Poll question: Who is to blame in the Arnold Swarchenegger debacle?

Too bad Arnold got elected twice to be Governator. Too bad this was buried until now.

Another Repuke who couldn't keep his eyes on his wife....Family Values my wrinkled old ass.

2. Didn't Jackie Kennedy silently acquiesce to JFK's philandering? Reasoning that

she had been taught that all men fool around?

There is a part of me that wonders if (hopefully not) Maria subscribes (or used to) to that way of thinking, since she chose to remain silent while her parents were alive. And not that this is a bad thing, nor that Maria has anything to explain or apologize for - I sympathize with Maria 100%.

However, I put the blame for any discomfort the Gropenator is feeling entirely on the philandering Gropenator.

3. Arnold and his mistress, of course

My reaction when married men come on to me is disgust! I have integrity and compassion for the people who love and put their trust in me. I have made mistakes in the past, but I can safely say that I would never behave the way Arnold or his mistress behaved!

7. Arnold has no honor. I wish his wife hadn't come out in his defense...

...just before he was elected - she told voters to believe her rather than the dozen+ women who had complained about the creep.

10. I wonder if she really thought all those women were lying...

I hear she'll be on Oprah's show soon; maybe she will talk about that.

12. It takes two to tango

Either party could have put a halt to the affair at any time. Neither one chose to.

13. Other. Obviously: the "love" child.

The new generation is always at fault.

Had it not been for the child, the whole scandal wouldn't have arisen.

14. Arnold only - his mistress was working for him

He had the power in this relationship, she didn't.

His behavior is unforgivable.

15. First question, is how did CA elect this pig? Second question is how was Arnold

Edited on Wed May-18-11 01:56 PM by defendandprotect

able to overcome the strong rumors -- and actual reporting of cases where

a number of women pointed to his sexual aggressiveness --

To me this suggests two things --

the corporate-press worked to help Arnold to survive by muting many of those reports --

and dulling the impact of them --

Otoh, the public is naive in many ways and needs its BS meters turned up waaaaay higher -- !!

And that's on ALL issues -- not just Arnhold!!

17. Sounds like Arnold cause he released the story

as for having sex, well it ain't a crime so I place no blame on people having sex they apparently wanted to have. But it's sounding more now like Arnold dropped this story to publicly embarrass Maria because he feels she left him because he is no longer Governor. Sounds more and more like the magic in the marriage was long dead. I imagine more and more ugly will get released as these people publicly feud.

As always the loser in this seems like the kids who are going to be in the middle of one ugly public divorce it would appear.

20. It was those damn hippies!

Hey, it's the excuse currently being proffered by the higher-ups in the Catholic clergy. Why shouldn't it work for Arnold and his paramour, too?
