March 15, 2007, 8:09 a.m.Goes to show that anybody can get elected to any office in the U.S. even somebody who is bipolar. No wonder the U.S. is mocked by others.

March 15, 2007, 8:19 a.m.I wasnt familliar with the california recall and the Enron scandel being connected. If thats true its just another exampple of the scummy evil republicans (in power) tactics to rig this countries leaders at the peak of their power. Thank God theyre falling hard these days.
But I kinda get the sense the documentary tries too hard to smear Arnold, possibly discrediting the actual facts presented.

March 15, 2007, 10 a.m.Do you have any idea just what bipolar is saneman? Have you ever lived with someone who has it? It is perfectly treatable with proper medications. I have also seen someone have it for a year and then disappear. Please don't think the US is being mocked by this, they have plenty in the oval office to mock.

March 15, 2007, 10:30 a.m.First off, I am not a buddy. Working with someone and actually living with someone with bipolar are two different things. Was this person unproperly medicated? If a person is medicated you would never even know they had this disease. If you want to stay away from these people then you must want to stay away from many other people as well. The only hope right now is medications, like alot of other illnesses, because they do not know the cause. Just simply un-educated, you and Tom Cruise. And when you say ALL AMERICANS, speak for yourself, not me.

March 15, 2007, 10:37 a.m.I love to nail the "dysfunctional, narrowminded, bigotted A**holes". They use terms like retard, ex: Retards are People that use that word are the real retards, then the people they target. {ex: retard is a term for someone that doesn't know the phrase "mentally challenged"
I live with and helped raise a "Bipolar, mentally challenged step daughter. So why don't you people go back the the abortion clinic your parents found you in.
Hey, I'm just getting started

March 15, 2007, 10:44 a.m.I do not think they teach you specifically about bi-polar in law school..................do they?

March 15, 2007, 10:52 a.m.I'm sorry, I can only respond directly if I am told directly. you never said you have a brother who is a doctor and that you took pre-med did you? It doesn't matter anyway, you are still rather ignorant. Did they teach you mind reading in college as well?

March 15, 2007, 10:55 a.m.Decided to forego medical school in hope of finding intelligent people. Are you insinuating that doctors are not intelligent? The patients you would have treated need to thank their lucky stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 15, 2007, 11:17 a.m.What's supposed to be a chatfest about the article in question "Running with Arnold". Has instead turned into a juvenile tit for tat name calling, half-assed pedantic flamefest.
Par for the course
Stick to the subject at hand kids and stop picking on each other or you'll be sent to your rooms without desert.

pattif
March 15, 2007, 11:24 a.m.I agree with you, but this idiot does not have the slightest clue of what he is talking about. This happens to be part of the story about Arnold. Perhaps you should go to your room, with dessert of course!

March 15, 2007, 12:44 p.m.Arnold has been good for Cal-eee-fornia and he is learning.
Another documentary made by America haters to make some money ... and they're the "good" guys, right?
I kinda respect Alec for wanting out. But I still don't like his politics.

March 15, 2007, 1:36 p.m.You guys are flippin hilarious! I could have attended Law school but I passed on that b/c I didn't want to join a group of people who think they know everything and are willing to bend whatever rules/laws to prove it. Plus I started my own business so that you "know-it-alls" wouldn't blame me for being a bad, bad single parent and choosing my career over my kid. I'm very happy, thank you. If you're so confident about it (superiority) you shouldn't need our approval to confirm.
THis forum is just a sword fight b/t people with big egoes making up for their other shortcomings..... And that wasn't directed at everyone but if you take offense then it was probably meant for you!
We all know that just cause you're booksmart doesn't mean you can rub 2 quarters together and make any sense. They don't teach common sense in school, sorry to say. You either get it or you don't!

March 15, 2007, 1:43 p.m.And you'd be surprised at how many people are actually bipolar. Doesn't mean that you're a bad person! Hopefully you've talked to your doctors openly and been diagnosed and treated.
My Aunt suffers from this but she is taking medication that controls it. She has a great job and a happy life, thank you very much.
The problem with this country is they like to place people whom are treated for mental health issues below those who are not. The difference b/t them and you is that they have the balls enough to face that something isn't right and discuss it with a doctor. So do us all a favor and face the fact that even if you were unstable - you'd put what everyone else would think over your own good and try to ignore it. Thus, temper tantrums on internet forums!

March 15, 2007, 3:18 p.m."The California electorate turned a blind eye to the fact that the action star had no demonstrable ability to run a state. Nor did the voters flinch at Schwarzenegger's questionable history with women..."
What the big surprise, Clinton got elected twice and he had no history on how to run a country and a highly questionable history with women (those he raped, slept with and married).... by the way does has anyone figured out why wild Bill married the ugliest lesbian he could find?
