Irate,
Your #4 destroyed Arnold's chances right there.
Austria was not a US friendly country when he immigrated. It was primarily nuetral with leanings towards the Soviets.
I said it before I'll say it again.... if we have to look outside our country to find a leader we are doomed.
It won't stop with that amendment, people will then find a new person in the future who is beloved and has political aspirations, and by setting the precedent they'll change the amendment for that person....
It is fucking ignorant to change the amendment based solely on a popular opinion. Look at Prohibition.... have we not learned a damn thing from that experiment? The populace wanted it at the time.... it was a great event when it passed.... but the people wanting it did not consider anyone but themselves, not their peers not future generations. Just themselves.... and that is what we would be doing.... hell that's what we're doing with this "marriage amendment".

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
