Yup… Reagan is the exception to the rule. In general celebrities and actors are uninformed about politics and generally gravitate to the Left. Their cinema popularity or lack of it rarely makes them thoughtful spokesmen for the issues of the day.

Its a good reminder of why the GOP should never have pushed him to run for Governor of California in the first place.

Sorry but this shows that he at least has still got a head for figures. Too bad he couldn’t harness that quick wit to the benefit of his state.

Eh, just your typical Arnold…

I’ll admit I liked Schwarzenegger and his goofy sense of humor back in his bodybuilding and Hollywood days. Plus he seemed to really appreciate America and all it gave him. But becoming ‘Goobernator of Gawlifonia’ changed that. Actually at first I thought he ran as a Liberal Democrat not a Conservative Republican (sadly it seems my instinct was right).

Don’t know what happened Arnie. What got in the way… ego?… outside influences?… or maybe that need to feel ‘in with the clique’ overtook the will to do what’s right?
Or was that just the real you all along?
I sort of feel sorry for you.
In with a bang, out with a whimper.
Put out to pasture…no one’s looking back.

I’m taking bets that Ahnuld switches parties and does an Arlen Spector “I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me.”

(Ronald Reagan is the exception to the rule).
“The exception proves the rule” means “the exception tests the rule.”
