Schwarzenegger Won’t Say Whom He Voted For

Email this item Email    Print this item Print   

Posted on Nov 2, 2010

The former Mr. Freeze is playing it cool in California’s 2010 election.

California’s current governor refused to tell reporters whether he voted for Democrat Jerry Brown or fellow Republican Meg Whitman in Tuesday’s election. Schwarzenegger has not endorsed either candidate for governor.

Los Angeles Times:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cast his ballot in Brentwood on Tuesday morning, but he remained tight-lipped about who he voted for to succeed him.

“I will tell you all about it later on,” Schwarzenegger said as he entered a polling place at a school with wife, Maria Shriver.

Schwarzenegger has declined to endorse fellow Republican Meg Whitman or Democrat Jerry Brown, saying he wanted to avoid offending anyone as he focused on fighting Proposition 23, the ballot measure that would delay his signature environmental achievement, the state’s landmark climate-change law.

Well, earlier I tried to relieve the tension with a
joke but it looks like the joke is on America.  It’s
slightly after 10pm, EDT, and I have been watching
the gloating on FOX News about the Republician
landslide.  The narrator(don’t know his name. I
don’t spend a lot of time watching FOX) referred
to the election results as “miraculous.”  Well, we
will see how miraculous the results will be over the
next two years.  You can thank many television
ministers for contributing to the election results.
They have access to millions of voters.  I think these
false teachers have only demonstrated how close we
are to what the Bible calls “the great tribulation.”
They like to talk about abortion and homosexuality
but for some reason they fail to hardly ever mention
“greed.”  It looks like Scott is going to be governor
of the state where I presently abide, Florida. The
man is ignorant.  On a television commerical he said,
“What’s wrong with America is the politicians.” I
about fell out of my chair. I thought, “Doesn’t this
guy realize that if elected he will be a politician?”
At least my friend, Joe Manchin(Democrat), looks
like he is going to be the next senator from West
Virginia.  I’m thinking of enduring the long cold
winters by leaving Florida and returning to West
Virginia. I hate sounding so pessimistic but I’m
afraid the future looks bleak for the common people
in America.

Schwarzeneggar wasn’t such a tough guy on this one, not openly supporting any
candidate. He probably voted for Brown because now he knows it pays to know
what you are doing. Do a google search for Correct Thinking, choose the first
choice on top, and maybe you’ll learn how to make better decisions. Too bad
Schwarzeneggar didn’t. He might have been a better Governor.

Well, I did my civic duty. I voted.  I told the
guy at the polling place the following joke:

I heard a story about hillbillies living up
in the mountains talking about their wives. The first guy said, “My
wife is so stupid she bought a refrigerator and we don’t even have
electricity.” The second guy said, “I ...can top that. My wife is so
stupid she bought a washing machine and we don’t have running
water.” The third guy said, “I got you both beat. My wife is so
stupid she dropped her purse and lots of condoms rolled out and
she doesn’t even have a penis.”
