I believe that these are credible arguements concerning the charges. After all the searching, this is the best shot they could take. Look Schwarzenegger admits some improper activity. That's why I'm not willing to dis these charges completely. I do not want to get into the position of trashing women who come forward unless it is very clear that they are making suspect charges. On the other hand we can't just destroy a man's political career on charges that cannot be substantiated or rebutted in a couple of days.

He didn't drop his pants and not one of them have claimed he did. It's high-minded nonsense. I've been tapped on my rear and groped several times and the ones that truly annoyed me came from creeps, and I slapped them. End of story.

A lot of the things the women are accusing him of seem pretty trivial, situations most of us have endured at one time or another...crude words or minor passes. And we've handled them and then forgotten them over the years. Others seem outrageous, like the things he supposedly did in front of many. Others have been refuted, many are anonymous. He admitted to bad behavior, probably meaning a slap on the butt or joking words. Not the best behavior but not criminal for sure. I'm afraid my father (long a political strategist well-known in a few Calif. counties) could have been prosecuted for similar mild actions if this is the standard we now have...He was a very friendly and affectionate person who hugged everyone and appreciated women and said things possibly taken wrong but they were meant in fun. But if this is all they have on Arnold (along with the very phony Hitler quote) after all the research & money paid out, etc...well, it isn't much.
