I don't think any country, anywhere, should let foreigners run it.

What if that foriegner has lived there as a citizen, for 30 years?  I say there should be a timelimit, sure, but America is made of foriegners, that's part of our heritage and the country itself is only 200 years old.  So I think a citizenship time committment is in order, but ultimately everybody in America has foriegn neighbors, Arnold Schwartzenegger is just as much an American as I am, hell he's probably more of an American, he had to fight for his status whereas I was just born that way.

I wouldnt mind it. But i think there should be a time limit until you can run, just like the house and senate have.

but a longer limit.

This whole movement is seriously flawed.  I think arnold is a good politician.  He seems to be willing to surround himself with intelligent people, and make reasoned decisions based more on information than ideology.  I would certainly not be opposed to him running for office, and probably would prefer him over GWB as president.  Altho he is slightly lacking in experience, but then again, so was GWB when he ran, so yeah I'd take Arnold over GWB easily.

But, again this issue says a lot about republican double standards.  Why isn't the movement, "amend for equality" or something of that nature.  Instead, republicans are jumping on the "Amend for Arnold" bandwagon, and blatantly displaying their partisanship.  The whole idea of conservatism is to preserve the form of government the founding fathers chose for us.  The idea of progressivism is to push for changes, and point out where the founding fathers may have been wrong.  Republicans are ignoring their own principles because they have an all-star candidate.  If Arnold was a democrat, none of the republicans would support "amend for arnold."  They point out how the liberals are degrading our core values and you'd hear talk of how the dems are trying to let liberal european candidates take over our country.  This was always been a liberal issue, and its never seen the light of day, because it goes against the core republican ideology.  Now that it benefits them, they say fuck ideology, we choose power, and you all willingly fall in line.

I think we should amend the constitution.  I think we should have done it long ago, and for a better reason.  We shouldn't "amend for arnold" we should "amend for america."  But in a blatant display of partisanship, the conservatives, instead of saying "amend for a fairer america" they said "amend the constitution, because it will benefit our party."
