Don't Vote for This Man.

[Jason Tate]

Arnold is a fraud (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/05/27/MNG9UCVOCH1.DTL).

[OurHeartAttack]

Don't you think, in California, you'd find a million genuine potholes to fill, instead of, you know, making one? Crazy Arnie.

Yah, dumb bastard coulda come to my street!

[kylekillspeople]

politicians dont do anything geniuinely anyways.

[thedudeabides]

Good to see Arnold acting again.

[I Miss Weezer]

Good to see Arnold acting again.

Good one...points to you...

[Frank Giaramita]

haha, imagine just walking out of your house one day and spotting Arnold Schwarzenegger tearing apart your street with a shovel.

[Paul Tao]

Arnold is the lesser of many evils, but he's still bad

[Jason Tate]

haha, imagine just walking out of your house one day and spotting Arnold Schwarzenegger tearing apart your street with a shovel.
As long as your name isn't John Conor .. I think you'll be fine.

[NorthofSD]

Ya but at least Arnold knows how to act better as a politician then the other douchebags before us

[kevanu]

pos governator

[GAD_guy]

yeah well common sense would have said don't vote for him the last time and somehow he still got elected so it's worthless to even try to appeal to the masses to keep him out of office. he could probably go on a killing spree and still get re-elected.

[Paul Tao]

Schwarzenegger is supporting the Million Solar Homes Bill that the organization I work for is lobbying for, so at least he's got that.

[splitsecond]

Tate, shut the fuck up. The Dems RAN YOUR FUCKING STATE INTO THE GROUND. I agree this is kind of stupid, but jesus, at least arnold is trying to do something besides raise taxes.

[justanact]

seeing as I don't live in California, I don't have much of a choice.

[IAmNietzche]

arnie's filling in of a pre-dug pothole seems almost as pointless as this news post

:asshole:

[justinevans]

haha the state elected a non-american born actor.......you deserve what you get.

[I Miss Weezer]

haha the state elected a non-american born actor.......you deserve what you get.

I don't think that point is very valid, or even good for that matter.

[Mitch]

Since when do people react to something like this the same way they would react if someone killed somebody? Big deal. He did something wrong, and stupid, but harmless.

[IAmNietzche]

I don't think that point is very valid, or even good for that matter.
well maybe not as it stands, but with a bit of tweaking...

"the state elected a non-american born actor/bodybuilder/all-around-meathead who starred in such intellectual films as "Junior" and "Jingle All the Way" and who makes all his decisions based on how hard Maria Schriver twists on his ballsack... they deserve what they get."

[Total Silence]

he wasted money on digging a giant hole and then re-filling it. he is a moron.

[IAmNietzche]

he wasted money on digging a giant hole and then re-filling it. he is a moron.
it isnt wasted money if he got the publicity, which he obviously did

[GAD_guy]

Tate, shut the fuck up. The Dems RAN YOUR FUCKING STATE INTO THE GROUND. I agree this is kind of stupid, but jesus, at least arnold is trying to do something besides raise taxes.

of course a guy with a bush icon would say that.

[ForeverInADay]

god. you guys are such girly men.

haha sorry i couldnt resist.

[giantasinrobot]

he wasted money on digging a giant hole and then re-filling it. he is a moron.
tate is a bigger moron for being a liberal and posting his opinions as news. go to the forums with it.

plus its NOT that big of a deal at all.

[kidinthecorner]

His point was just to dramatize his efforts to fix the state's roadways. That makes him un-voteworthy? It was a big commercial, and it got everyone who read it's attention. The only thing wrong with it is that some anti-governator wrote it out to be some huge crime.

Nobody has to read the article or the posts for this forum--but you chose to idiot. Fuck every stupid person who can't live with someones opinion. My opinion about politics--everyone's wrong, we're all fucking stupid.

[Trainsaw]

He's a piece of shit anyways, at least CA is forgiving because i don't know if he woulda gotten elected anywhere else w/ his previous antics

hmm, i think his main point is that while valid, tate's opinions are better suited for the forum and not for the front page news, it is not only unprofessional, but also contradictory as i remember tate bitching about caleb posting irrelevant news not too long ago.

[LPMagic]

Wow, a politician comes off as a fraud! You've got to be kidding me. I thought all politicians were genuine, sincere, and did exactly what the people want them to do.

[IAmCountryMusic]

the best is when he said because women bitch so much, we should destroy the moon so they cant have menstral cycles.
because of the moon he has to hear women bitch.

[djUbilla]

It's a publicity stunt. Everybody calm down. He's not a fraud. He's just trying to bring attention to a bill he wants passed.

[Spooky]

exactly... it said it wasn't even tax payers money used for the event, so no one should care. He can do what he wants with his own money.

[redxluckyxcharm]

why is he a fraud? Oh because he didn't get california into tons of debt? ya i would be pissed to if i had a governer who doesn't screw over californians.

Yeah, I don't remember the movie. It's just a great quote from Conan.

he is also a natzi simpitihizer

[thisenvy]

If you don't like someone, don't vote for them. And for gawd's sake, VOTE for who you DO like and stop complaining if you didn't vote. You know most of the complainers here in California were the ones that voted for A.S. in the first place. I didn't vote, so I have no right to complain. People need to get over the things they don't like and work towards improving the causes they DO support. We don't get anywhere by complaining, not to sound like a hypocrite by "complaining" in this post, but seriously. Stop. Think. Act.

And to "chuckmagnum," poster above, learn how to spell. Going to school is a privilege here in the U.S.

this is his site though, he can post whatever he wants. who are any of you to tell him he is wrong. that's like walking into someones house, and telling them everything they're doing is wrong. that's not your place. i dont get why no one seems to understand that.

[ParadigM]

Yea, instead, lets vote for the bastard who took our $50 billion surplus and turned it into a fucking deficit. Are you a god damn retard Tate? Oh, and lets not forget that our State Legislation, the majority of which are dems, voted to RAISE THEIR INCOME. And it passed. Good going Tate, your party sure knows how to solve problems.

[Pooavenger]

No shit he's a fraud. I could have told any of those retards who voted for him ages ago.

Oh man, that was too funny. I also liked the part where he talked about how seeing all those young people standing in line wearing matching uniforms brought out his Austrian soul. +scene points to you and the dude above for some good ol' Coney Bone (you love those nicknames, don't you Mr. President?) goodness.

[11casey]

Here we go with all the politial bullshit on AP.net.

It's nice to know that news of staging pothole filling and punk rock news go hand-in-hand.

[Ryan Mills]

California can shut it's mouth about bad roads. I'm sure it's so awful in the west with, you know, the nice weather season round; I'm sure that just destroys the roads. Come drive up here; it's a joke.

[HailTheHartBrak]

Wait. So he is a fraud and we are not supposed to vote for him because he uses his own money and time to bring support and attention to a bill that he wants to pass that will improve california's transportation systems?

[here2alkaline]

when you tax and spend and spend wisely things work. some people can argue what the role of government should be and i understand that. the problem with california pre- arnold was we decided to go conservative and de-regulate our power. guess who got to sell power back to us after that ? ENRON. awesome. soes your gray davis and you've just had billions of dollars stolen from you, what are ya going to do? i honestly feel bad for the guy sometimes. he very well could have made a run for office in washington. oh well. oh ya go see the movie Enron: "The Smartest Guys in the Room" or read the book by Bethany McLean.

[mewithoutyou]

Uh first of all, is anyone here a transportation engineer? Maybe it's possible that in order to fix a street and repave it, you would need to break up some of the old concrete. I see this happen by my house ALL THE TIME.

Secondly, when did anyone point to the hole and say "This is a natural pothole, look how big it is." From what I read they just repaired the street and used it as a sign of what they intended to do.

The only negative comments I read were from people who said "Yeah, but there's a bigger pothole up the street." or "Yeah there were potholes, but I mean like, they weren't THAT unsightly." which basically sounds like a bunch of stupid people with an agenda to discredit Arnold.

[I'm_A_Waste]

I used to be a city worker in Illinois and one of my main jobs was to repair roads. Often times if there was a large crack off of a small hole we would dig up the entire area to prevent future spreading of a freshly repaired crack. I don't know if this was what happened here or if Arnold was just trying to prove a point, either way no tax money was used so I don't think it's a big deal. I'm not much of a politician and I didn't vote for the "governator" but I have been fairly impressed with him so far. Ryan, I have never been to New Hampshire, however I do live in San Diego and we got graded with the 2nd worst roads in the nation a few days ago (Kansas City was first)... I have popped 2 new tires in the last 6 months from hitting unmarked holes. We are fortunate to have good weather but our roadways suck balls. And to the people bitching about this being a non-music post: you could tell that from the title, you made the choice to view it, so don't complain. That's my two cents.

Oh, and mad props to darren for the Conan comment, you rock bro.

[Don Trump]

I've decided not to like Schwarzenegger becuase everyone else doesn't.

[BlinkFoundMSU]

exactly... it said it wasn't even tax payers money used for the event, so no one should care. He can do what he wants with his own money.
soooooo, whose money was it? god forbid he would use his own money to tear up a street, only to fill it in again. look at the picture, those city construction workers were on the clock, getting paid with taxpayers money. publicity stunt gone suckward

COME ON! he made a pothole, then he made a publicity stunt to fill it in! the taxpayer money he used to make the pothole, and the taxpayer money he wasted filling it in makes this a no brainer dipshit move. there is no justification for this at all!

[infmoe]

I don't think that point is very valid, or even good for that matter.

I think he meant that you vote for a "non-american" and do you expect him to take care of a country thats not his own? So therefore "they get what they deserve." Once again, this isn't what I think I'm just reiterating and assuming what someone was trying to say.

[imirish06]

I could've told you this as soon as he registered as a Republican.

[infmoe]

He's a piece of shit anyways, at least CA is forgiving because i don't know if he woulda gotten elected anywhere else w/ his previous antics

Holy shit! That thing in your profile has had me laughing for 7 minutes now and still counting.

He didn't make a pothole.

There were potholes on the street. He tore up the street. Filled it with new pavement. Never did he or anyone make a hole in the ground, call it a pothole, then claim to have filled the pothole.

The only person who refers to the "digging" as "making a pothole" is the newspaper writer & Jason Tate and his disciples.

it isnt wasted money if he got the publicity, which he obviously did

no but its a waste of money in the eyes of the taxpayers.

i don't think youre any more informed on this news post than I am. unless you can provide verifiably proof that he didn't make this hole, you're just standing up for a douchebag.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger traveled to a quiet San Jose neighborhood Thursday, and filled a pothole dug by city crews just a few hours before, as part of an attempt to dramatize his efforts to increase money for transportation projects.
now shut the fuck up.

bend over, MEWITHOUTYOU - here it comes:
Porrovecchio and his business partner, Joe Greco, said that at about 7 a. m. they became fascinated watching "10 city workers standing around for a few hours putting on new vests,'' all in preparation for the big moment with Schwarzenegger.

But their street, he noted, didn't even have a hole to pave over until Thursday morning.

"They just dug it out,'' Porrovecchio said, shrugging. "There was a crack. But they dug out the whole road this morning.''

"It's a lot of money spent on a staged event,'' said Matt Vujevich, 74, a retiree whose home faced the crew-made trench that straddled nearly the whole street. "We still have the same problems. Everything's a press conference.''

did you even read the article?

[buysoap]

Wait.... like, as bad as he may be.... what is wrong with fixing potholes? they damage your cars...

[kidinthecorner]

Everyone acknowledged that they dug up the street, BECAUSE OF THE CRACK. You don't just fill a crack, it'll spread again. That's the point.

[mewithoutyou]

I know you are probably feeling very proud of yourself, so I will break this easily.

i don't think youre any more informed on this news post than I am. unless you can provide verifiably proof that he didn't make this hole, you're just standing up for a douchebag.

A hole was made. BUT IT WASN'T A FREAKIN' FAKE POTHOLE. It was made to repair the damn street that had a crack in it.

did you even read the article?

Did you? That same idiot you quoted went on to say:

"There was a crack. But they dug out the whole road this morning.''

Does this idiot know how to fix a road with a crack in it? Is he a specialist? Or is he just some jerk who wants to badmouth Arnold for fixing a street?

Case in point, since when has making a 10 x 15 foot hole to repair a city street been known as attempting to make a fake pothole??? How many 10 x 15 potholes have you seen out on the streets? Are people this desperate to find something to criticize??

[Brooklyn Kid]

My opinion about politics--everyone's wrong, we're all fucking stupid.
quit trying to be "against everyone" you fucking loser.

all i said is that hes a fucking idiot for posting it on a music news website. thats what this is right?

go create your own blog or some shit for your opinions. maybe if this site was "absoluteliberal.com" it would justify this post.

quit conforming to what everyone has to say or being against everyone and form better opinions. because no we are all not stupid. only you in this situation.

sorry i have balls.

very true, ill give you that. And thank you for being civil (because I know I wasn't very civil with my post, but I really get irked by people who just don't respect a person's opinion)
i respected his opinion, i called him an asshole for putting it on the main page. its irrelevant to music.

[myfirststereo]

I think this was blown out of proportion. It didn't come out of tax payers money. It was just like a groundbreaking ceremony except he was, figuratively, "breaking ground" on his new bill. In my opinion, the article did a good job at slanting against Arnie and mentioned the facts like it not being out of the tax payer's pockets at at the end briefly.

[giantasinrobot]

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.

She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it's my fault."

i think this post and thread is the funniest thing i've read all day. the different expose's (i dunno how to put an accent over the e, thats supposed to be ex-po-zay) of the human soul and emotion really make you happy to experience life. that someone can post their opinion and have it turn into a variable blood bath of words on the internet is amazing. as whatshisface said, we all are pretty much just fucking stupid.

instead of fighting on the internet, we should be living. we should be experiencing our life to the fullest in our own forms of happiness and not worry about things like this right now. life isn't too short, there is plenty of time to worry later. why not go out and enjoy your moments? read a good book, watch a good movie, enjoy a good person's company. stop fighting about stupid potholes.

this may sound like new age propaganda bull shit, and it probably is, but think about this: if when you die, there is no afterlife, and no anything, would you really want to have looked back on yourself and watched as you got so angry on an internet forum over semantics of "absolutepunk" and "absoluteliberal" and screamed about the differences between a fake pothole, a giant hole, and a crack in the ground?

that's all i have to say out of my retarded head.

yeah, i sure wouldnt mind looking at .,.. oh possibly three minutes... that i spent calling a liberal an asshole.

because lets see, ive been alive for almost nineteen years which is roughly 9986400 minutes. so really... 3 minutes is not that much of a difference.

besides, i find it really awkward you know me so well and that im not living and experiencing my life at all.

haha, i didnt say that. in fact, out of most of the posts i read on this, i enjoyed yours the most. i'm more referring to the earlier people that really got worked up over the whole ordeal. maybe its just me, but i read that article and when i finished i said "...what was the point of it?" we critisize arnold so much, but not that many people are doing much to do anything, except sitting and bitching and complaining, or running behind him with signs when you know he doesn't care. no one listens to the protests, they just say "look... another one." i'm not telling you you're not living your life how you should, i'm just saying that having a giant argument on the internet over something like a pot hole publicity stunt is ... well, stupid.

i'm giving love to the California from IL reference. does everyone from here give you shit about the midwest, or is that just LA?

nothing to do w/this post, but on sports center (espn) they just said 'what conor o'berst is to bright eyes, edgar renteria is to the red sox.' yea, buddy.

that's pretty sweet. not to stir up any anti-TBS sentiment, but i think they made an Adam Lazzara (sp?) reference about taking back sunday once too. them sports center writers....on top of their game

if staging filling a pothole is going to be your reason not to vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger as the governor of your state, then you need help.

Who the fuck does Jason Tate think he is to tell me not to vote for someone? Who people should or shouldn't vote for should be left up to each person to decide own there own. Not for someone who thinks they know everything. What a little bitch...

[ActorInThisPlay]

He's still better then that tool we had before, Gray Davis. Man that guy was a loser. It's just a pot-hole, not that big of a deal. Let's call it The PotholeGate Scandal.

I know you are probably feeling very proud of yourself, so I will break this easily.



A hole was made. BUT IT WASN'T A FREAKIN' FAKE POTHOLE. It was made to repair the damn street that had a crack in it.



Did you? That same idiot you quoted went on to say:

"There was a crack. But they dug out the whole road this morning.''

Does this idiot know how to fix a road with a crack in it? Is he a specialist? Or is he just some jerk who wants to badmouth Arnold for fixing a street?

Case in point, since when has making a 10 x 15 foot hole to repair a city street been known as attempting to make a fake pothole??? How many 10 x 15 potholes have you seen out on the streets? Are people this desperate to find something to criticize??

exactly, great point...

[tommyhaych]

Good to see Arnold acting again.

haha, excellent sentence..

[thewebguy]

there was already a crack though, they may have overdramatized it but don't they have to tear it up some to really fix it?

[justinevans]

I don't think that point is very valid, or even good for that matter.

Yeah it is actually. California used to lead in state's economy, now it has quickly become worse and worse.

California has become a joke. What were Arnold's qualifications?

like oh my god, i can't believe the creator of this website has an opinion and states it on here. I mean, seriously, just fuck freedom of speech or the right to have an opinion. Nobody has to read the article or the posts for this forum--but you chose to idiot. Fuck every stupid person who can't live with someones opinion. My opinion about politics--everyone's wrong, we're all fucking stupid.

No, there is a political forum. Why should he have the ability to put it on the main page, but no one else can?

nothing to do w/this post, but on sports center (espn) they just said 'what conor o'berst is to bright eyes, edgar renteria is to the red sox.' yea, buddy.

So Edgar Renteria is...the Red Sox?

How about what Conor Oberst was to the Faint, Freddie Mitchell was to the Eagles....kicked out.

Who the fuck does Jason Tate think he is to tell me not to vote for someone? Who people should or shouldn't vote for should be left up to each person to decide own there own. Not for someone who thinks they know everything. What a little bitch...

Jason Tate is God. I swear he was elected as the Pope.

hailing from Massachusetts, I can assure you that nobody else has priority over us in roadways needing attention. I'd love to see Romney take something like this up as his agenda, but he's too busy campaigning for the 2008 presidential election.

you've never been to new jersey or florida.

[MidniteVulture]

Wait, you mean that a politician is performing a publicity stunt!

Well golly, that never happens!

true, new jersey roads suck. especially the parkway.

[justinevans]

dude, when I am in Florida for school. I swear they dig up roads to dig them up and cause havoc...leave the pipes on the side of the road and just sit around and laugh.

I guess none of you have ever been to Michigan, especially around Detroit. More potholes then a pot that is filled with holes. And that's a lot of holes.

[MidniteVulture]

I guess none of you have ever been to Michigan, especially around Detroit. More potholes then a pot that is filled with holes. And that's a lot of holes.Jesus, Michigan is horrible with potholes... I don't know if you've been on 96-S around the junction onto 94, but that entire area is just a sketchfest, I feel pretty uncomfortable every time I hit it.

any major city is going to have potholes dude. philly roads suck ass, new york city suburbs suck ass, memphis tn is terrible...

big citys (which san jose is a major city in CA) are going to have road problems, because of the amount of traffic.

but ive been in detroit for hockey, and yeah, those roads were bad.

dude, when I am in Florida for school. I swear they dig up roads to dig them up and cause havoc...leave the pipes on the side of the road and just sit around and laugh.
ive been in jersey a few times, but again, the amount of traffic in jersey is ridiculous.

no wonder the roads suck.

I think they are doing construction on 96 still. Hopefully they'll actually fix it this time instead of patching it up like usually.

i've heard, but detroit is pretty shitty all together. At least they are trying to rebuild downtown.

Ah, nice. I'm from LBI practically. I have family all from Philly too.

haha jason is a ***

[xPaulWallx]

i wasnt going to read every response to this thread, so i do not know what anyone else is really saying about this article, but i just wanted to say that i have worked road construction before and the part where it describes the crack in the road being torn up by workers to make a hole, only to be filled by Arnold and workers and then get steamrolled, etc. is a standard road construction procedure. the article is making it seem like the road did not need to be torn up and only was torn up to create a pothole to be filled, when really a big long crack in a road always has to be torn and dug up, thereby causing a huge "pothole", before it can be filled again to make a smooth, better road. when people just fill in a crack or hole and do not dig it up and create a deeper hole, the road damage is more likely to reoccur and the problem is not really solved, because it is originating deep below the road. so i really dont get how its that bad what the article is saying, its not like it was all faked to make him look good, i'm sure they did fix the road in that one area and did the proper procedure for fixing a big long crack in the road and the fact that the bright lights are there and stuff is not that weird or "fake" either since we all know politicians do shit like that all the time, like when presidential candidates have 100 flags behind them or kiss a baby to look good. arnold is not any more fake than any other politician i feel, and the article is phrased poorly so it seems like the road was torn up so arnold could fill it when really it had to be torn up to best fix the road. i'm sure he will do alot to fix california roads and like some people were saying before, california is only so fucked up now because the democrats got it there.

[Modus Operandi]

fuck democrats
