And here's why. There's too much evidence that shows me that if I didn't know better, I'd say Schwarzenegger is wearing a nicely fitting Hillary mask.
Remember when Bill Clinton was under the attack of the right wing conspiracy and Hillary called it? Her popularity went crumbling down. Every time she opened her mouth, this happened.
Remember 2005 when Arnold called special elections for California? All eight propositions lost and his popularity plummeted. Every time he opens his mouth or say, does something, he becomes unpopular.
Well, now how did these people get elected then? If actions and leadership are verbotten to their political livelihood? Hmm...let's see. What did they have in common: great political prowess? no, that's not it. An appealing likeable personality? Well, Hillary 'the ice queen' and Arnold 'the lady groper' doesn't win any blue ribbons. What is it then? What is it about Hillary CLINTON and Arnold SCHWARZENEGGER that got them elected?
The answer of course, to turn John Lennon's phrase, is they're bigger than Jesus. Everything else is chopped liver.
Now what about to do about that pesky public that seems to get upset when you speak your mind or back legislation? It looks like our ice queen has followed in Arnold's footsteps: she's not taking a position--on anything.
She says she's the anti-war and pro-environment candidate. Really? I did a google news search on her and John Edwards. I found John Edwards' call on the American government to accept the G-8's challenge to reduce carbon emissions to 50% by 2050. Clinton's google-news results had pages of endorsements, but no statements on her positions. Finally I got past the endorsements. To stories of how much money she's raised. Still no position. To give her the benefit of the doubt I went to their respective websites.
Edwards' top 5 headlines included: 'Edwards accepts G8 challenge,' 'Edwards statement on Supreme Court Decision on Home Care workers,' and 'Edwards urgers Attorney General Gonzalez to resign.'
So over to Hillary's own pressroom on her website. 'New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez Endorses Clinton for President,' 'Michigan Leaders Endorse Clinton,' and finally the juicy 'Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus endorses Clinton for President.'
Well, Arnold and Hillary have the same fever (My viewpoints and subsequent actions are unpopular) and have written themselves the same prescription (Don't show leadership. Just stay popular)
Who woulda thought? An Austrian body builder and a former first lady members of the same club. I tell ya, I'm glad THIS Arnold wasn't the one responsible for humanity's survival in 'Terminator;' he might have made a decision that was unpopular, and let the machines tear John Connor to shreds.

you are brilliant.
I heart you.
Isn't it so sad that John Edwards, who is not gainfully employed by the United States in any position (yet) is willing to take on the G* challenge, but W, Hills, and the rest just wave their arms and point to themselves and declare their presidentiality? And since when has being popular been on Hillary's "to do" list? Truly, you go, Girl.
