For the official record, I'm fully supportive of the idea of letting non-native peoples be president. In fact, I think it's such a good idea Democrats should steal it. First off, there's no real legitimate reason to not have it happen. There's no real threat. Even if somebody with a sinister plan had the foresight and fortitude to first be a citizen for, say, 15 or 20 years, I don't think there's much of a chance that he or she would be able to run for president for like a year and a half without us, you know, figuring that out. But here's why we should take it. Forget for a minute about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, first, remember that he's the vehicle by which we can get this done. And remember that there are a million different reasons why he may well never be in a position to benefit from this. Okay, now forget him again. Getting behind this sets us up as the party that stands for good things like freedom and opportunity for all Americans. We'd be the party that gets that America is most importantly an idea and one that exists in the hearts and minds of little boys and girls all over the world, that sort of thing. And then back to the Governor -- furthering the political career of a moderate, pro-rights Republican isn't the worst thing that we could do.
