Whitman draws GOP big guns to Peninsula

"As a band of noisy nurses derided her as "Queen Meg," Republican gubernatorial front-runner Meg Whitman brought a quartet of GOP heavy-hitters to the Peninsula on Friday night to raise a half-million dollars for her candidacy.

U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State George Shultz praised the former eBay CEO as a smart and pragmatic woman who would keep California from plunging over a cliff.

"She can get the job done," said Shultz, now a fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution."

She’ll never get my vote, ever, Primary or General.

I do not vote for people who believe it is OK to kill your unborn baby.

She is a pro abortion gun grabber!!!!!! I don't even care to hear anymore.
I will never vote for her. If the truth is well known she will not get the rural and urban conservative vote. All of us need to spread the word or she will buy this race.

Dear California,
I am SO sorry for you. What are your choices if not worse to worser?

The republican governor choices in this primary are not good. Whitman and Poizner are both RINOs. Naritelli is brand-spanking-new to politics and wants to start at the top of the state ladder. But, I might vote in the primary for Naritelli . . . mostly because I-Caucus supports him. Do I think he will carry the primary? No. But what else to do. Any suggestions from my fellow Californians?

Changed my mind.

Dog with more fleas and a tick, living off their host.

Mitt, you are a tick looking to get your host bigger so you can grow.

If you were a boil, you would be lanced.

This is going to be the Pubbies biggest problem, we cannot find a candidate worth a dam. Why throw away your vote voting for someone without a ghost of a chance of winning, and The other one from H/P is no better.

More RINOs there than they have in Africa. California is doomed if this is the best the Repubs can field.

"I do not vote for people who believe it is OK to kill your unborn baby."

Meg Whitman was for State Funded abortions. She also supported Barbara Boxer. Whitman is a RINO.

Three strike's............YER OUT!

And that is the conundrum we are offered every election.

A choice of lesser evil or slower velocity.

You would rather have moon beam brown who is that and much much more. Wow.

Are you going to wait for the 10 + million in LA county, most of whom are hard core liberal rats of one flavor or another and the millions of gays and other rats in the bay area to vote for a conservative? Good luck.

Choose between a 50% of what we want or a guy that is a communist dictator .... or move out of the state.

I can not stand McPOS but AZ should be electing conservatives as it is a conservative states not a liberal state tolerating a RINO.

I can not stand gun grabbers or abortion lovers either but this is ca. If the conservative states would vote for conservatives the liberals and RINO’s in CA would not be able to get away with what they do. Second Amendment would be followed via the federal constitution and row v wade would be gone.

Oh well I will vote as conservative as I can in the primary, donate $ to conservatives in other states and pray. But in the end I will vote for the person that will do less damage to my country (state), my God and my family.

“” Any suggestions from my fellow Californians?”

Poisner is our only hope of keeping the communist loving Meg out of Sacramento.

Conservatives voting for the unknowns will split the vote anf guarntee Meg wins.

“Whitman is a RINO.”

She doesn’t even qualify as that, she has never voted and only registered Republican because she was recruited by Pete Wilson and Romney.

Every donation she has made has veen to liberal democrats.

The thing is people who do not live here and some that do, do not get it. It is our conundrum. I laugh at these post. IMHO people with out a clue. CA IS A LIBERAL STATE! Those of us who chose to live here deal with it. Look at all the conservative states that elect hard core socialist rats. Look here and throw these scum out, elect conservatives take over the federal government and do what the rats do shove our ideas down there throat. Enforce the 3nd amendment, over turn row v wade lower federal taxes, ect. Then the state gov of ca will be limited in what harm they can do.

If we could just get Meg, Babs Boxer, and Nancy Pelosi to go back home to Mass., New York, and Maryland we’d be OK.....(Ah well...there are a few others too.... about 20 million of them that should go home! I support reverse California emmigration! .... LOLOLOLOLOL

California used to be a fairly dependable Republican and conservative State.....after all what other state can say they elected Ronald Reagan for Governor? And not just once, but twice! Emmigration ruined any chance of that happening again for anyone of RR’s calibre.....

Our fruits and nuts are most often not Home Grown*....how they ever got past the Agricultural Inspection Stations has me perplexed....LOLOLOLOLOLOL...

*Jerry Brown is the exception that proves the rule...LOLOLOL
