Schwarzenegger says he never considered presidential bid
-----------------------------
Associated Press
Posted on Sun, Feb. 27, 2005
-----------------------------
SACRAMENTO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he never thought about running for president, denying he's the reason behind talk of amending the Constitution so immigrants can occupy the White House.

"I don't think the idea is that all the push is because of me. I mean, I have never thought about running for president, and this is not my vision," Schwarzenegger said Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

(snip)

"My goal was not to run for president. My goal was to run for governor, to become governor, and then to reform the system and to do the kind of things that no one wanted to do because it's too dangerous in politics to do."

Lawmakers have proposed amending the Constitution to let immigrants run for president after being citizens for 20 years. Schwarzenegger, an American citizen since 1983, has said previously he supports such a measure.

4. Oh Bullshit!
Whenever a Republican opens their mouth, Lies vomit forth! Bus had "no plans to invade Iraq on my desk" Thats cause the only thing on his desk is comic books but he had plans to go to war before he was even selected. Nothing these people say is EVER the truth! Once you understand that, it's real easy to understand their agenda.

6. what a liar Mr. Steroid Junky is
He's repeatedly said he idolized Hitler.

We know all too well what went down the last time an Austrian got control of a world power.

NEVER AGAIN.

8. Ass Smoke From The Austrian Joke
He's probably right , though. "President" just seems so tame when your real dream has always been to become Fuhrer.

12. Arnie, said "Why not shoot for the top" in response to wanting to be pres,

In fact in his movie, Pumping Iron, he actually talked about wanting to be a Dictator! Oy vey!

We had better get those damn machines out of the voting process or the Grope-a-nator gonna continue on his trajectory....for the good of the country, of course.....yikes
