If conservatives spent the next 4 weeks donating to DeVore and volunteering for him, then Chuck can win. Fiorina is no better than Campbell. Remember this:
Fiorina: There is a "racist tone" to immigration debate.
Campbell, DeVore Support AZ Immigration Law, Fiorina Undecided
Well, the citizens of California don’t. I guess we should certainly back her though. Sarah said we should. Now fall in line like a good little peckerhead... (ah, no thanks) ;-)
What do you mean, "even if we agree?" I do NOT agree with the envirotards on "global warming." It's an evil, anti-human cult, and Newt bought into it, completely conceding the premise. I'm saying we can NOT surrender to the lefties on "global warming." Newt's already done so.
That is why we are in the mess we are in.
We're in the mess we're in because we don't spend enough time acting as Nancy Pelosi's poodles? Bull.
On Carlys entrance into the race, [Chuck] Devore called her an establishment Republican.
Carly Fiorina was recruited by the establishment, for the establishment. She already has a $3.5 million house in DC, in the Georgetown region, that she bought back in 2005 after she was fired from Hewlett Packard. Shes been measuring the drapes in the US Senate for some time now.
Shes a moderate, all the press accounts properly call her a centrist, a moderate, a pragmatist. Look at the people endorsing her. Youre going to get Olympia Snowe; you get Susan Collins, Lyndsey Graham. Shes backed by the moderate DC establishment.
On Carlys bailout and stimulus comments, DeVore states that she is supportive of Barack Obama and Barbara Boxer.
This is John McCains chief economic advisor, at a time when John McCain suspended his campaign and went back and voted for the disastrous troubled asset relief program that bailed out Wall Street. And many political pundants believe thats when John McCain lost his campaign, when he joined Barack Obama and George W. Bush in fundamentally overturning the free market system with money borrowed from China.
On Carlys comments in the past, Devore references her columns in the business trade magazines.
She says shes against the stimulus, but if you read the trade publications that she has written for, she has said things like (about Obamas stimulus) her comment that no money went to bio-tech and it all went to roads, or she also said that it was good that millions went to the broadband industry.
On Carlys support of Cap and Trade, DeVore references her bi-partisan stance with Senator Lyndsey Graham.
She has said good things about Cap and Trade, and praised Senator Lyndsey Grahams supposedly bi-partisan work with John Kerry, one of the most liberal members of the Senate, over his Cap and Trade energy tax; that Barbara Boxer is now pushing through Congress.
On Carlys support of government regulation of the Internet, DeVore mentions her desire for more regulations.
She was very clearly asked by the interviewer; do you believe there needs to be more government control, and or regulation of the Internet? And you heard her with her own words that she is for more government oversight of the Internet.
Theres big difference between regulating content and free speech on the Internet and going after actual criminals. You see, anything that is illegal in real life is still illegal online, like child pornography. Is she intimating that women need protection from free speech online? Or that a woman that voluntarily agrees to be photographed in certain suggestive posses, that she needs protection from big government; to come in and tell her that she shouldnt do that? With free speech comes personal responsibilities.
“I also believe she made a difference in McCains transformation to conservative in AZ...but how long will it hold???”
She didn’t help his ‘transformation’...there is no change in McCain, just more lies. We know he’s a liar...why doesn’t she...or maybe she doesn’t care. She boosted McCAin’s poll numbers in Arizona, she’s done her damage there, now on to California!!!

I couldn’t describe it better myself. The Conservative political landscape IS in ruins. It’s so bad that a Tea Party had to erupt from nowhere, because nobody but nobody was representing Conservative ideals.
Why did that happen if RINOs in positions of authority was good for Conservatism?
The GOP has so severely jumped the shark, it’s just pathetic to defend it any longer.
It’s a law of nature than any void will be filled. There is a massive void in Conservative leadership and backbone, and I’m going to point it out at every opportunity.
I want my nation back, and I want it NOW.
“But then you knew this right?”
I know that your state legislature is run by the hard left, and they were voted there by your neighbors.
Or in Massachussetts, right? Oh, wait....
This year, in this climate, a conservative can beat Boxer. A very conservative guy lost to her in 1988 due to a last minute dirty trick. California passed prop 187 in 1994, passed the anti-gay marriage law in 2008. It has terrible unemployment. They haven't given illegals the vote YET. Devore can win, but not if people give in to the party elite at the outset. Go along with them if they win the primary, but don't cave in to the RNC when they tell us at the beginning who they want. Take the party back or those of us who are conservative will have to leave at some point.
How do you think Marco Rubio is going to win? Let me clue you in: Charlie Crist is WAYYYYY more conservative than Fiorina. Look at his record. And look at hers.
Wow 230+ replies*!!!
Ah, com’on, you think with that kind of attitude you are ever going to change someones mind? When you resort to names like “peckerheads”, it is really hard to take you serious.
Don't believe in messiahs. There is no one who is the "ONLY one".
There are a few good conservatives. She was on my list, and this is the first time she really disappointed me. I hope she doesn't make it a habit. But I also don't believe in building a cult of personality around her.
Ron Paul is an idiot.
I’m voting for Devore, but it is going to take alot of money and name recognition to beat boxer and icarly may be in a better position to win in Nov. Still, I don’t see the point of SP becoming involved in this primary fight.
Sounds like Sarah has viewed the race, discounted DeVore’s chances, doesn’t like Campbell at all and has decided to use her political capital to back the one she thinks will be Boxer’s opponent.
FWIW, I’ll cast my primary vote for DeVore, but vote AGAINST BOXER in the general election.
“....So her choices certainly are the best to get the most seats we can get.....”
I think we need to decide who the hell “WE’ are! This is a CONSERVATIVE forum, not a RINO forum, right??? Or is it??
Sarah, evidently, has made up her mind to support rinos over conservatives, which is what got us in this entire mess. The public is largely CONSERVATIVE. Instead of allowing any vetting of these candidates during a primary, some of you, including Palin, insist we settle for the same old crappola, election after election. I’m tired of the RINO’s running everything while being pushed and propped up by the likes of Palin. She’s become a camelion, I can’t tell what she’s about any more.
Yes, DeVore in the primary and AGAINST BOXER in the general election.
