The French call it like it is

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected on a reform agenda after years of state mismanagement by Democrats. He made one attempt to follow through on his campaign promises with a reform agenda via several ballot initiatives. When those initiatives failed due to union campaign money and California’s drooling idiot voters, Schwarzenegger decided, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” He’s been governing like a left-wing Democrat ever since. He’s spending faster than predecessor Gray Davis ever did, and his staff is filled with left-wing Democrats from the Davis administration. Now he’s calling for socialist health care in California (including for any sick Mexicans who want to jump the border for free treatment).

The domestic media would never point out any of this. Leave it to the Agence France-Presse:

Universal health care is normally an issue raised by left-wing Democrats, but Schwarzenegger used the issue to help gain re-election in November 2006, which he did thanks to Democratic support.

When was the last time you saw the phrase “left-wing Democrats” in an American MSM story?

— W.C. Varones
