RM......I'm going to just let your post slide and NO, I won't apologize.

If you want to strain our friendship by your nasty posts, that is your choice.

I think I'll let you wallow in your own anger without giving you any more fuel.

You packed a lot of things in that post to me and very little of it remotely applies to what I said. I think you might need to get a hold of your emotions.

If and when you want to be civil again, give me a ping.

[eureka!]

Re#123 Oh, I'm sure. It is going to be 24/7 too. The Rats are going nuclear...

[Ol' Sparky]

Character DOES matter. It mattered with Clinton. It matters with Schwartenegger.

[B Knotts]

I agree, but check out #149 to see how the Schwarzenegger supporters are responding.

[BonnieJ]

He handled it the same way Bush did with the DUI and it's admirable to be honest, to not play games with it. And he also indicated the story was exaggerated.

[truthkeeper]

You are correct. Now that the story is out there, the way to deal with it is head on. Tell the truth, and let the chips fall where they may

Agree. The truth will always set you free.

[republicanwizard]

Yeah that's the situation, Tomakazi.

I'd rather a man who admits his humanity than a man who only denies it.

[pollywog]

Unbelievably stupid admission No, it's brilliant. What got Clinton in trouble: His escapades, or his attempts to spin/deny/lie/coverup about it?

Yes, but you must realize that the latest allegations were only 3 YEARS ago!! ARNOLD has a CURRENT PROBLEM here folks. Ask anyone with knowledge about sexual additions and they will tell you this! Look at the time line! This has been going on for a long time, and I would even go out on a limb to say, WILL GO ON,( as in Clinton) even AFTER ELECTED.These aren't " foolish , youthful mistakes" , these are actions committed( HE ADMITS IT NOW) by a ADULT!!

[MattGarrett]

I don't object to the post, but your glee at the tarnishing of Arnold's armour.

[usadave]

Let me guess, it was on a rowdy movie set, it doesn't count. The women were leftie sluts, they deserved it, he's such a wonderful guy to admit it, show he has great character, it was in the past.

This makes me wonder how many women have groped Arnold over the years on movie sets and elsewhere. Of course, a man isn't supposed to complain when a woman gropes him because it wouldn't be the manly thing to do. I've had female friends who have playfully pinched my butt, rubbed my chest, sat in my lap, etc., but if a man does these things to a woman, he's branded as a pervert.

>>>They are freaks in our party. It's time to drive them out of it.

It's you wishy-washy centrists who are the freaks!

Conservatives are the political base of the GOP and if you drive them out, you centrists might just as well join the Democratic Party, cause you'll never be on the winning side again.

I think the time maybe drawing near, when cosnervatives unite and form their own political party. The Conservative Party and then tell you people of NO principles and NO convictions to stuff it.

[Lijahsbubbe]

all of you nut jobs.....let's be honest....if that's possible for you....You and your hateful bunch are in your glory, aren't you? Life must be one big misery after another in your world

I am discussing a news story about Arnold. Have I attacked you? Don't respond to me unless you can discuss the story without attacking me and calling me names.

[NittanyLion]

Yeah that's the situation, Tomakazi. I'd rather a man who admits his humanity than a man who only denies it.

Paul? Paul Begala, is that you?

[thoughtomator]

You sound just like a Democrat... except they know they're lying when they say things like that.

[kegler4]

Except the thread on DU went on to note that this was sarcasm.

[Artist]

"I have tears for you, too, dear Artist."

That's hardly an answer....but I'd imagine that it's still hard, on some level, for you to justify tears for a man that treats women like trash.

[NittanyLion]

Ask anyone with knowledge about sexual additions and they will tell you this!

It isn't a sexual addiction, it's terminal arrogance. In his mind the standards that apply to the rest of the world don't apply to Arnold, apparently.

[pollywog]

What's next? "Arnold was rude to a woman at a party in 1985. More at 11.") He's admitted this sort of thing before, generally.

We are talking year 2000!!!! This is current. Not some OLD NEWS as Arnold supporters would love to make us believe.

I also wish King David hadn't had
Bathsheba's husband sent to the
front lines to be killed so he could
have her to himself.

If Arnold weren't such a horrific threat to
the Dems and their relentless power machine,
this would be all be moot, and everyone here knows it.
