Changes

'''Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger''' (b. [[Graz]], [[Austria]] 1947) is an [[Austria]]n-[[United States of America|American]] actor, politician, [[steroid]]-enhanced [[bodybuilding|bodybuilder]], and businessman, who served as the 38th [[RINO]][[Governor]] of [[California]] from 2003 to 2011. [[Anti-Trump]], Schwarzenegger unsuccessfully replaced [[Donald Trump]] on ''The Apprentice'', resulting in a ratings collapse of that show. More recently Schwarzenegger has devoted himself to nonpartisan [[redistricting]].<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/bill-whalen/article138898898.html</ref>.

In complete disregard of the [[First Amendment]] rights of [[Trump]] supporters, Schwarzenegger absurdly compared the protests at the [[United States Capitol Building|Capitol]] on January 6th to brutality by [[Nazi]] [[Germany]].<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-compares-capitol-riots-132443688.html</ref>.

 After sitting Governor [[Gray Davis]] mismanaged electric power deregulation and instituted a new registration tax by [[executive order]], infuriated citizens initiated a petition to place a measure on the ballot to remove him from office. Despite [[Democratic]] predictions that the petition would fail, it was delivered to then -Secretary of State Kevin Shelley with more than the required number of signatures. In accordance with the law, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante became Acting Governor and called a special election for October 7, 2003.

Despite supposedly being a "[[Republican]]", he holds some mainly [[liberal]] views. He is a supporter of [[gun control]] and [[environmentalism]]. He is a staunch supporter of a law that mandates the use of Californian taxpayer money to fund [[stem cell research]] - which is the cloning and killing of human embryos for experimentation; he is also [[pro-abortion]]. Arnold officially approved an [[assisted suicide]] measure , allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and [[starve]] depressed or confused individuals they consider to be "[[terminally ill]]."<ref>[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76713 California approves nurse-assisted suicide] Worldnetdaily, October 02, 2008</ref> . (Compare [[euthanasia]].) Governor Schwarzenegger also campaigned against the famous California [[Proposition 8]]. He married [[Maria Shriver]], a famous journalist who is a member of the historically liberal [[Kennedy Family]]. Because of these and other policies , he is often referred to as a "[[RINO]]," a "Republican in Name Only" , by many [[conservative]] real [[Republicans]]. Other sources have labeled him a "California Republican," meaning that his political policies are conservative but his views on civil liberties lean to the liberal side, reflecting the general attitude of most Californians. During his time as governor, the debt of California continued to balloon, forcing the state to pay IOU's for a period in 2009. Due to the budget crisis's under his tenure, Republicans lost the state to [[Jerry Brown]] in the 2010 Gubernatorial election. It seems that, overall, Schwarzenegger might be considered a borderline [[RINO]].{{citation needed}} ==See also==* [[List of Conservative or pro-Conservative Hollywood stars]]* [[Conservative media#Hollywood Conservatives|Hollywood conservatives]]* [[Essay:List of celebrities who support the Second Amendment]] * [[List of celebrities against Second Amendment]]
