On Arnold Schwarzeneggar's Speech

[Mr Manifesto]

I checked the first 3 pages of this forum to see if this topic had already been done, couldn't find anything that leapt out at me. If someone's already covered this, I suggest you use capslock for your thread titles in future.

Rob Lister, in this thread, said:

Actually, Arnold's speech was very, very good, IMO. He is a very talented speaker. I didn't much like Miller's speech. While he can whip up a crowd, I thought it was far too disingenuous (most democrats strike me that way). I liked Arnold's much better.

As a side note, if you told me twenty or so years ago (after I first saw the movie Conan the Barbarian) that Arnold had, or would ever have such talents, I'd have laughed myself silly.

Not very good, mind you, but very, very good.

Here is a transcript of the speech (sorry if the source is bodge, it was the first one I Google'd), you make up your own mind.

For my part, I'm afraid I can't sum it up much better than My Fighting Technique is Unstoppable

I didn't think the speech was too remarkable. It was, however, a damn sight better than that lame cartoon.

I said to my friend, "What party is [Nixon]?" My friend said, "He's a Republican." I said, "Then I am a Republican!" And I've been a Republican ever since!
