STOP ARNOLD NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE IN 2008
|
This is the real ARNOLD ~ The flabby soft Arnold that is underneath the carefully manicured, coiffed and botoxed myth created by Karl Rove ( who has met with Arnold several times ) and Steve Schmidt ~ his campaign manager and a former top aide to Darth Vader himself ~ Dick Cheney.
Rove and Schmidt are preparing Arnold for 2008 when Arnold, as Republican governor of California, will be used much like he was in Ohio in 2004 to push Bush over the top ~ but this time he will be paraded around the country for the same purpose with a new Republican candidate and California will become a battleground state for the Republican party.
This is why Arnold must be terminated now in November or all Democrats will rue this 2006 election in 2008.
Amy Wilentz seems to have caught the true essence of Arnold in her recent book I FEEL EARTHQUAKES MORE OFTEN THAN THEY HAPPEN / Coming To California in the Age of Schwarzenegger. Simon & Shuster
" He was drawn to politics as another stage on which Schwarzenegger could perform and be watched, loved, worshipped. He's a pure narcissist ~ contentless, and in this way highly appropriate to his times. An uncontrollable element of egotism is characteristic of all who present themselves for very visible office, of course, but pure love of their own image is not usually the only element that propels them "
Wilentz rightfully saw his " Terminator for Governor " as pure evidence of the dumbing down of California but she makes some good points on why she mistrusted him ; " There were certainly political reasons to mistrust Schwarzenegger. His was a masquerade candidacy. Like so many political events in recent years, Schwarzenegger's run was potrayed as the opposite of what it was ~ the campaign pretended to be for the popular good when it merely furthered the status quo, alleged it would help the little guy when it clearly intended to make things easier and better for business interests, used the mask of tax givebacks and a ' no new Taxes ' platform as a populist cover-up for its corporate underpinnings "
We all got a glimpse of Arnold's thirst for power in 2005 when all his self-serving bond measures were soundly defeated. He took a quick step back to the middle but the hunger for power is still there in his cold eyes.
With his body getting old and betraying him ~ Arnold has found the golden elixir of political power and he will do anything, including sliding to the political middle, to hold onto and maintain that power. Carla Marinucci, S.F. Chronicle political writer, writes of this in her review of Outland Baker's book ARNOLD AND ME: In The Shadow Of The Austrian Oak ; " He would definitely be calculated and manipulative. His whole destiny was that he wanted to win " and it stemmed from what she believed was " a deep-seated need to prove himself " to an abusive , perfectionist father.
The highly respected Michael Carmichael writes in his THE SAYINGS OF ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ; 8/31/06
It is little secret that these Hollywood right-wingers strongly support both George Bush’s neoconservative foreign policies and the Democratic Party where they use their financial clout to promote Cheney’s wars in the Middle East against Islamic nations rich in oil. When approached by his agents, they did not hesitate to cross the partisan divide to support their dear friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican admirer of George Bush and a man driven by his naked ambition to emulate his childhood idol, Adolf Hitler, and become like his role model, an authoritarian political dictator.
In a clever but totally transparent series of maneuvers, Schwarzenegger has attempted to distance himself from the unpopular values of the Republican mainstream that rejects: abortion, gay rights and the theory of evolution. Self-proclaimed as a “moderate” Republican (as if there were any such thing) Schwarzenegger has designed his image to appeal to the mainstream of Californians who are, like the majority of Americans, tolerant, generous and understanding people in contrast to the intolerant attitudes that dominate the red states in the Bible Belt.
That said, over the years Schwarzenegger has made a number of statements that reveal: his lifelong affinity for authoritarianism and totalitarian government; his love of Nazi war criminals; his own messianic fantasies of political dictatorship and his adoration for his childhood role model - Adolf Hitler.
Born into a family headed by his father, a member of the Austrian Nazi Party, Schwarzenegger was inculcated with the values of the herrenvolk – the Nazi theory of racial supremacy of the Nordic and Germanic races.
Schwarzenegger indulged his fantasies of the master race and developed his own body into the physical specimen of Aryan supremacy modeled on the Nazi ideal of Germanic racial superiority.
According to reports from the crew of Pumping Iron, Schwarzenegger confessed his admiration for Hitler. Much worse. In October, 2003, ABC News reported Schwarzenegger’s admiration for Adolf Hitler attributing the following quote directly to him:
“I admired Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power. I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it.”
and his goal of being,
“. . . like Hitler in the Nuremberg stadium and have all those people scream at you and just being (in) total agreement (with) whatever you say.”
Moving beyond slavish admiration for Hitler, Schwarzenegger has made no secret of his messianic fantasies. Here is a direct quote that he has never even attempted to refute:
“I didn’t think about money. I thought about the fame, about just being the greatest. I was dreaming about being some dictator of a country or some savior like Jesus.”
and
“I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered.” Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1977 film Pumping Iron.
A confessed admirer of the world’s most notorious anti-semite and author of the Holocaust, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man who openly shares his vision of himself as a messianic dictator, now enjoys the generous political support of Hollywood’s Israel Lobby."
So there you have it, Arnold is on the ultimate power trip and will do anything to have his next posing platform be as the newly elected Governor of California in 2006.
Although Phil Angelides requested several debates, Schwarzenegger agreed to only one debate to be held on Saturday Oct 7th ~ at the same time as the baseball playoffs.
The masquerade is over ! California does not need an opportunistic power hungry Grade D actor playing to the masses ~ it needs a solid proven core Democrat , Phil Angelides, who has his hand on the true pulse of California.
Stop Arnold now before it's too late in 2008.
