So Arnold drew a salary on a B-1 visa roughly 30 years ago.

Obviously, we don't care about this any more than we cared about the fact that a President we elected dodged the draft with trickery and then skipping off to Oxford more than 30 years ago.

If the latter is no big deal (as apparently it was), then the former is mere trivia. Right?

And here we see the TRUE Klinton Legacy!

Now you want Conservatives to sell their principles for a bowl of pottage, since it's OK because of the Klinton Legacy?

Sorry, it was WRONG when Klinton's supporters did it...it's wrong when WE do it!

So you are saying you LIKE your candidates to be supporters of Illegal Infiltrators (especially when it seems your candidate didn't give a DAMN about the laws when it suited him...), what OTHER laws do you thinlk it's OK to violate as long as there's and (R) after his name...

Just so we can have at least SOME idea what you all believe in...and you can prepare to defend him in case he violates/tramples laws that are "inconvenient" in the future.

Webster's Dictionary: "Salary: Fixed compensation paid regularly for services."

When Arnold Schwarzenegger allowed his photos and personal information to be published by a body building magazine for a fee, what "services" did he provide?

If Paul McCartney sells a U.S. music fan magazine photos of himself for publication, does Paul McCartney need a U.S. work visa to do so?

If I sell a photo album on eBay to somebody in France, do I need a French work permit?

There are thousands of immigration attornies in the U.S. but only "half a dozen" could be found who would state that this was a visa violation.

There's little in the way of logical consistency to be found since Bush took office. Don't get me wrong - this is not meant to be criticism of the Bush Administration. Rather, it's a simple observation that those things many on FR found most objectionable during the Clinton Administration are suddenly acceptable for Pres. Bush.

IMHO, it's best to admit that no one is right 100% of the time and make no excuses, period. Obviously Arnold's actions were improper (illegal?); whether that has any bearing on his ability to become governor is another matter. Just like GWB had less than model behavior during his youth.

Back to your original point, few if any on this forum have room to criticize Bill Clinton for the actions of his youth (at least if they aim to remain consistent).
