Some of the women who accused Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of groping them are disappointed by the public's ho-hum response to the claims they made just before last year's recall election.

"I went through a lot of emotional upheaval, and it really just wasn't necessary," said Tamee Smith, who said Schwarzenegger grabbed her breast nearly two decades ago. "Nothing came of it. And I look at it now and I think, 'What was the point?"'

If they could only imagine how Juanita Broadrick must feel.

But the leftists can't feel anyone's pain but their own. Despite continuously telling us they "feel our pain."

What was the point ? A grabbed breast 20 years ago has no point.

Exactly.

"Nothing came of it. And I look at it now and I think, 'What was the point?"'

Yeah. Don't we all. And I'm not even an Arnie fan.

It was all about accruing power for the (D) party. All the regret seems to be over the fact that Schwarzenegger won; clearly what they wanted was the (D) party to win. Since they didn't, the reaction becomes "what was the point?" Only if the (D) party had won, would it have been worth it.

I'm thinking the POINT was the "N" word, but different from the "N" word most people recognize. Ya know what I mean? To go with that "N", gimme an "I", Gimme a "P", Gimme another "P", an "L" and an "E". What's that spell?

Of course Bill Clinton's diddling women is old news. But what Arnold allegedly did decades ago remains relevant. Hey, its all about sex and its time to move on!

Doubtless her breast was brilliant at the time.

I know, I know, Californian's just don't get it. Well, evidently it's these women that just don't get it. Take the issue to the authorities in a timely fashion when the occur, and I'll support you. Wait until that person runs for office twenty years later and out him a few days before the election? Sorry babe, that's just stupidity on parade.

And these women think I don't have common sense? LOL

The point was to slime Schwarzenegger 3 days before the election and try and keep Davis in office. It didn't work.

Of course the only point was to harm Arnolds chances. Once he won these women were worthless to the movement and abandonded. The Davis people never actually cared about what happened to these women, then or now.

And yet they don't even consider if their last-minute allegations 20 years later were "inappropriate". We know their true motivation.

Her 15 minutes of fame only lasted 15 seconds. Darn, and she intended to parly it into a book and a movie.

I believe prompt addressing of sexual issues are important.
I recieved a obscene phone call at work by a brother of the owner...on his cell phone to the work place. I let the owner know immediately. The owner asked for an apology to be given to me the next day...When one wasn't my husband beat one out of him.

I also wonder what Hollywood is going to do when they don't have victims and predators cashing in anymore. Could the worm be turning?

'What was the point?"'

So she's saying she got nothing out of it? Doubtful (unless she was dumb enough to take a personal check from Grey Davis).

"Our society doesn't seem to care anymore," she told The Sacramento Bee.

Absolutely true. We don't care at all when some alleged "incident" is not reported to the authorities at the time, and is only brought up years later solely for political purposes.

I feel so sorry for these damsels in distress. Could it be that they have went to the well too often for someone's sympathy? Perhaps the radical feminazis have complained too loudly and created deaf ears.
