I’d like to tell you about a Commonsense Conservative running for office in California this year. She grew up in a modest home with a school teacher dad, worked her way through several colleges, and then entered an arena where few women had tread. Through a combination of hard work, perseverance, and common sense, she proved the naysayers wrong to reach the top of her field, where she led with distinction – facing hard truths, making tough decisions, and showing real leadership through a rocky transition period. Where others had failed, her company had weathered the storm and settled on a stronger new foundation.
Her name is Carly Fiorina, and I’m proud to endorse her for U.S. Senate.
Carly is the Commonsense Conservative that California needs and our country could sure use in these trying times. Most importantly, she’s running for the right reasons. She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. She’s not a career politician. She’s a businesswoman who has run a major corporation. She knows how to really incentivize job creation. Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits. We can trust Carly to do the right thing for America’s economy and to make the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career.
Please consider that Carly is the conservative who has the potential to beat California’s liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. I’m a huge proponent of contested primaries, so I’m glad to see the contest in California’s GOP, but I support Carly as she fights through a tough primary against a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no difference to Boxer, one of the most leftwing members of the Senate. Carly needs our support in this crucial election year when we have a real chance of putting an end to the Pelosi/Reid “Big Government” agenda.
I hope you’ll join me in supporting Carly. Visit her website here, and follow her on Facebook and Twitter. Read up on her positions and plans to help get us on the right track.
California is still Reagan Country, and Carly promises her “Reagan Conservative” values will be put to good use for her state and for our great nation. Shaking it up in California is long overdue. Let’s help Carly do it!

“Bob J is complete a fraud.”
This coming from the nut that asked for my home phone number.
Just to see Babs gone would be worth it. I want to see the look on her face when her ass is finally tossed on the street where she belongs. She is an absolute disgrace on this state
You missed my point. Entirely.
She is Pro-Life atleast...
Do you want mine ?
I am not afraid of anyone or anything.
I also read she is against amnesty for illegals and against ObamaCare..is that true?
You know what I wish? I wish Sarah were more honest about why she does what she does, why she stands for what she stands for.
I think we know that deep down she is a classic conservative.
But what we are missing is any sort of honesty about her motivations.
What I’d like to see is an explanation of why she picked Fiorina rather than DeVore. Why can’t she be honest and say something like “We need a Boxer-free Senate. I am endorsing the candidate that has the BEST chance of beating Boxer. I wish I could choose the most conservative candidate in the race, but I believe in small steps toward victory, not in going down with the ship. We can’t die on every hill. While we do not wish for RINOs in public office, we need to choose our battles in each individual race, and no one is perfect. Carly has ... bla bla bla...”
Wouldn’t that be more satisfying? Sarah, are you listening?? If you can’t be honest, what else is there?
Based on what I am reading..
yes
“You in your infinite wisdom have determined that the state must be leftist because Conservatives don’t win elections here.”
No genius, I know that your state is leftist because of the people that run it and the people that represent it. Someone is voting for them I assume. My state is in the same boat thanks in no small part to refugees from yours moving here and bringing their leftist politics with them.

Fiorina said that one of the senators she admires most is Sen. Dianne Feinstein (and John McCain):
"Sen. Feinstein has been a fine senator for the state of California, and has accomplished a great deal. I would describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver. I admire her, I respect her. I like her. I think and I hope she would say the same about me."

People like McCain always say they are pro life to get elected. Why? Because they know nothing will be done to change Roe vs Wade. Thats why.
Arghhh! Confirms my opinion of Carly.
Carly has a wonderful personal story. She has been fighting breast cancer. She has executive real world experiance.
She is in good shape as far as I can see.
Oooh, that’s gonna leave a mark.
I absolutely agree...
Those who say, “Well, at least a RINO is better than a Democrat... not necessarily! They are called, “RINO -Republican In Name Only,” for a reason... in most cases, they vote right along with the Democrats.
So I disagree with Sarah’s endorsement of Fiorina, who is another RINO that has recently said Arizona’s immigration law carries a racist tone.
Fine, let's do it then, sounds easy as punch.
Then the same is true about all of America because we elected Obama.
What is your point?
Meg Whitman isn’t running for Senate. That arrogant idiot woman is running for Governor. I despise her with each new ad. I am not sure we should even HAVE an election for governor: Ahnold, Meg, or Moonbeam are nearly equally atrocious for a state in serious trouble. I hope Poizner has a shot because we Californians are doomed.
A new update from Sarah regarding her endorsement..
Update: I’d like to add a few things about my Carly endorsement because some reaction right out of the chute calls for more information:
Carly has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List. She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-military, and pro-strict border security and against amnesty. She is against Obamacare and will vote to repeal it and prevent the government takeover of private companies and industries. Carly is also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Like me, she is a member of the NRA, has a 100% NRA rating, and she and her husband are gun owners. She is pro-energy development and believes as I do in an all-of-the-above approach to energy independence. She is against cap and tax. And most importantly, Carly is the only conservative in the race who can beat Barbara Boxer. That’s no RINO. That’s a winner.

It is official there is no need to vote anymore for Conservatives; RINOS or DEMS from here on out.
