30. There's a solution...
The Republicans will shamelessly brand the liberals as hypocrites, which will silence them, and the liberals won't attack the GOP for their far greater hypocrisy out of a desire for moral consistency.

So how do liberals find a way to fight back while satisfying our conscience, since our side, unfortunately is hampered by one? Good question.

There's an easy solution. Don't attack Arnold for womanizing. Attack the conservatives for being hypocrites for supporting them. Make their hypocrisy the issue. And it won't be hypocritical for our side because we aren't saying don't vote for him because he's a womanizer. We're saying this is Republican opportunism at it's finest, where they look the other way for all the crimes they decried through the Clinton years. I mean, come on -- Mr. Book of Virtues didn't denounce Arnold's behavior?

Otherwise, you'll see the result. They attack us for hypocrisy. We're to decent to point out thiers. And yet again, because we're better people than them, the public is left with the impression it is we who are guilty, and they're the one's being upright and consistent. That's a lie that should not stand.
