SAN DIEGO (AP) - Confronted with fresh allegations that he groped women, Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized Thursday for having "behaved badly sometimes" and pleaded with voters just days before California's recall election for the chance to show that he has changed.

If the GOP wants division, then so be it.

"What we saw in the L.A. Times today was not an attack on Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was an attack on every single one of us that wants to take back California," said GOP Rep. David Dreier, a Schwarzenegger supporter.

Allowing Arnold to enter the race was an insult to the conservative cause and those who truly want to take California back from the clutches of the evil that holds it so firmly in its grasp.

Instead, Arnold, who is lucky he hasn't been deported years ago as a sexual batterer, is now help up as a paragon of virtue at a time when we need a man of principles and not a man of rippled muscles and a wandering eye.

This has gotten so out of hand. Even McClintock is smart enough to realize that this whole thing is nothing more that 11th hour character assasunation.

To bad some of his followers aren't as smart.

Today, in response to an article in the LA Times, Arnold 'fessed up to "indiscretions".

If anyone has an issue with him being called out for this, take a look at the following definitions page of a website that deals with Sexual Assault Victims, SAVA. Check out sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Why are you surprised? You're a woman, right? Or are you and all women not to be believed when you report what someone may do to you against your will or without your consent?

Please stop doing the LA Times' work!

Here's what Tom said about this fiasco:

McClintock states election is about the future of CA, and "skeptical of last minute smears"

For those who choose not to look or refuse to ..

Sexual harassment. Sexually harassing a person includes many subtle and overt behaviors. These include sexist comments, unwelcome attention, violations of personal space, unwelcome verbal sexual advances, invitations, physical advances, explicit sexual propositions, and sexual coercion or bribery. Sexual harassment may be an individual event, a cluster of isolated incidents, or may be repetitive. It is likely to be most destructive when it is repetitive.

Sexual assault. Any unwanted sexual contact.

This is not a Hollywood movie we are making here. Actions do have consequences, or at least they used to until Clinton was given a pass by the US Senate not so long ago, and Arnie concurred. I wonder why?

David Drier is a jerk. The attack on Arnold wasn't an attack on me or any other conservative -- ESPECIALLY IF HE DID WHAT'S SAID. If Arnold did what is alleged in those articles, some boyfriends and husbands owe him big time. He's dirty, filthy lout -- BUT HE IS A REPUBLICAN.

The dead enders are getting quite hysterical, and quite funny.

I find it amazing that some take these unproven allegations from un-named sources spouted by a liberal organ as anything but a manipulative liberal hatchet job. If Arnold did something illegal on anything like the massive scale alleged, he would have faced charges long ago. That he apologizes for offending anyone in the past is a classy thing to do and something we all could stand to do at some point in our lives.

Fascinating how some "McClintock supporters" won't even take McClintock's own broad hints about this being "suspicious" and just drop the matter. Apparently even McClintock doesn't speak the same language as this crowd. Makes one wonder about the real motivations of the people spreading this trash trash - it certainly isn't to help McClintock, since the man himself doesn't want to profit from this smear. Truly astonishing and bizarre.

The Dems haven't been in such a mighty uproar since Gore got his butt whooped in Florida.

Let's see what the total of compiled slime is.
Today's DNC talking points.

President Bush is a liar.
He is also endanger CIA operatives lives just for revenge.
Rush Limbaugh is a racist.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a "serial groper".
Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict/dealer.
Arnold is a Hitler lover.
Ovaltine is the drink of the devil.

I hope Norm is writing all this down. I know he doesn't want to miss one of these points. His bosses at the DNC would be upset at him.

The statute of limitations has long since expired for all the "incidents", yet you sound like it wouldn't matter anyway.

If it was your daughter or sister that was a "victim", would you be so blase about it?
