Arnold & the accusations
What do you think about accusations of sexual misconduct on the part of Arnold?
One thing that bothers me is that some of the stories seem to be manufactured - for instance, there was one where Arnold apparently walked into a gym, grabbed a girl's chest, and then walked out. Sounds kinda dumb to me.
Another one was when he apparently slapped a waitress on the rear in 1969. First off, while this is entirely innappropriate, I don't think it was quite how she said - I'm picturing a 22-23 year old Arnold, probably flirting with the waitress the whole time, and then he "makes his move". I've seen meathead high school football players do dumber things than that.
Also, why are these incidents suddenly important? You get slapped on the rear in 1969 and you decide to seek justice (or whatever the intentions are) in 2003? I think it's kind of late...
We all know that it's to derail his campaign, but that really damages the credibility of the stories.
What do you guys think?

yea i have to agree, i don't see how that stuff back then would mean anything now. i really hate how everything gets dug up now, i want to know what they are going to do and i want them to prove to me they are worthy. these days it seems who ever has the least amount of dirt on them.

Hey, wait a minute here. Look where this kind of behavior got Clinton. Maybe Arnold has his sights on the White House.

It's what you call politics. They are going to dredge up everything they can on Arnold just like the republicans did on Clinton. Arnie is going to come out smelling a lot better than slick Willie did. I think he's doing a good job of handling it and they vote tomorrow. They are all getting desperate cause they know The Terminator is going to be the next governor of CA.
Anyone want to place a bet on how much longer it will be until this thread gets moved to the pig pen?

Hey Bubba - There's no way I'd bet on how long it takes for the move. I thought it belonged there from the gitgo.
>>As far as the accusations go, he should come out and address them.<<
Well, he was on the Today show this morning and when he was asked about it, he was a true politician. Completely avoided the question and went on to trash Gov. Davis.
All I know is they sure are making Florida look good. *grin*
