It's easy enough to despise most Republicans without having to make stuff up. In this Daily Kos post, Kos (which rhymes with "Rose," thank you very much Kelly) criticizes The Governator for lying. Schwarzenegger says this:
The presidential campaign was in full swing. I remember watching the Nixon-Humphrey presidential race on TV. A friend of mine who spoke German and English translated for me. I heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism, which I had just left.
But then I heard Nixon speak. Then I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free enterprise, getting the government off your back, lowering the taxes and strengthening the military.
Kos responds:
The facts? There was no presidential debate in that election. Nixon never debated Humphrey.
But it sure is a touching story, regardless of its truth.
When did Schwarzenegger say "debate"? He didn't. We can't do this shit when we're criticizing our leaders. We can't put words in their mouths. They do it to us all the time, and we can't sink to their level. Truth, one way or another, will always prevail.
You want to criticize Schwarzenegger's speech? Criticize this:
There is another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people, and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: "Don't be economic girlie men!"
I believe in free enterprise. I believe in the resourcefulness of the American people. Hell, I believe the U.S. economy can rebound. But if your job went to Mexico or India, or your pay has been cut, or if you can't afford health care -- I guess you're a girlie man.
