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
It was a closed primary. Davis had nothing to do with it.
Look sweet cheeks, I haven’t “taken YOU to task” and you’ve shown enough defense to be drafted by the nfl. I made a couple of accurate observations about the political realities in your state based on the people that the electorate there vote into office and you jump down my friggin’ throat.
Buzz off.
I don’t worship anyone. That is for Obama supporters not me. She is just a person, a human being who makes mistakes and also does things I agree with and disagree with. Doesn’t mean I am going to come here and bash her. She has every right to support whoever she wants to. Many of the people she endorsed I was VERY happy with, a few not so happy with but at the end. I make my own decisions of who I vote for and who I don’t vote for
She is pro-life.
She believes in limited government and advocates cutting taxes and the budget.
She opposed Obamacare.
She favors the farmers in the Central Valley over the Delta Smelt.
She opposes legalization of drugs.
She opposes the closing of Gitmo.
She supports free trade.
She supports the death penalty.
She opposes amnesty for illegals.
In what possible way, other than as warped and desparate figment of Chuck DeVore's imagination, is Carly a RINO? Sarah endorsed her because of her positions on the issues, not in spite of them.
“Nobody is looking for perfection, most of us will be satisfied with not endorsing RINO’s.”
Weren’t you the one attacking many of us here for not supporting that rat f**k McCain?
That’s the main problem with DeVore, no one knows who the heck he is. Other then people here, who knows who Chuck DeVore is? Til I read his name on this forum I had never heard of the guy. How can someone win who doesn’t even have ONE TV Ad..I only see those annoying Whitman and Poizner ads
I hit a bit close to home, huh?
Sandy Koufax had some bad days. Michael Jordan didn’t make every game winning shot.
Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is going to make a perfect call all of the time.
I contend that by endorsing McCain and Fiorina, it is a chess match against Steve Schmidt. She is trying to play on his turf. And put a stop to all of the leaks and personal attacks that kept coming out after the campaign.
At the very least, it has given Bob J and his ilk some real purpose in their lives. Not really a a noble purpose, but a reason to get up every day nonetheless.
I wonder which group is actually larger now at FR the:
a.)”I hate Sarah Palin/Jim DeMint for President” crowd or the
b.)”Sarah Palin is a stupid c**t/Ron Paul for GOD” crowd.
It's gotta be close right now — we should really start a head count to see who is ahead.
Actually I think this can be played out both ways, it could help Fiorina or it could not help her. This is California after all, Sarah is popular here but not THAT popular. Now with her endorsement of Fiorina, people are going to start talking about DeVore, and maybe more people will learn more about him, because he doesn’t promote himself
It was a closed primary, but Davis ran ads in during the GOP primary season about Riordan flip-flopping on abortion in a successful attempt to get the conservative base to vote for the more beatable Simon. This was despite the fact that the gov. has no say in the abortion debate. Parental notification propositions are regularly defeated here and unlike the US Constitution, the CA Constitution has an express right to privacy.
So instead of having a governor like Riordan, who did a good job running LA, we got Davis.
JimRob does a wonderful job..
But if this were my web site. Bob J would be tossed out faster than a hot potato.
“She is pro-life”
Maybe personally but she wouldn’t vote for a law banning abortion at the federal level, would she?
They lose statewide elections. I know you all want DeVore to win, but he can't, and he wont'. This is like the old McClintock statewide races: everyone knew that McClintock was best for the state, he was years ahead of his time. All of his warnings have come true with a vengeance. But he couldn't be elected in blue California.
Palin has made the wise choice; not the popular choice with the Base, but the choice that has the best chance of beating Babs.
Good for her.
Best,
Chris
Carly is Pro-Life..
As a result, she has my support.
Riordan at 73 was too old for a first-term Gov anyway.
You don’t know a damned thing about my state that the leftist media hasn’t spoon fed you. You’re not on the ground here. You don’t see the subterfuge perpetrated by the RP state leadership here. You don’t see the absence of funding for Conservative candidates. You don’t see the absence of other mans of support for in-state candidates or candidates for federal offices.
None the less, here you are playing the part of an expert on the dynamics of my state’s political condition. You in your infinite wisdom have determined that the state must be leftist because Conservatives don’t win elections here.
And you think I’m out of line. What a hoot.
A google search came up with a number of links to information that, yes, she did help with McCain’s campaign.
She was a big figure in the McCain campaign. She was, because she was a RINO. What she says to get elected will be different than what she does.
Now, her buddy Juan, is also doing the same.
At least for the moment.
