Arnold's Fundraising Flip Flop

[dArKeR]

Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger took his campaign to California's agricultural heartland Thursday for a rare personal appearance, trying to shake off bumps and bruises from the political potholes his campaign hit this week.

The biggest one is fundraising, something he implied from day one he wouldn't do, reports CBS News Correspondent Jerry Bowen.

"I don't need to take any money from anybody," he said on August 6, when he announced his candidacy. "I have plenty of money myself."

But the latest campaign finance reports show Schwarzenegger's the number one fundraiser in the large field of candidates seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. He's raised more than $3 million so far; $2 million of it from his own pocket, the rest from very wealthy contributors.

1. BIG flip flop.

The Wilsonites supporting Arnie have engaged in verbal gymnastics about this, but we all know that he said no money from those with interests before the state. He's broken that promise--big time.

2. So Arnold like...LIES?

5. The first TV interview after declaring a run he lied.

He was asked if he was going to release his taxes and he said his ear piece went out and he couldn't hear this question and of course time ran out and the show was over. He lied in his first interview. What does that tell you?

10. He actually lied before declaring - he promissed he'd bow out

and introduce Riordan - pulled a fast one on him just out of the gate:

Just one day into his campaign for governor
of California, Arnold
Schwarzenegger is being called a liar,
Hollywood opportunist and con man.
And that’s just by fellow Republicans.

8. It's never a "lie" when a Republican does it, just a "flip flop"

Just say the word. He lied!

9. It is not nice to attack Arnie for lying. Or for orgies. Or for

drugs. Or for pontificating. Be nice. Roll over and shut up! Don'tcha know the country had enough of attacks during Clinton? Now, the new tone is in so shut up and clap!
