"They're trying to torpedo my campaign. They're trying to make me look bad out there so that people vote no," Schwarzenegger said during a stop near Clovis on Day 3 of his campaign bus trip across the state.

<snip>

At a women's forum in Oakland, Davis said Schwarzenegger has acknowledged mistreatment of women.

"Electing a governor who might have committed a crime is going to distract the state from the work it has to do." he said.

Yep, arnie, they are trying to torpedo your campaign, but they are using you and your past behavior as the torpedo. So, who's to blame, arnie?

[Bozola]

1. Wow! He's not as dumb as he looks!

"They're trying to make me look bad out there so that people vote no"

Hahahaha!

[truthisfreedom]

3. yeah... weird... he looks bad because he is bad, so people vote no, and he

is sad and angry about that. arnie has to look at himself... and it makes him sad and angry. and it makes his poor malnourished wife woozy as well.

2. Read This!!! Bizarre Twists.

In another example of the bizarre twists and turns the campaign is
taking, a woman who arrived with a manila folder at a Schwarzenegger
rally in Modesto and demanded to talk with the candidate about what she
called a private legal matter was hustled away by Schwarzenegger's
handlers as scores of reporters tried to speak with her.

"I've had a conversation with her. I have nothing more to say about it
than that, other than she has not made any type of accusation or charge
about Arnold," campaign spokesman Rob Stutzman said later.

9. Read between the lines...

..she has not made any type of accusation or charge about Arnold.'

Meaning, not yet but she will be. Maybe what she was holding was a subpena or some other legal papers on child support/paternaty.

[Maccagirl]

4. He's doing everything but denying the stories are true

Thanks for the ammo Arnie!

[peacetalksforall]

5. He said he has a big heart

more like big hands.

You did it to yourself, ARNOLD!

What do you think your opponents and the voteres should do?

Forgive? Forget?

They should practice compassionate conservatism?

[bigtime]

6. oh, yeah, ahnald

everyone can see YOU'RE the victim here

[salin]

7. the terminator as "victim"

10. 30 years ago? have you read all the threads about the complaints? n/t

[hlthe2b]

11. Morfos, you've got some catching up to do: as recently as

3 years ago! He's a serial groper and admitted sexual assaulter and if you think that's ok, well I got news for you. It is NOT.

Locker room or studio talk is just that, talk. But when it is ACTED out, it is a violation of the law.

Like him as an actor, fine. But this is a deeply flawed misogynist man who has no business representing the people of California.

[TXDemGal]

12. Yeah, Morfos

The Oct. 2nd LA Times article contains allegations of an incident that happened in 2000.

Read the articles.

13. You may want to inform yourself on the timing of his groping

Ah, you are voting for Camejo - facts are irrelevant then. Have fun at the movies - me thinks you'll be seing new Arnie movies.

[not systems]

14. Please consider Bustamante...

there is very good chance than this will come down
to the wire between Arnold and Cruz if the recall
happens.

Unless you want the next gov to activly oppose the
things the Peter Camejo and the Green party advocate
you must vote for Cruz Bustamante.

Please put the good of the state ahead of idealogical
purity. Choose to stand for what you believe in a
pragamtic way with both eyes open.

No Recall Yes Cruz No 54

16. Agreed.. Canejo doesn't have a chance.. don't waste your vote

.

[nini]

15. that's what his apology so slicky implied..

the goal of that apology was not the apology but to make it seem like it was 30 years ago before he became a husband and father..

since most people don't read newspapers any more and only see clips on TV they are buying that crap.

[nini]

17. and btw... welcome to DU.. stick around you will get educated around here
