 Los Angeles -- Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides, aiming to energize union members and party activists on Labor Day, charged that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a "first-class fraud" whose moderate stands on issues like global warming and a minimum wage increase will disappear if he is re-elected.

"The fact is, this is a guy who wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face," said Angelides, who spent the traditional opening of the fall campaign on a four-city fly-around that took him across the state. "What he's doing, for 90 days before the election, is trying to trick the people of California to save his own job ... (but) his conversion is as fraudulent as Bush's claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." Angelides made the statement after an address to several hundred union activists at the annual breakfast at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. |
