for all the B.S. that Arnold did...I'll remember his treatment of the Santos family the most. Despicable.

Sacramento anti-tax advocate Ted Costa looks back at the events he set in motion when he helped kick off California's historic gubernatorial recall in 2003 - culminating in the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger - with more than a little disgust.
"He's betrayed the people who supported him from Day One," said Costa of the former GOP governor, who this week acknowledged betraying wife Maria Shriver by having an affair and an out-of-wedlock child with a housekeeper more than a decade ago. "I don't know why people are shocked."
Melanie Morgan, the former KSFO conservative talk show host who was dubbed the "Mother of the Recall," is also angry. "He squandered his marriage and the good will of the people of California," Morgan said. "And now, he's squandered any legacy."
The anger of leaders in the recall of then-Gov. Gray Davis, which turned Schwarzenegger from an aging action hero into a state political leader, dramatizes the ripple effects of the sordid scandal that has rocked California.
New revelations surfaced on Wednesday, when the New York Times reported that Schwarzenegger helped his family's longtime housekeeper and the mother of the child, Mildred Patricia Baena, buy a home in Bakersfield last year.
The tawdry tale of infidelity - besides having deep personal impacts on Schwarzenegger's family - has rocked conservative activists around the state. Many of them were involved in the effort to organize and raise money for the recall election.
"It's really despicable," said Jon Fleischman, who publishes the popular Flashreport.org website and who was a supporter of the 2003 recall. Conservatives, he said, are now appalled at Schwarzenegger's record, both personal and political. . . .

A person’s personal life, their moral code, is a good indicator of how they will operate in their political life.
Hey there Melanie your “Recall Movement” got High-Jacked by the STUPID Calipornia ArnoldBots. Arnold ALWAYS was a FAKE any you Californians bought him hook, line and you ALL were the sinkers.
for all the B.S. that Arnold did...I'll remember his treatment of the Santos family the most. Despicable.
This black mail possibility should help with the law suit to overturn Arnold’s commutation of Nunez’s kid.
The MSM is helping to whitewash Nunez. They always fail to mention that he also wielded a knife and cut someone in the fight. That hardly makes him less guilty than the killer.
He could have been a killer also.

I only wish there was a way to deport Arnold’s sorry ass back to Austria.
It’s amazing what men will sacrifice for some tail. Not being a man, I don’t understand it; but that urge is one mighty powerful deal. If she had a least been a hottie it wouldn’t excuse it, but make it a little more understandable. Anyway, he’s not the first and won’t be the last.
You Californians couldn’t have done much worse if Porn Star Mary Carey had won the recall election.
Who ever seriously backed this bone head anyway? He was a libtard RINO from the start.
Well at least they got Jerry Brown now to see them through. After Davis and Arnold, they learned their lesson. ;)
Arnold: From Terminator to Governator to Inseminator
She didn't find it funny for some reason....
Let me be the first to restate what I have said for the last six years that stands 100% correct today.
He played Conan, he thinks he is Richard the Lionheart but in the end was just an actor on the stage, the court jester. He will go down in history known as Arnold the Fool.
The Sperminator
Did they sleep with him too?
One of the most frustrating things I see in the conservative movement is the tendency to desperately latch onto supposedly “conservative” celebrities only to be crushed later when it is shown they are no such thing. I’m sorry folks, but TV and music celebs are about the last group of people we need to associate with. It’s fine if the Ted Nugents, Donald Trumps, et al want to be a part of the conservative movement, but having them anywhere near a leadership position is just setting us up for disappointment. We don’t need celebrities, we need leaders!!!
Women have very little sense of humor when it comes to adultery and/or cleaning or so I’ve been told.
Whatever shambles this steroid freak chooses to make of his life is between him and his family. My objection is to the fact that he was a horrible governor - a Republican who ran as a cost-cutting financial conservative and governed as first a spineless compromiser and then as a liberal.
