"Only an idiot would call Arnold a "socialist," he's a tight-fisted fiscal conservative. Their argument against him is that he's socially permissive.
Sorry, but someone who supports massive government spending on social programs, and the creation of even more such programs, is a socialist, because the funding of such programs must come from the salaries of working people, of whatever income; and the operation and maintenance of these programs must be by a bureaucracy of government employees (i.e., bigger government), which means that they can create legislation to enlarge their functions and power (so as to more "equitably" redistribute society's wealth, which is what social programs are all about). Arnold is for all that. Ergo, he is a socialist. A socialist can be against illegal aliens. Hell, Hitler was a socialist, and he was against a whole variety of people. But he was still a socialist.

Arnold is for all that. Ergo, he is a socialist.

How do you figure Arnold is for all of that spending? What evidence do you have?
