Id 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 Im 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, shes running for the right reasons. She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. Shes not a career politician. Shes 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 Americas 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 Californias liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. Im a huge proponent of contested primaries, so Im glad to see the contest in Californias 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 youll 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. Lets help Carly do it!

Your argument is weak. You first of all are saying RINOS like McCain...assuming Fiorina is a RINO...exactly what is it you disagree with?
California does have a large majority of people who like us are against gay-marriage, but then some of same people may be pro-choice or pro-immigration reform.
There are people in the church, conservatives that voted for Obama, they like him, they are crunchy granola..”we are the world” type of people and their God is love, but it is a different love...the love of human rights not individual rights.
You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. That is Republican, Conservative suicide politically. What you live as a Conservative or Christian is your individual right and I can understand if you cannot vote for someone pro-choice, but I dont believe Fiorina is? Correct me if I am wrong.
This has been asked by many people: Please point out the policy stances that make Carly a RINO?
Will this help Fiorina in CA at all ? Seems to me it might hurt her?
I never said she was a RINO, I said her record is being distorted by her supporters to make her into something she isn’t and more importantly, she is a politician first.
There are no political messiahs, only the day to day gritty work of politics. The higher on the pedestal you put the farther they fall...as they all inevitably do.
“In April 2009, the business magazine web site Condé Nast Portfolio listed Fiorina as one of “The 20 Worst American CEOs of All Time”, characterizing the HP-Compaq merger as a widely regarded failure, and citing the halving of HP’s stock value under Fiorina’s tenure.”

Now tell me, are you prepared to toss them all aside because they've endorsed a RINO?
Are you saying we can never meet eye to eye with liberals on anything> we cant walk side by side with fellow Americans on any subject, even if we agree?
That is why we are in the mess we are in.
Sarah may have done DeVore a favor. Fiorina had been fading vs. Campbell. The endorsement might bring votes from Campbell to Fiorina. It won’t bring many from DeVore to Fiorina. Ergo: Fiorina and Campbell beat up on each other more effectively for the “moderate” vote, leaving the path clearer for DeVore.
Unseat Boxer.
Bad, bad move. Who is advising her? The guy in charge of her PAC is Greta Van Susteren’s husband. A dem and very shady character,
Because too many want perfection. Perfection simply does not exist, let alone exist in a politician.
Sadly, I’ve come to the same conclusion.
And yes, the Status Quo had definitely got to go.
Thanks for the comments.
I agree with you that a person should NEVER be put on a pedestal. NEVER, they are human, they make mistakes, they will make choices you don’t agree with, just gotta live with it. When I read she endorsed Fiorina I was shocked, not that she endorsed her, that she even got involved in this race. This is freakin California man, why would anyone want to get involved in this race. Maybe later on, but not now. Is Sarah Palin perfect, HELL NO..of course not..anyone who says she is is a nut, but the end, as far as I’m concerned, she can endorse anyone she darn well pleases, I won’t be going to the polls and saying “I’m voting for this person because Sarah Palin told me to” I can make up my own mind, hopefully others will too
Do you think Californians are happy with their state being $100 million upside down?
Do you think Californians are happy that their local governments are being robbed of their treasury to finance Sacramentos pipe dreams?
Do you think Californians are happy with the homosexual agenda being spoon fed to their children?
Do you think Californians are happy with 12.5% unemployment?
Do you think Californians are happy knowing hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs positions are being filled by illegal aliens?
What is the make up of the CA state legislature? The answer to that question will clearly answer all of your questions.
“Will this help Fiorina in CA at all ? Seems to me it might hurt her?”
Palin helped McCain in Arizona. If Palin wasn’t helping Fiorina she wouldn’t be there.
Carly Fiorina ain’t it though. She is pro-muslim, anti-Israel. Someone is advising Palin and not in her best interest either. It almost looks like sabatage.
Yes, I’ll side with Sarah on this one. Carly is OK in most respects. And Sarah is showing some real political savvy. We need that.
Shrill baby shrill.
