TOP 5 REASONS WHY PALIN ENDORSED CARLY FIORINA

Some conservatives are angry at Governor Palin's endorsement of former Hewlett-Packard Executive Carly Fiorina. In a way, this anger is understandable, given that Chuck DeVore is the Tea Party favorite and the true conservative in the race, and Palin stated that she would support conservatives regardless of party.

Principles are important, but in certain circumstances they take a back seat to pragmatism. You can't implement your principles if you don't win first, so here is why Palin endorsed Carly:

Money. Chuck DeVore is a fine conservative, but he doesn't have the money to compete with Boxer. California is an expensive media market and a huge state requiring lots of travel and lodging. DeVore would need a minimum of $20 million just to keep his head above water, and God Bless the Tea Parties, but they'd have to hold a thousand money-bombs for DeVore, and in this economy it simply ain't happening.

History. Boxer is a POS Senator with an IQ of a bathtub ring, but she's a ruthless campaigner. Those of you screaming we need a true conservative to face Boxer - I humbly offer you the remains of Matt Fong and Bruce Herschensohn, both staunch conservatives who got shredded by Boxer. Boxer either used their conservatism against them and they apologized like dummies, or she made up some crap at the last minute which got her votes, as in the case of the strip club allegation against Herschensohn. She can't do the same to Carly.

Polls. DeVore has been running for almost a year now and yet he still can't break 20% in the polls. This with the Tea Party movement and voter discontent at Washington. He should be leading, yet he's not. That falls more on the candidate and the campaign he's running than on the political environment.

3-person race. Governor Palin was faced with what is known as a Buridan's ass choice. She can't support Campbell because he's too liberal; yet if she support the conservative, DeVore, he would lose. So she had to choose someone who represented the greater good, and that choice is Carly.

Mitt Romney. Carly has a much better chance of becoming Senator than Meg Whitman has at being Governor. Endorsing Carly neutralizes CA support of Romney in the event the two of them face off in the state. Also, it kills the canard that Palin can't attract independents and moderates (never mind that she worked with Dems in Alaska and was pretty much a pariah in the state GOP). Palin can't be stereotyped as a right-wing religious kook by endorsing Carly.

Nobody's saying Carly is the 2nd coming of Thatcher. She might become the West Coast version of Olympia Snowe, who knows. But what Carly represents is a new type of blue-state Republican in the mold of Scott Brown and Chris Christie: Someone who meets the minimum conservative threshold and will focus on taxes, spending, health-care and other big-ticket issues, and not get into pissing matches about social or other issues that the majority doesn't care about right now. Sarah's endorsement is strategic and makes perfect sense.

Globalism rant number 33.

You’ve got nothing.

Quit insulting people and calling them Global Traitors...Mr. Unionist.

[hedgetrimmer]

and how many times have you called people who believe in free markets.....globalist Traitors..

Clearly not enough. The message needs to be loud and clear. It's time to uncover the liars.

You’re too ignorant to even see it.

You cannot disprove that 'free trade' is a false name for global socialist managed trade. Today's news is about the 'bailout' of Greece is yet another blatant example of the Anti Americanism of 'free trade'. I'll say free traitor because it's the truth.

Your candidate is a global traitor. What was she doing poverty pimping for the World Bank? Maybe you could explain how her work there promotes individual rights and preserves the Constitution?

[rbmillerjr]

“You cannot disprove that ‘free trade’ is a false name for global socialist managed trade.”

The way it works is if you make a claim, which you have, you get to prove it.

So prove your nutty claim.

[hedgetrimmer]

Running away from Fiorina’s poverty pimping World Bank days?

Tell us why she would be involved with a globalist free traitor organization that is a subsidiary of the United Nations which spends US taxpayer money without any oversight by the citizens of the United States?

Hmmm?

[rbmillerjr]

So, you make a nutty claim and ask me to disprove it.

Then I advise you it is your obligation to prove your claim, not mine.

Then, here you are again avoiding your claim.

Make you claim about “globalist schemes”. To me it’s a fantasy so make an intelligible point with support.

[rbmillerjr]

Here was your claim:

“free trade’ is a false name for global socialist managed trade.”

Convert me......go

Have at it.

That’s a link for the WTO, that’s not a case.

FYI, The US GDP has increased by huge amounts with increased trade overseas. The American standard of living increases with trade overseas.

Google CATO and Heritage Foundation for Free Trade, Free Markets.

You can't read?

Now this is utter nonsense. Since 'free trade' of the last 30 years, our economy has been completely trashed. Forty million on food stamps many millions out of work,manufacturing jobs gone from 43% of the economy to 15% you free traitors need to change your talking points.
