Religious Group to Schwarzenegger: 'Come Clean'
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A prominent California-based religious group is calling on Arnold Schwarzenegger to set the record straight over a 1977 interview in which the Republican candidate for California governor discussed taking part in an orgy and using marijuana.

Californians for Moral Government said it wanted the action star to "come clean and fully repent and repudiate the years of sexual promiscuity that have been reported," the Rev. Louis Sheldon, the group's chairman, said on Friday in a letter.

The letter was addressed to 20 of the state assembly's 32 Republicans who have endorsed Schwarzenegger, the leading Republican candidate fighting to become California's next governor.

2. Let's have an old-fashioned dunk at the river....
I'm sure Ahnold is up to this acting job...
dress in white robes, go down to the LA River,
get dunked by Lou and his brethren and repent
three times...
Great visuals and Republicans could
vote for him with clear consciences.

3. I knew it! When I heard Bay Buchanan say: "he needs to distance himself
- saying he wasn't running for governor isn't good enough" I knew that wingnuts are frowning (posted so earlier).
Arnie has two choices: ignore it and give McClintock more of his voters or follow it and lose the moderates, libertarians who fell for " sex is cool - Clinton got away (?) with it too" - which will not like such a repudiation.

6. And the thing to remember is that the Oui article is just...
...the tip of the iceberg. Just wait until the interesting stuff comes out. Someone is keeping their powder dry right now. But that will change soon.

10. "the tip of the iceberg"
Old Arnold has had a reputation as a
masher for years in Hollywood. Grab,
grope, feel. I remember an interview
with Linda Hamilton who starred with
him, she was asked about it and she
just looked helpless and rolled her
eyes like someone who was remembering
very uncomfortable moments. She made
no comments which was rather telling.

Still it will be hard to find anyone
of any significance to come forward
as they will fear being blacklisted
for future employment.

9. Gool ol' Lou Sheldon...
I recall at 16 yelling obscentities at him and giving him the finger from my mother's car. He is influential as are other fundies and I'm awaiting their campaign for McClintock.

11. good for them
they're drawing more attention to Arnie's sordid past, making it harder for Arnie to avoid the issue.

13. Typical hypocritical fundie Christians
Upset Arnold had sex, don't care he is on board of Racist US English Only organization.

If they were real Christians, they would at least be upset about both.

18. I wish Arnie had some idea about economies
All he knows is this...

Why is the "family values" party running this guy in the first place?

20. Inconvenient, but 'family values' may now have to take a makeover ...
into someting along the lines of 'Fun in the Sun and Apartheid Too!' ...Arn*ld's a shoo-in. Win or lose, his star-power intangibles are pumped -- and he'll probably win.

http://www.infowars.com/print/nwo/shwartz_section.htm

Willie Horton in whiteface. Positioned since Day One, with a lot of help from on high. Fundamentalists now reckoning it's only fair, asking for evidence of the soul transformed. Judgement's already safely in the bag, ya think?

This after all those scolding's from the likes of imploded libertine and fallen virtues-czar Bennnett, on 'moral relativism,' on the pitfalls of non-totalitarian habits of mind, on the ungodliness of a fascism that's only lukewarm.

21. Hold on!!!!! Look at this link:
http://www.traditionalvalues.org/article.php?sid=1123

Rev. Sheldon sent a QUESTIONAIRE to all of the major candidates that asks them about their positions on "Moral Issues"! Arnold Schwarenazi was the only one not answering it!!! This in NO WAY means that they are endorsing Arnie Boy!!!


:dem: No Recall, :kick Yes on Bustamante

22. Of course, Bill Clinton could have repented 100 times
and the religious nutjobs would never have "forgiven" him.

I guess if he had a (R) behind his name, that makes a big difference, huh?

would have shot Bill Clinton before forgiving him.
