I haven't seen this discussed here so I thought I would bring it up.
On Wednesday the LA Times launched a huge hit piece against Schwarzenegger, with
four negative articles including a front page story about Arnold's alleged
indiscressions. It should come as no suprise that Republicans quickly began to
dismiss these alligations as minor, unsubstantiated, and politically motivated,
while Democrats (especially leftist womens groups) jumped all over Arnold as
unfit to govern based on these bahaviors.
The funny twist to this whole thing is that both sides are trapped by their
stances during the Clinton impeachment. How can a Democrat condem Arnold for
sexual indiscressions, when they unquestioningly supported Clinton, inspite of
sexual harrassment and rape charges. On the other hand how can Republicans shrug
off these serious charges when they actively persecuted Bill for simmilar
offenses. I think the justifications for the duality of their support are truely
comedic.
Personally I find both of their actions deplorable, and indefensible. If I did
not have a tremedous fear that Cruz "Tax 'em when they're down" Bustamante might
win I would likely change my vote. I also hope the LA Times is unable to succeed
in their attempts to influence this election in a biased manor.
Although I am aware that California politics do not affect all of you, I am
curious as to peoples opinions on this matter, and the resultant hypocricy on
both sides of the asile.

Sadly, this probably has at least a little to do with the way many Californians are going to vote the way they will next (...) (21 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
