Davis" and his bus is called "The Running Man". He won in a "Recall" election (puns intended) Maybe his campaign should have been called "The Governator 2: Election Day"
Havoc Stryphe Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Yep, it's official. Arnold is the official terminator of governor Gray Davis by winning the total recall election. This last action hero for school funding has turned from kindergarten Cop to Governor. From the beginning of his campaign, Arnold has surged forward, and like a commando, has attacked Gray Davis's politics. Of course, there for a while, Arnold was dogged with allegations of sexual misconduct, turning the tables and making the predator the very one hunted. Arnold made a statement calling these allegations only 'half-truths, saying his behavoir was only 'rowdy movie set behavior', in essence claiming these allegations were true lies set up by Gray Davis. Arnold's campaign seemed to lose momentum under the intense Red Heat from women's groups, but by the sixth day Arnold still had the lead in the polls, turning the allegations into just collateral damage to be dealt with later. So after 150 gubernatorial candidates ran for office, this running man had all the right stuff to ensure his election through the end of days and his voters jingled all the way to the voting booths. Now californians can only hope that Arnold's tenure as governor doesn't end up like Gray Davis junior or they could be looking at the recall-election twins, and they'll all be wishing they could find a big enough eraser to wipe this page from their history books or forever be stuck with conan the politician. And yes, I just wrote all that. You can either praise me or pity me...
Praetorian Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 It really goes w/o saying. You've got some real writing skills.
Snafu7 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 well the only thing I think he'll have problems with is pronouncing California. "I want to become Govoner of Californana."

Artoo Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Can I praise and pity you at the same time? Is this deemed acceptable? How about laughing and lauding? You speak the sooth after all.
Darth Homer Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I was gonna try to make a punny post, but after Havoc's....I just can't beat it...helmet off to you, Havoc
darthfergie Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 /applaud Havoc I was thinking about doing something similar to that..but it wouldn't have flowed like yours. Good stuffs.

Plus, Terminator 4 and Conan The Barbarian 2 were in production, and now we have to wait like...3 years before he starts shooting those. Also I movie where he was going to play a hitman...damnit...RECALL HIM!!!!
Sherack Nhar Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 The thing is, TK-421, is that Arnie doesn't owe anyone 'entertainment'. He can do what he wants with his life... politics were never meant to be entertaining. I won't judge him until I see what he and his team are capable of. By the way... Don't make fun of his accent. It's not nice, at least he tries >_>
Young David Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 His accent makes him cool ... I bet I have a cool accent too
jediduo Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Sherack is right, TK. He doesn't owe us anything. I'd like to see you do as much as he has. nice post, Havoc. You had me rolling.
Link Antilles Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 All I can say about this is: Life's funny.
Surfnshannon Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Hey - Clint Eastwood was a Mayor of some town. It can happen. Besides. Its about time to have someone different that the usual standard in office. We may be CA but we kick ass!
Jared Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Originally posted by jediduo Sherack is right, TK. He doesn't owe us anything. I'd like to see you do as much as he has. alright....lol...you have a point. If he fixes california, I will be happy. I do look forward to seeing T4 however...tho 3 years from now I will be in my second year of college.^_^ All is cool, as long as he does what he promised he would do to fix california.
Sherack Nhar Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I highly doubt anyone can "fix" California. And I'm surprised that people on this board actually believe it is possible o_o
another_trooper Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Originally posted by Sherack Nhar I highly doubt anyone can "fix" California. And I'm surprised that people on this board actually believe it is possible o_o Then again, others dont. . . Good one havoc ! btw
jediduo Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Hey now. Certain parts of CA are bad, but don't lump the whole state in. I lived there for a little while, and I'd move back.

Politicians solve problems and create others... that's how it works!
jediduo Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Oh. Oops, my bad. California as a country....... ?

We seriously know that here!
