5. There needs to be a lot more evidence
than a story in the National Enquirer. Like a DNA test, for example.

Of sexual conduct AND deception.

10. Can you imagine how much deception would have been
involved? If it's true, there's an incredibly tangled web of lies and who-knows-what-else.

not a crime, like the sexual harassment/battery stories.

24. All that matters is that it is a weapon.
A weapon I'll be glad to put down when the other side does.
However, in the meantime, I'm more than happy to watch the other side get bludgeoned with it.

38. Adultry is in the "Ten Commandments" that these people hold so dear
Adultry is not to be sneezed at. It shows Character. Remember how they piled on Bill Clinton for the same thing. What is good for the goose is good for the gandar.

23. consensual? did Maria consent?
if Arnold broke his sacred vows to his wife, then why should we believe any promises he makes to the voters of CA?

33. Consensual, yes.So was Bill Clinton's relationship w/Monica.
And sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Especially damaging if true in light of Arnold's pro-"family values" stance. Quite fitting, also, for the Republicans to have their own tactics turned against them.

35. Arnold's "pro-family" stance?
Is that the stance he takes while Maria is nowhere to
be seen? The one where he spreads the knees apart on
a woman he doesn't know and rubs his genitals against
her lower body. That stance?

Give me a break.

6. Drive over a hedge DUI Bush was "driving too slow" - unfair too close to
election smear - per our national media.

I wonder how our media will spin the "love child" -perhaps pulled out too slow? - or wife hid his wieghts, was out of town, and action hero Arnold had cut on left hand which meant he couldn't "pump" any other way - and like Henry Hyde about his in his 40's love child - Arnie was young at the time - and it is just a smear.

I note that our GOP media got Henry Hyde elected again - I am sure the Right wing GOP media (we are not controlled by the right wing - we just act that way media)could at least do the same for Arnold.

Finally, after 15 years of traveling the world I am able to stay home with my family. Tom, my husband, Tanner 10yrs. and Connor 5yrs.
I can't wait to see everyone again. I'll be there, dyed hair and all.

See you in August.

Names too unusual not to be her. And according to the enquirer, the child in question is from their "relationship" of a decade ago, which means the cutie on the right is the supposed "love child"

14. This Seems Kind of Cruel
...to do to the kid. If he is Arnold's child and his mother hasn't told him about it, then to fill him with these sorts of doubts about who his father is and to make other people look at differently, seems a bit cruel to do to the child.

Arnold has done enough without dragging a kid into this. If he fathered an illegitimate child in an act of consensual intercourse, I don't think that automatically disqualifies him from being governor.

But groping and harassing women against their will does.

37. Yes for the mother
My two kids and the wife have nothing to do with the sperm donor (impolite term for biological father), the creep is faint pale shadow when compared to some of Arnolds exploits.

I have to keep my views to myself because of the way things stand. Since I have done it this way, the kids have learned and have no qualms about dismissing him or piling on with relatives when need be. After all its their biological father not mine.

I contribute to them the best I can, and the other guy is just seen for what he is, you cannot shame a child with who their parents are, the parents can only shame their selves

19. I've heard this before.
There was a problem with her story. I think it had to do with when she claimed they were together to conceive this child, but I could be wrong. Anyway, this is an old story.

The groping and the Hitler thing don't matter, either. It's the Enron connection that matters. That's what we should be yelling about.

29. How is this different from the hell Jesse Jackson received
when his illegitimate offspring was revealed? Oh, except for the love and support Jackson offered his "second family," that is.

How did Rushbaugh handle the Jackson Affair?

If this is true, since Rush is the national role model for morality, whatever he did to Jesse is exactly what Arnold deserves.

30. Well, we know he manhandles/assaults women
and he says he does it "for sex."

Odds are, he's bound to impregnate somebody, and they're going to want to keep the kid. I don't think this news is any surprise. It's probably why he's pro-choice.

Women's movement and emancipation.
- "Suffragists marching" (Demonstration
by Suffragettes, New York City(?),
USA).-
Photo (Bain News Service photograph),
1913.
(snip)

In a larger context it asked why one should be able to do unto others without their consent.

Since it is not a question that JFK was murdered in what is an undisputable plot of criminality and conspiracy. The only real problems arise because all the exact facts are missing with much evidence contradicting others. With millions of people having looked at these different things on just this case, how could any one ever consider someone that is beholden to a secret society ever as someone to be considered to the public trust or office. These two concepts are contradictory to me.

There has been much work done to make political candidates to disclose their financial status. I can mostly attribute this to the fact one set of thieves are mostly mistrustful of another set of thieves and not much more.

My belief is for real fundamental change to come to this political morass that is called USA, is for people to stand on real principle and not compromises. The brave Women that chained themselves the iron fence of the White house was done less than a century ago. Women might not be voting today if it were not for such people standing on such principle. Maybe there is not equality as many would like to see it, but having it written into the law is a start. To be compromising with anyone on such principled things as who the real person is that is running for a candidacy is a detriment on all principles.

To be sure about this one need not look any farther than the election that will occur tomorrow in California. This also another reason negative campaigning works but is tool that has to be used as things stand. In requesting honesty from others one needs to demand honesty from one self to be understanding what principle means.

In closing I would ask if one feels a need to be vindictive or to try and change others to their purpose and personal views, how does it feel when others are trying to do it to you

Writing such things off as partisan politics does everyone a disservice and hinders others who might want to contribute to a greater cause. You ask what has one to do with other? It has to do with personal honesty or lack of there of.

THE SUFFRAGETTES….WOMEN’S EPIC FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE
The fight for the right for women to vote was a violent revolution for the rights of equal citizenship led by Emmiline Pankhurst and her fellow Suffragettes. The following is a brief account of their fight for equal rights, and the women who were part of that sometimes bloody and violent fight.
In Manchester on October 10 1903, Emmiline Pankhurst’s patience finally ran out. Tired of being pleasant to MP’s in order to get them to give women the vote, she called for more militant action. ‘Deeds, not words’ was to be the motto of the Women’s Social and Political Union. (W.S.P.U.) Emmiline expected a fight but little did she envisage the violent and often savage struggle that was to follow on the basis of that motto. Her movement was confined to independent women only, with no party affiliations. They were women of principle and pursued their goal with great passion, determination and fortitude.
They were going to need all these attributes and more before their struggle was over.
On May 19, 1905, a deputation of ten women went to speak to the Prime Minister. Amongst those women was Emily Davies LL.D., who was seventy-six years old. It was Emily who handed the first women’s suffrage petition to the Prime Minister. In return all they received was some advice about ‘being patient’. This was not the result they wanted. They wanted to be taken seriously.

39. This stuff is fair game -- the party of 'family values' set the bar!
Besides, the ads for Schwarzenegger are full of outrageous lies about Davis -- blaming him for crap that really were the result of his pal, Pete Wilson's policies when he was governor. He refuses to debate or run on a campaign of ideas, but rather is running on lies, innuendo and movie slogans. The complicated 'truth' is getting no traction. So, Ahhhnuld's right about one thing: 'We're in the trenches. It's hand to hand combat.'

Here's real time corroboration of the Gropenator's behavior from Dec. 26, 2000.
Republished today:
October 6, 2003


ARNIE'S WIFE HITS ROOF OVER GRAB-HAPPY HUBBY


AN OUTRAGED Maria Shriver exploded after not one, not two, but three sexy women accused Arnold Schwarzenegger of groping them in a London hotel.

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN! Muscleman Arnold Scwarzenegger can't seem to keep his hands to himself.

As The ENQUIRER reported last week, the famed muscleman was accused of openly fondling a pretty young TV interviewer's breast while promoting his new flick in Britain.

Then, the same day, TWO OTHER attractive TV gals say he lewdly groped them.

Incredibly, one of the incidents was caught on film -- and when Maria caught wind of it back home, she flipped her lid. .....

40. I just sent McClintock's campaign the link to the story
about Arnie's groping (specific accounts with names) published 3 years ago. That should satisfy him that these are not last minute accusations. Maybe he can dredge up the film that shows him groping a woman.
