I’d 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 I’m 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, she’s running for the right reasons. She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. She’s not a career politician. She’s 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 America’s 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 California’s liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. I’m a huge proponent of contested primaries, so I’m glad to see the contest in California’s 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 you’ll 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. Let’s help Carly do it!
- Sarah Palin
Palin’s defacto positions are pro-amnesty, pro-campaign finance reform, and pro-global warming by her enthusiastic support for the likes of McCain, Fiorina, and their ilk. She (and Obama) will appreciate your support.
He needs an energetic base, not an angry one. He has got to get his name out there if he wants a chance? I personally dont even know who he is. Maybe herd his name once...Fiorina already has name recognition. Unfortunately in an election that’s half the battle. The other is your message...dont know his....I know boxers well and Fiorina...I would choose Fiorina anyday over boxer?
Chuck DeVore? Who are you? (playing devils advocate here)
” 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?”
HALLELUJAH!
Thanks - that’s the recipe. :)
Does Chuck DeVore stand a chance of beating the Democrats? When picking a candidate, you must deal in the real world, not in wishful thinking. Perhaps that's what Palin is doing here.
Don't even get me started on what her endorsement of Rand Paul represents.
And evidently Josh, you think that nothing has taken place over the last year to cause folks to think about what is taking place. Is that your learned opinion?
I’m saying that if we put up a Conservative candidate for national office, fund him and give him our full support, he will win.
If he gets the nomination and the Republican party leadership pulls the same general election disappearing act it’s pulled for the last twenty years, probably not.
During general elections in California, the Left pulls out all the stops. They pour tens of millions of dollars into them. They bring all the big names out to California and make numerous big campaign swing through the state. The Republican party doesn’t lift a finger to provide funds for Conservatives. Last time around, Bush flew into the state for a few hours once, perhaps twice.
Pete Simon ran his last campaign in California on just a few million dollars. And hardly anyone came to California to help him. A few names did show up once or twice, but their status compared to the people the Democrats brought out was embarrassing. Davis had over ten million dollars to run his campaign. And you know what, Simon made a very respectable showing on 20% of the budget the left came up with.
The Democrats think California is worth fighting for. They pull out all the stops every election. Our side doesn’t.
Then I get people from back East explaining to me that Conservatives can’t win in California and that the citizens of California are devout leftists.
This is tantamount to seeing us send in 20,000 U.S. troops against 100,000, denying them air support, failing to provide them ammunition, and watching the other side loft an incredible propaganda campaign unchallenged, then saying our troops are just inferior.
OK IT WAS FUN...GOT TO GO BECK IS UP TO BAT!!!
Same argument, different election. Sorry, I'm tired of wearing the clothespin on my nose every time I vote. I think she should have endorsed DeVore -- it would have given him a boost and a fighting chance to win.
That makes you an expert right?
Tell me, which district in California have you been involved in during one of those elections?
Tell me what the dynamics were. I’d like to hear your personal story.
And with you acting the part of one, it’s impossible to take you serious. Thanks for playing.
Don Pardo, please give this nitwit his parting gifts...
AuntB, with cohorts like this...
I’ll agree that McClintock had a better shot than most people gave him credit for. However, the election of Davis was the cause of the problem. If Riordan (RINO, but did a good job as Mayor of LA) had been the nominee instead of the unelectable Bill Simon, the whole fiasco could’ve been avoided. Davis knew that Riordan would’ve probably beaten him and that’s why Davis had the base defeat Riordan in the primary.
I need not “tell you” a damned thing, you simply need to look at your state legislature. Those quasi-commies were voted into those offices by someone.
Oh, btw, in my own state I have and will cointinue to work for conservatives for local and state offices. It doesn’t make my state legistlature any more conservative but I do what I can.
That one’s gonna leave a mark.
I do agree that Fiorina is the most likely to defeat Boxer, while certainly not the most Conservative candidate. You must remember, this is California, the same State that elects loony, wacko left wing Mayors. Anyway you cut it, the Republican nominee will have to SOME support from this same loony voting block.
Mixed feelings here.
lol
It was enlightening and I think we can agree we are in a mess...all the best. I love our constitution and pray for this country. When kids can’t have a bible in school it’s pretty scarey.
Well i guess I had he pegged too, I drank the koolaid for a few days, then started feeling something was amiss,
In the video you posted, Carly was speaking in favor of John McCain. John favored cap and trade. Therefore, she spoke in favor of it. Her stated position on cap and trade is as follows:
"Barbara Boxer's cap-and-trade legislation and the EPA's regulatory steps will lead to more job losses and onerous regulation . . . . The job-killing bill Boxer is trying to force through the Senate ignores the negative economic impacts it will have on hardworking Americans." She goes on to call for a full review of the science behind climate change legislation.
