Looking at the Big picture....need to pick the battles!
We have to win...these are people that can win....what is the alternative????????????
We heard that with Crist, Spectre, Jeffords, Scozzafava et al
That has been tried and fail.
How has that benefited the nation?
Party over values is a losing position.
Polls say otherwise.. almost anyone that had backing of the Gop could beat Boxer.. yet the party bigwigs always back the ‘pragmatic’ candidate and try to sell it to the base as the best we can get.
Agreed. DeVore is not well known enough to win in California. Fiorina is going to have a tough time winning there as well.
Californians aren’t going to vote for a straight-up conservative any more.
This line of reasoning makes me so damned angry I would spit nails.
“Let’s don’t fight this battle, we can’t win.” “No this battle simply doesn’t look right.” “Oh I wish we could fight this battle, but no, we can’t win this one.” “Well, it would be nice to win a battle, but we can’t win these kind of battles.” “Wow, it sure would be great to remove the RINOs. This just isn’t the time.”
For C’s sake, when do you folks plan on taking a stand, when we’ve been pushed out of our end zone? If we listen folks like you, our nation will be gone ten years before you’ll agree it’s time to engage in a battle.
Nothing against what I consider to be a nice person, but please get behind some of the right people will ya. Otherwise nothing is EVER going to change.
I am amazed at times at the people who don’t understand this.
Rasmussen 4/14/10
How each of the Republican candidates would fare against Boxer
Election 2010: California Senate
Carly Fiorina (R) 38%
Barbara Boxer (D)42%
Some other candidate 7%
Not Sure 13%
Election 2010: California Senate
Chuck DeVore (R) 39%
Barbara Boxer (D)42%
Some other candidate 8%
Not Sure 12%
Election 2010: California Senate
Tom Campbell (R) 41%
Barbara Boxer (D)43%
Some other candidate 6%
Not Sure 10%
Point is that Sarah isn’t even choosing the most likely winner when she’s rejecting DeVore. She’s actually choosing the biggest Republican loser candidate by backing Fiorina. The good news is that Sarah doesn’t have as much sway with Californians, although a few points won or lost here could make all the difference in the election.

Screeched at me over and over again by McCain bootlickers in 2007-08.
You are spot on! This reasoning has put CA in such a better place with Arnold instead of Tom McClintock. Let’s continue on the same track - electability over ideals! </sarc>
I’m sick of hearing that, that’s why we ALWAYS lose.
No More RINOS.
