You seem to be ignorant of the separation of powers. Presidents are limited in their authority. But agreed, Putin is the man, and that's why he can do what he wants. He's a strong leader with the means to his ends, unlike president pussy.

Do you not think he's laughing at Obama? Give me a break.

I'm curious what you guys think. Are celebrities qualified to be leaders of the free world? Why are conservatives so inclined to support them?
so california is a conservative stronghold

The point is you like Putin for things that stand in the face of what it means to be American. Things like authoritarianism, war mongering, oppression of minorities, etc.

Oh for sure. Putin is absolutely wrong for going in. A smart country would pull out and cease to be involved. That doesn't mean he's less of a man. Putin is more manly than obama could ever hope to be.

I know a lot of liberals that were big fans of the Governator. I think it's just name recognition and a voter base that doesn't really participate in politics beyond the surface. And again that goes for both liberals and conservatives.

If I endorsed leaders based on their manliness, I'd have ripped the Bernie Sanders sticker off my car and replaced it with that of Genghis Khan.

so california is a conservative stronghold
There are Republicans in California, just like there are Democrats in Texas. Arnold ran as a Republican, and Republicans voted for him. Reagan ran as a Republican, and Republicans voted for him. Donald is running as a Republican, and from the looks of things, Republicans are going to vote for him. Whether or not Democrats also vote for him is not the issue I was bringing up with this thread. I was pointing out the Conservative worship of wealth and celebrity status.
There is a reason Republicans run for office in California.

you do realize that just because someone has an R behind their name, doesnt mean they are conservative, right?

I'm betting infinitely more than you realize that a D beside someone's name doesn't make them a liberal (or its apparent synonym: socialist).
