No, Clinton has a loooong history of sexually accosting women, cheating on Hillary, and lying about his cheating on Hillary - including instructing his longtime mistress Gennifer Flowers to lie about their relationship, which unknown to him she was recording, and shaking his finger in our face and lying about the Oval Office blowjob he got from a star-struck intern. The guy is a scumbag of the first order and if he were a Republican he’d have been ridden out of town on a rail years ago. Clinton and his henchmen did everything they could to ruin the reputations and lives of whosoever became his latest “bimbo eruption,” while Arnold at least did the right thing and not only owned up to the child he had with his housekeeper but voluntarily began to provide for the child and his mother once it became apparent the child was his, which he has done for many years and continues to do to this day.

In short Arnold Schwarzenegger is a white knight compared to Bill Clinton.

How did this affect his ability to perform his job as an elected official? And if it didn’t, why should you care?

How did Chris Brown beating affect his ability to dance and song and if it didn’t why soups anyone care? This thread is about people who are despised in a lot of cases for moral failings and obviously a person could depise another because of their morals whether they were good at their job or not.

I don’t think it’s possible for someone else to destroy another’s marriage. I was talking about what I’ve been reading _from other women_. By all accounts, Eddie has been a multi-cheating bum his whole life. And as I noted in my post, his ex is a psycho. So, I think there’s enough blame to go around for all three parties, but the one _most women_ seem to despise is the one they call the (antiquated, in my opinion) home wrecker, LeAnn. Just to clarify.

I definitely think almost beating a woman to death is a moral failing. Your mileage may vary.

No need in this case. You hit the nail squarely on the head with that post.

That’s his point - that celebrities are being criticized in this thread for their moral failings, and that it’s no more wrong to criticize Bill Clinton for his moral failings irrespective of his ability to perform his job than it is to criticize Chris Brown for his. You might want to read my post regarding Bill Clinton and **Leaffan’s** response in order to understand **pool’s** remarks in their proper context.

Call me old fashioned, **SA** , but I was raised to believe that there’s a difference between a womanizer and a woman-beater. Maybe things are different these days.

Arnold also had a roving eye for a long time. The only reason he never wagged his finger like Clinton is that he didn’t have such determined and powerful political enemies.

When Arnold ran for governor, I actually defended him to my liberal friends as being in a situation similar to Clinton’s in 1992, in that he couldn’t very well admit to everything he did when he was young and stupid, but seemed to be saying he wouldn’t do it anymore.

I’m actually surprised he still engenders ideological loyalty - hasn’t he been considered a RINO for a while now?

Also, based on his last movie’s box office, Arnold no longer has a career either.

I voted Democrat the last two elections so it is not so much her politics as it is her smugness and overt/over the top nature when it comes to her political opinion that makes her cringe worthy.

I can only imagine how a hard line republican must feel about her! 😃

I would put her in the same class as Alec Baldwin and Robert De Niro save for the fact that I enjoy their work much more.

When you imagine him saying that it’s not only totally believable but soothing.
