Film stars going into politics

His father was a Nazi
He has molested journalists (not any old women, god knows what he's like behind closed doors )
A republican who is pro-choice, supports gay rights, and endorses 'reasonable' gun controls and environmental regulation... Is this not getting the best of all worlds riding the reupblican popularity wave with democratic values... Or possibly just someone cashing in on vote winners?

You'd of thought the Americans would of learnt... Bush is thick as fuck and he's running the country into the ground... Whats a beefcake like arnie going to do?

His political education comes from celeb type politics who are better at schmoozing with the media than coming up with good policy... his links with the kennedy and bush families... two political families famous for milking the media for everything its worth.

This is a case of a beefcake cashing in on his popularity... he couldn't run a bath.

no no, it was about his life, how he started in austria, moved to london and joined this gym, interviews with the old geeza that trained him, let him stay at his house, trained him so that he won those first few mr universe contests. how when he came to london he was skinny and weak. how he got his first film in 'hercules in new york' they were talking about his character - how he's a determined man, knows what he wants, very focused and friendly. it was really good and put him in a good light.

looking for badgers, groping women, taking drugs, going to lapdancers, lying, stealing... the list goes on, slimebags u might think, but lets be fair the vast majority of men in country have done at least two of these.. so if a politician/shalbrity does this why are they portrayed to be 'sleazy' or 'malign'? such criticism would be understandable and justified if this country was in fact true to the 'morals' on which it is supposedly built on and championed by the likes of 'the sun' and the 'daily express/mail'..

this country is built on hypocrites and hypocritical opinions, many people desperatley need to take a reality check or a hard look at themselves. The activities taking place in average front room of clubber x after club y on a friday or a saturday morning is more than conclusive evidence of this. Bolox to 'their in power, they have to set an example', people (tabloids) are making personal attacks on politicians therefore it is brought down to that level, irrespective of said politicians power or postition.

if that makes sense

find myself agreeing with shaun... if it was a one off - fair dos - he does his punishment and he would find it easier to be forgiven. but he's done it repeatedly. over many years. that's a character trait - not a mistake.

yeah, but politicians effect us DIRECTLY in what they do. they run the country, make the laws - we need some morals/standards for these people. it's naieve (sp) to believe that they'll be squeaky clean - no ones perfect - but we should strive to be as close to perfect as possible. imo.

wooa. i'm getting a bit carried away here... cig break.

celebrities going intop politics mmmmm no unless they have a real interest and good policies i cantr see this being a good idea! Arnie prime example for a start hes running for office in america the worlds largest circu we all know that poloticians over ther from top to bottom are totally corrupt granted there may be a few who are as yet untarnioshed by any allegations the majority are blinded by greed and are simply yes men ..... arnie with his intellectual bulk would obviously fit quite niceley in hear???? What a load of complete tripe..... the guy has no idea about polotics , no idea about how to bwehave towards women , no idea hiow ridiculous him running for office actually is so he will probs be voted in by the ever so gullable american public ! Go arnie 250lbs opf muscular codswallop his brain is probably comparable in debating issue terms to that of a dinosaur...... another example of how america is infact ruled by hollywood ...... ASTALAVISTA BABY!

My word, Arnie's not got many fans on here

Looks like I've been taken in by his wholesome good guy film image

Shame on me, shame on Arnie

and you, you visit the tynside a canny lot - i thought u would have known better. edumacated and all that.

in the words of arnie "he had to split"

he groped a journalist...

he's a sex pest...

Solid points.

Give the guy a chance before you start to put the boot in.

group sex ain't against the law though...well... it probably is in some states, but it's not on the same level as groping, which is criminal. and he's done it loads. my point is it'll be hard for people to trust him - no matter what his debating abilities. especially in 'god fearing' america. i don't wanna sound against him cause i think he's mint. his films are mint and he's a canny funny bloke. but what he's done is against the law. we'll have to see if he gets taken to court over any of the allegations.

nice to meet u friday brid!

WHAT?!?

How can you compare someone reposonding to an egg being thrown at them to a sex pest who grabs every tit in sight?

He's a sex pest.

i never said that - people won't be able to trust or have faith in him. other people are able to control their urges.

Look at the facts:

Idiot
Sex pest
Son of a Nazi

Hardly govenor material!

His policy isn't logical - it is just a collection of vote winners... He's a clown.

Every tit in sight!

Joe you make him out to sound like some some demonic sex hound!

How much is romour who much is truth - the fact is you don't know for sure! So why jump to the negitave and brand him a beast..
