Don't get me wrong about the impeachment thing. As a private citizen I was and still am thrilled that Clinton will forever be tainted by impeachment.

But it was a bad political move by the Republicans. It was seen as vindictive and partisan by most Americans, and they should have know it would be. There is no way they could not have known. Pragmatic Republicans like Arnold and many others knew it. And especially for Arnold, there is no way he could have survived in Hollywood if he didn't come out against it.

But now that the bar was set so low as lying, the Democrats will forever be looking for anything they can construe as a "lie". Just look at the stupid uranium flap. A dangerous precident was set by the articles of impeachment.

Simply getting Clinton shouldn't be good enough, it needed to be getting him on something GOOD. And we just didn't get it.

I'm just pissed because I would have liked to see Clinton AND Hillary hang for murder, money laundering, and treason.

But look, I'm not saying that Arnold's opposition to impeachment is a reason to support him, I'm just saying it isn't a reason to not to.

Actually...and to be perfectly honest...a Republican relieving himself in a public bathroom is seen as "vindictive and partisan".

However, you're wrong about it being seen that way by "most Americans", that's how it's portrayed in an obviously liberal dominated media.

You probably aren't a conservative. We don't consider punishment for crimes from the point of view of how an uninvolved third party might perceive it as a valid viewpoint.
