You’re dodging Don

You said: Fact is, California may elect a bodybuilder/actor for its next Governor. Mr. Swarzenegger, as nice a guy as he may be, is entirely unqualified to run a state government with a budget of almost a $100 billion dollars. The man knows how to pose - which is the point of the picture - but that's about it.

I say: You post a nude picture and then make a blanket statement that says he is not qualified, no facts, no insight no nothing. All I’m asking is how did you come to that conclusion…. then I showed examples of others that had no real experience in big time politics before taking political office including Bill Clinton. To say Clinton was qualified to be president would be equal to saying Huey Long was qualified to be President.

Then you say: Excuse me but our nation's constitution gives me an inalienable right to judge who I regard to be qualified for public office or not. And, it is my responsibility as an American citizen to make such judgments. Its why I have a perfect voting record.

I say: Yea I know what the constitution says Don; you’re missing the point. What qualifications other than being a normal run of the mill American citizen with a constitution behind you do YOU have to come to the conclusion that he is or isn't qualified for the job have you held a high level position in government before? Or do you really have no concrete reason to think that, maybe you just think and say he’s not qualified because he’s running as a Republican? I smell partisan politics here and it stinks.
