"Rock" Johnson aims to imitate Schwarzenegger's political success

Boondock Saint 03-18-2004 10:23 PM

Ha, wow. Interesting. Wait and see I guess.

BasicThuganomics 03-18-2004 10:25 PM

he's running for the govener? Or maybe he was joking around about possibly running for Governor someday?

Rock Bottom 03-19-2004 01:33 AM

Whoa. I made a joke with my brother about this happening years ago. "Wouldn't it be funny if The Rock became a polititian?"

"The Rock says this. Iraq, you wanna deny the UK access to your chemical weapons chambers? Well The Rock is going to get on a plane... Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to Iraq... Take those WMD's, shiiiiiiiine 'em up real nice, and stick them straight up, your arab ass!"

And then we continued discussing The Rock cutting promos at his debates.

I'd love to see him give Castro the People's Elbow...

lol @ the thought of a Rock-Schwartzenegger battle for governor of California. It would be awesome and depressing all at the same time.

Kane Knight 03-19-2004 01:59 AM

Rocky'd prolly be asked to put Arnold over.

Boondock Saint 03-19-2004 02:01 AM

It'd be great if he talked in the third person.

Could you imagine Bob Dole in a ladder match?

Kane Knight 03-19-2004 02:07 AM

All the Viagra in the world couldn't get him up there...

John la Rock 03-19-2004 02:13 AM

Rock: "Osama Bin Laden! The Rock just whooped your Al Quaedo roody toody asses and crushed your defences and captured your candy ass. What do you have to say for yourself, you jabroni?!"
Bin Laden: "You infidels--"
Rock: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!!!"

Rock for Governor ? That would be weird. With the fan base that he has this would be the best time to do it. I bet that more fans would vote for him because of wrestling then what ever his views were.

The Rock Says He'd Consider Politics

Associated Press

<!-- begin body-content -->WASHINGTON - Could there be another President Johnson in the White House one day? The Rock isn't ruling out that possibility.

The action star and former professional wrestler, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, spoke at both the Democratic and Republican conventions in 2000 to encourage people to register to vote.

When AP Radio asked whether he'd like to enter politics himself, he said: "Possibly, you never know. Maybe one day. Absolutely. ... I talked to Arnold (Schwarzenegger) about that, too.

"We'll see. One day, maybe President Johnson," he added with a laugh.

The Rock's new movie, "Walking Tall," opens April 2. It's inspired by the 1973 original about real-life Tennessee Sheriff Buford Pusser.

Jesse ran on more than just "star power," considering he didn't have the mainstream appeal that Arnold was riding on. I mean, half of my friends don't even recognise Jesse, but everyone knows the tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhmanatah...

The Rock, on the other hand, has starred in a couple of movies, he's one of the guys people think of when they think wrestling...

He could run on catch phrases...

Vega 03-20-2004 05:24 AM

On the main page it says "Rock heading for white house?"

He's not native born, is he? If not he couldn't become president.

#1-norm-fan 03-20-2004 05:31 AM

... The Rock was born in the United States

CBright7831 03-20-2004 08:15 AM

The Rock is a Republican, so watch out.
