Even Obama is not as arrogant as Steve "All who look upon me are scum" Poizner. His whole staff was insufferable. If you were talking to them they would answer a phone call and put their palm up in your face.

But that is really a minor issue, compared to a Republican who is to the left of Jerry Brown on most the issues. If Poizner becomes the GOP candidate, the GOP will basically cease to exist as an alternative to leftism. He knows what he's doing, he hates conservatives, and he will remake the party under him.

Well Romney endorsed Rubio and campaigned for him while Palin remained silent. Maybe she is for Crist like Mac was.
Mitt at least is actually helping conservatives get elected.

Like Meg Whitman and Senator Bob Bennett, his two biggest endorsements?

LOL.

That was about three weeks ago when Rubio was at 56% against Crist’s 33%.

Romney courageously jumping on that band wagon must have really shaken up the race.

OH! wait a minute, Romney endorsed and Crist is leading the pack in the polls, I guess he did have an effect.

Yeh and Palin is mum. She is busy endorsing RINOS

Mac and Carly will vote with the dems.

She has angered the grassroots conservatives in CA.
At least Mitt DID ENDORSE RUBIO and has campaigned for him.

Yeah ‘I longed to serve in Vietnam, but hid in France instead’ Mitt Romney courageously jumped in, to to endorse a guy that had been running 23 to 29 points ahead for months.

Is there something about the scum bag Mitt Romney that you want to tell us about?

Conservative Leaders For
CARLY FIORINA
U.S. Senate 2010

March 5, 2010

Fellow Conservatives:

This November, California will have an opportunity to call Barbara Boxer home and send a new conservative leader to the United States Senate. That new leader is Carly Fiorina. We are proud to endorse her as a fellow conservative who has real-¬‐world business experience and the guts and moxie to take on Barbara Boxer and win.

Carly is not a Washington insider. She is a proven business leader who understands the economy and advocates a strong national defense. And, she is a tough fiscal and social conservative who:

Democrats fear Carly more than any other candidate in the Republican primary. That’s why Barbara Boxer has been using Carly’s name in fundraising letters for nearly two years, while the California Democratic Party employs two full-time staffers to follow Carly around the state, and why numerous union-funded groups have launched independent expenditure efforts attacking her.

Carly Fiorina worked her way through undergraduate and graduate school, majoring in medieval history at Stanford University and earning two graduate business degrees from the University of Maryland and MIT. A self-made woman, Carly started her business career as a secretary and went on to become the first and, to date, the only woman to lead a Fortune 20 company, serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Hewlett-Packard Company. Most recently, Carly served on the Defense Business Board advising the U.S. Secretary of Defense on overall management of the department and as Director of Business Executives for National Security.

As conservative leaders in the United States Senate, we know you can count on the principled leadership of Carly Fiorina. We are confident that she will stand with us and stand up for you against the liberal special interests that have kept Barbara Boxer in Washington for almost 28 years.

This is a golden opportunity for the people of the Golden State to come together to elect Carly to represent them in the United States Senate. Please join us in supporting Carly’s campaign.

Sincerely,

TOM COBURN, M.D.
U.S. Senator (R-OK)

JAMES INHOFE
U.S. Senator (R-OK)

JON KYL
U.S. Senator (R-AZ)

Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund
Endorses Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate in California

April 27, 2010

Dannenfelser: “We’ve been waiting for Carly Fiorina for a long time—in fact, since the day Barbara Boxer was elected to the U.S. Senate”

WASHINGTON – Today the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund, a national pro-life political action committee, announced their endorsement of Carly Fiorina, candidate for U.S. Senate in California. Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented on the endorsement:

"We’ve been waiting for Carly Fiorina for a long time—in fact, since the day Barbara Boxer was elected to the U.S. Senate. From a pro-woman, pro-life perspective, there could be no greater contrast. She embraces and advances the rights of women and unborn children, following in the footsteps of the earliest women in politics. Susan B. Anthony and the early feminists understood, as Carly Fiorina does, that undermining the rights of one never advances the rights of another.”

The California Republican primary election is June 8th where Carly Fiorina will face Chuck Devore and Tom Campbell. The winner will challenge 18 year incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer in the general election. Senator Boxer is one of the most aggressive champions of abortion rights and is endorsed by EMILY’s List.

Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund endorsements are promoted to the organization’s nationwide membership of over 280,000 Americans. The SBA List Candidate Fund endorses pro-life female candidates, as well as pro-life male candidates who run against female candidates in favor of abortion rights. During the 2008 election cycle, the Susan B. Anthony List bundled over $1 million in direct candidate contributions from its members.

The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of over 280,000 Americans, residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.

CPLC (California Prolife Committee) Endorses Carly Fiorina

You have seen discussion of the California Governor's race on other places on this web site.  Today we want to discuss the candidates and campaign for the U.S. Senate nomination to replace Barbara Boxer.

Months ago we were in an enviable position, both candidates were pro-life.  Pro-life Assemblyman Chuck DeVore was running and Carly Fiorina, who had made public statements of being pro-life.  What remained was assertaining just how real those commitments were.

Fiorina is the former Chairman of Hewlett-Packard and her pro-life comments were in contrast to the typical Silicon Valley 'culture' of monied Republicans.  Her pro-life commitment meant she would be risking the alienation of some of her 'pro-choice' Rockerfeller Republican friends. It turned out that Fiorina was indeed genuine and has been endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List which only endorses 100% pro-life candidates.

Fiorina has since met with National Right to Life Committee leadership and committed to very specific issues of pro-life public policy.  Board members of California ProLife also met with her and all have been impressed by her genuine and heartfelt commitment to the cause of Life.

All of the election's dynamic changed when pro-abortion candidate Tom Campbell moved from the Governor's race to the U.S. Senate Race.  Would this create a scenario we've seen too many times before?  The pro-life candidates split the vote between them allowing the pro-abortion candidate to become the nominee. We hope not.

The Board of California ProLife has been watching this race carefully and hoping that Campbell would not pose a threat, but now the scenario is requiring incisive action.  DeVore has been attacking Fiorina for not being conservative 'enough' because she is seen as competing for his conservative base.  And Campbell has continued to gain in the polls posing as a conservative.

Perhaps most importantly, though all of CPLC's Board knows Chuck, all were equally concerned about his actual ability to break out beyond 'our base' to reach the wider electorate (which is how elections work.) Chuck has had a very hard time demonstrating the ability to raise the funds necessary to compete in a state the size of California, and this has been frustrating to many involved.

At the last reporting DeVore had $300,000 on hand; Fiorina $2,800,000; and Campbell $800,000.  Perhpas more importantly, like other statewide candidates of note, Fiorina also has substantial, personal financial resources she has still not drawn on.

Who will have the resources to close the gap on Campbell and then turn around and do the same to Boxer?

While DeVore is indeed pro-life and familiar to us all, Fiorina is clearly better situated to fight an incredibly expensive campaign in the most costly state of the union.

Carly Fiorina has shown a genuine personal commitment to life, as well as clearly articulated policy commitments.  Her husband's mother was told to abort him, but as Carly has said, it is his presence that is 'the rock of my life.' And as a recent cancer survivor she knows the threats posed by euthanasia and rationing.  She is assertively opposed to both, in addition to opposing the Obama plan for Healthcare.  She is outspoken against the 'climate mongering' which appears to have as a goal the reduction of human population.

She has been endorsed by the national pro-life women's group, Susan B. Anthony List and pro-life Senators Kyl, Graham, Coburn, McCain, and Inhofe.

California ProLife Council PAC has added its endorsement as well.  CPLC's endorsement of Carly is not a repudiation of Chuck DeVore as much as it is an earnest desire to defeat both Tom Campbell and Barbara Boxer.  In our considered opinion, Carly Fiorina is the pro-life candidate that can do that.

What are you talking about? Palin was behind Rubio when he wasn’t given a chance. The press was making fun of Rubio for that. Then they were making fun of Palin at an event where she said how much she loved Rubio and said, “call me.”

No endorsement is better, by FAR, than endorsing the HP dingbat.

DeMint is not a big name to you and neither is Hunter or Levin? Wow, no wonder you come across as RINO cheerleader.
