Here's why the Republicans have no credibility on issues.
The Toledo Blade today had a feature report on the celebrity heavyweights coming to Ohio to campaign--Bruce Springsteen for Kerry and Arnold Schwarznegger for Bush.

In the report, Doug Preisse, chair of the Franklin County Republican Party, praised Schwarzenegger because he "transcends party lines." At the same time, he dismissed Springsteen by saying "I don't turn to rock stars, although he's entitled to his opinion, for definitive advice on the future of the country."

Right, but we can look to Schwarzenegger for guidance, is that what you're saying, Mr. Preisse? Here's a guy, whose claim to fame is doping himself with steroids to the point where he looked like a mutation. A guy, whose claim to fame is groping and raping women as he became full of himself during his body-building days. A guy, whose acting career is pigeonholed into a series of movies that involve shooting up, beating up and blowing up everything in sight, while being limited to a short list of one-liners, like "I'll be back" and "Hasta la vista!"

Republicans always try to discredit Hollywood actors unless they're going to bat for them.

They bastardize trial lawyers unless they're pulling their asses out of the fire of the Valerie Plame case, or a possible drug conviction, or whatever.

That's why you cannot believe them.

2. And The Boss will say something good about Ahnold, too
That's why he's called "The Boss".

3. Looks like the makings of a good LTTE
A little trim here and there, and pull out a bit of the slang (but not all) and send it back to them.
