Amend the Constitution for Arnold
If the Gropinator were a Democrat would they consider amending? At the link - click on contact and tell them your thoughts. How do you feel about amending the Constitution to allow foreign born to run for President? I'm against mucking around with the Constitution at this time. Maybe in the future - I don't know.

1. Republicans running out of marketable people?
Seems they can only run grade B actors and neer-do-wells for President. Whatever happened to people who spent their years in public service?

I know one thing, my dad's generation who fought and died in Europe to stop fascism would be rolling in their graves if they could see that this Republican Party's best hope is running the son of a Nazi for President in 2008.

2. I was talking with my family about this this weekend...
....and 200+ years ago, the 'natural-born' citizen requirement made sense. We were a young country and didn't want someone from England, Spain, France, etc., coming here and becoming President.

I don't think it's as much of an issue today. However, amending it for Ahnold is disgraceful.

On the bright side, tho, we got Gov. Granholm in MI.

3. Arnold can take his Hitler praising, racist behind back to Austria
People would have to absolutely be insane to vote Arnold for President.

4. Dont want it.
I dont think that amendment would get passed, I dont think the majority of the republicans want it done either. Mainly because it would open up for any foreign born citizen to run, and in the future it could really come back and bite us in the ass.

6. I don't think the religious conservatives in
the rest of the country would ever vote for an ex-porn actor (though they voted for an ex-coke-head, so who knows....) Nevertheless, they need to leave the freakin' constitution alone!

8. Bullshit. Doesn't the GOP realize this guy is a HOLLYWOOD ACTOR.
Aren't they the lowest form of vile stool matter. In this case, I believe they are right. Fuck Arnold.

9. They don't hate Hollywood...
They just wish they had more Hollywood personalities on their side. All Republican actors would become eligible for sainthood.
