Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biographer, Joe Mathews, reports that the California governor considered leaving the Republican Party a few months ago.

(Via Hot Air.)

We can learn a bit about Schwarzenegger’s politics from his own words:

“I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“That was another thing I will never forgive the Republican Party for. I was ashamed to call myself a Republican during that period.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Clinton impeachment

“My relationship to power and authority is that I’m all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger in a 1990 interview with U.S. News

“I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1977 film Pumping Iron

“You have to do everything possible to win no matter what.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“I was born to be a leader. I love the fact that millions of people look up to me.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“The public doesn’t care about figures.”
