This whole article reads like democratic talking points. It was obviously written by some pol and regurgitated by the report who got handed the "scoop." What he is scooping though is a lot of B.S. Sorry, I just can't beleive what passes for journalism anymore.

Did anyone see where the reporter verified that what A.S. drew was in fact a salary? It seems a pretty loose connection from a reference in an autobiography to what he drew as income at the time. Arnold English ain't so good. Whose to say what he refer to as salary.

I don't know. Maybe I am all off base on this but the story sure seems to come off strong without much support.

Well, gee, let's deport him right away!

I was wondering how long it would take the dims to find this little morsel.

Next they'll be checking his thermostat settings; how long are his showers; how many "sheets" he uses in the bathroom and does he ever use "cuss" words.

That is just for starters!

This was a sleeze piece. That is what I see the post thoughout this thread saying. You make a falacious argument when you say that because someone is calling this article a smear job that they support everything Arnold stands for.

In other words, your argument does not logically follow (If I say that the article is a smear, then I must love Arnold).

Gee... wouldn't it be a shame if this minor gaffe made Ahnuld ineligible to serve as governor?

Figures the Waffen Libs would pick now, of all times, to finally start enforcing immigration laws, but if the ends justify the means... go Tom go. :-)

So, I'll ask the question a little differently. What accusation would an article have to make and who would have to make it before the Arnoldbots on Free Republic would NOT just call it a "sleeze piece"? Where is the line drawn? Tell you what, if Arnold turned out to be Larry Flynt in a Terminator mask, as long as that (R) is after the name and he was still polling well, the Arnoldbots here would still be supporting him.

I guess it would be fine with the Dems if he just came here and went on welfare.

Ad hominem attack is also not a very good debating point. It undermines any serious point you make (Arnoldbots).

Of course, I understand what you are trying to say, to you it seems like people can find nothing wrong in Arnold no matter what comes out - by way of sleaze hit piece or legitimate news.

Apparantly, everything that has come out thus far has not sufficiently shaken his supporters to turn away from him. That is probably because the attacks have had little or nothing to do with the issues or were merely ad hominem attack.

Oh, well.

What's the bigger "indiscretion?" Killing babies before they are born? Violating US immigration law? A little 'forceful' sex? Or the Gray Davis type: lying like hell about the budget?

To these guys, "indiscretions" are irrelevant--across the board. All the same, no problem, don't worry--be happy.

And PAY THE TAXES.
