Much ado is being made about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's suggestion that the GOP make a left turn to pick up more votes. Neal Boortz, for one, isn't buying it:

Take a look at the following legislation sign by George W. Bush, and ask yourself if moving to the left helped him:

* The No Child Left Behind Act, written with the help of Teddy Kennedy, who later accused him of cooking up the Iraq war down at this ranch in Texas

* The Medicare Prescription Drug benefit - Cost? Hundreds of billions of dollars. Increase in popularity: zippo.

* Government spending - George Bush has yet to veto a single spending bill, meaning the Democrats have basically gotten everything they've wanted.

That strategy might have worked for Arnold out in the blue state of California. But it's a loser on the national scene. The only thing moving to the left will do is alienate the right. Besides, there are those on the left that will never like Time's Man Person of the Year, and they will lie, cheat, and steal to keep their liberal base shored up.
