You have a problem with what he's done because he's running for governor. That's fine too, but would you have a problem if he wasn't running for governor? I don't agree with what he's done no matter what, but it seems as though you hold your politicians up to a higher standard than the average guy just as most people do... I don't. The president and/or governor isn't held up to different expectations than I would expect from myself or anyone else that I know. They are not special. As far as I'm concerned they're all a bunch of liars no matter what, and I would like to see someone get in office who hasn't been completely corrupted by the political system.
Lastly, does anyone who has done the same things that Arnold has done really think they have any right to say anything bad about him? Sorry, but I don't. We all need to look in the mirror before we say shit. I already did.

But I haven't said anything bad about him, nor have I stated how I feel about other people saying bad things about him. I have simply stated what he's done, provided the source, and said I don't feel comfortable with it. How is that bashing?
I have no problem with people doing what he's done, I just don't feel comfortable with having those same people running my country. We need both the liberal-minded and the conservative-minded, not a bunch of people who've experimented with sex and drugs. We need anal, selfish people debating with laid-back bleeding hearts. Without enough people who've never done anything "naughty," we become weak. Too many of them, we become assholes.
I think a representative has to firmly understand his party's ideology, and I just don't see that happening here. He claims conservative ground, but has an extremely liberal past. It doesn't click.
