You really need to abandon your ideology. I don't like Franken so you
assume I'm Republican. I'm a registered Independent.

Well, I could care less about Arnold. FWIW, if you only get your
reality from TeeVee and ideological sources, I can see why you'd have
that opinion of the man. He's also known for being a highly successful
businessman long before he becames famous, and reaching the pinnacle of
a sport that requires enormous self discipline. He more than meets the
founding father's requirements of citizen politician.

Whether he turns out to be a boon or disaster for California remains to
be seen. I prefer to give people chances... an alien concept to
idelogues, I know.

But he's on the "other side" therefore he MUST be a groping demon who
only makes action films. Sad. Really frigging sad. 

So who should people vote for? More career politicians? Oh boy! We
certainly need more of that. Will you make the same disparaging
comments when "humorist" Al Franken runds for office, which he has
threatened?

Blah blah blah Limbaugh, blah blah blah Hannity... Te opposite poles of
the Franken/Moore ideological field. To hell with them all.

Remember, kids, Towlie says, "Always remeber to bring a towel to
political chats. It lets you wipe the spittle off your face from the
rabid ideologues."

You might want to learn about REAL facism, kid, before so blithely
tossing that word around.

There's that weird idea again, that "hatemongering" means calling for
death. To be a hatemonger simply means trying to arouse hate in people
for something. 

Great Hera, people, does everything have to be painted in bold strokes
of pure black and white? Is there NO grey in your palette at all?
