In reply to the discussion: About that video from Arnold Schwarzenegger: [View all]Retrograde
(10,136 posts)31. Voted against him both times he ran
He was, though, capable of learning from his mistakes. As governor, he was no worse than most of his Republican predecessors, and better than quite a few (it's a low standard when you consider people like Reagan and Deukmejian). And unlike a certain current inhabitant of the White House, he actually is a self-made person.
He gave a very moving, heart-felt message that should have come from one of our current elected GOP officials but likely never will. I disagree with a lot of Schwartzenegger's positions, but I think he means what he says in this speech.

Well done, B F. I wish we knew much more of the migrations across the steppes of central Asia.

There's not much unifying without reconcilation. Let them confess and ask for forgiveness.
