Mary Carey wants to make the governor of California

[georges]

hey thanks georges. coming from you, that means a lot. i hate the governator.

I don't think he was the best choice for governor, but like many friends I know who live in Cali and near Cali said me: "Cali is a special part of the USA" seems to be right.
One actor made a more than awesome US president, it was Ronald Reagan. I really liked that president.

 

[KungFuDude]

what of thoughts? Mary Carey how much possibility has to be elect?

She never had a chance. In fact, she never really wanted to be elected governor of California at all during that recall election. It was just a stupid publicity stunt. A whole bunch of attention seekers ran for governor at that time, including Gary Coleman, Leo Gallagher, and Larry Flynt.

california sure is special. i wouldnt want to live anywhere else. visit yes, live no. as for reagan, i was just a tot when he was in office. i believe bush took over in 88. that would make me seven, but my parents have nothing but nasty things to say about him. i wouldnt know having been too young to know what was going on. you are actually the first one who said something good about him. to me at least. what did he do good out of curiosity. i cant get anything out of my people.

the recall election was nothing more than a witch hunt. it was a low point in california's history. at least arnie can not be president. he wasnt born here.

 

[Irony]

nah she shouldnt become governor

Reagan bumped America's Economy to the highest level (the dollar was at its highest value under his presidency), created a lot of jobs, forced Gorbatchev to destroy the Wall that was in Berlin in Germany and that divided Germany in two parts (GFR/GDR), negotiated SALT treaties to reduce nuclear weapons and gave America a very positive reputation. He received more electoral votes than any other president in history, winning by 525 (out of 538) in his 1984 re-election campaign when he racked up 49 of 50 states in beating Jimmy Carter's vice president Walter Mondale.

His supporters credit him for restoring psychological optimism to an America that seemed in deep malaise in 1980 and for advocacy of economic laissez-faire over governmental control. In foreign policy his Administration is noted for the vast buildup of the military and change from containment of the Soviet Union to confrontation. Reagan was committed to the ideologies of democratic capitalism and anti-communism.

His ability to survive significant scandals—which resulted in criminal convictions of several Administration officials and staff—with relatively high approval numbers earned him the nickname "The Teflon President".

I remember when Daryl Isa, the guy that started the recall, and thought he was going to sneak into the Governer's seat with it,realized that Arnold was going to run as a Rep. candidate, and that there was no way in hell that he could beat him, he cried on camera about it! God that was priceless!

And Mary Carey running on the platform that she should have replaced Grey Davis because he just "wasn't fun enough", I'm sorry to say, was not good enough for her to deserve the office.

but didnt reagan trade arms for hostages? all you guys' points are good, but i heard he did this. i think it was with iran. my parents were democrats. so i know why they hated him, but wasnt he the guy that started all this economic rush? because of him, isnt money the number one thing in usa? i know he revitalized the economy, but the peoples hopes and spirits belong to the 1980 usa olympic hockey team. everybody knows that. i could be mistaken. like i said i was seven when he left office.

I've heard of the "The Teflon Don", but "The Teflon President" is new to me. :dunno: All I remember of Reagan was he loved to hear himself speak. God he was annoying with that. He interrupted the network primetime shows a lot to give his speeches and my Saturday morning cartoons virtually every weekend when I was kid. I hated him simply for that fact alone.

However, The die hard republicans will tell you he is the greatest U.S. President ever. To bad he put our country into this enormous bottomless pit of debt we will never escape from. Thanks Ronnie!

Ha, yeah I remember that. Arnold was pushing his new movie at the time and still managed to jump into the republican nomination lead without any campaigning yet.

I never got Ronald Ragan as being a great president either and definitely do not think he is among the greatest ever and absolutely do not think he is the best of all time. His economic policies might have been the worse thing about him. I guess if you were part of the rich elite you might have liked it. I think after all this time the whole supply side trickle down economics philosophy is nothing more than a scam to give even more wealth to the rich at the expense of everybody else. Then there are things like rising national debt. He might have been one of the most anti-union presidents ever. Also the fact that a big part of globalization and the push for free trade and shipping jobs oversees happened under his watch when that would have been the time to nip it in the bud. Now it would be hard to do. I'm still wondering where that wealth went that was suppose to trickle down to people like me. It must have evaporated on the way. He did nothing to cut our reliance on foreign supplies of energy like him and the couple of presidents before him should have after the gas crisis of the 70's. Add in the scandals that most of the presidents seem to have and I don't know what was so great about him. I will give him some credit for bringing down the Berlin Wall and the defeat of communism because a more timid and wishy washy person would probably of had a harder time with that. He is somewhere around the middle of the pack with people beign worse than him, and really that isn't saying much.

About Mary Carey, I would take her more seriously if she were actually serious about what she was doing. I wouldn’t have any problem voting in a porn star if they were a good person for the job. I do have a problem with somebody that wants to run for office as a publicity stunt.

and as for giving him "credit" for Russia's fall, OMG please. Gorbachev, anyone?

Actually, it was the various Soviet Republicans, including Yeltzin, far more than the federal Soviet. But one could make the argument it was that the Soviet could not "outspend" the US, and that led to the Soviet Republicans finally "having enough."

Reagan was probably miserable that America would have to seek a new enemy. And oh, how they did.

Nothing has changed in American policy. The difference is that the world no longer tolerates "American policy" now that the USSR is gone. No body likes two bullies, but typically most will get behind one. But everyone hates one bully.

Again, American policy hasn't changed -- Clinton was proof of that (most people here are young, and don't remember all the flak Clinton's actions got too). But there is no more USSR, so most people don't think the US should continue on with its "business as usual" of resource usage, national interests, etc...

That, more than anything, is the entire reason.

ive seen some of your posts that might qualify you as an idiot. that doesnt mean im going to say it. this isnt a poker table. english isnt the only language allowed. got it?

Such as? I'm not idiot, bro. I MAY make a mistake now and then... i'm only human... and its only an internet forum. But, that guy made no sense at all....



and i dont care if he is from italy... everyone in Europe speaks better language than half the people in the U.S. Plus, Italians are smarter than Americas. Except for the fact they are Catholic, allow the pope to be worshipped and allowed Hitler and his Italian buddy to rule.

I'll never knock ...

Someone who tries to speak English, or any other language for that matter. The attempt is enough for myself to respect.

I only speak one language fluently, although I've tried to use both Spanish and Japanese in my professonal endeavors (without much success).

I still don't understand what this topic is about. Is Mary Carey running for Governor again or something? Did she get arrested? What's going on?
