Palin Endorses Pro Life, Traditional Marriage, Military, Anti-Amnesty & 100% NRA Rated Carly Fiorina
A leftist reporter takes shots at Sarah Palin and this is what passes for a “news” story in San Francisco. Incredible.
Yikes. I’m a big Sarah fan, and definitely NOT a Carly fan; the latter nearly destroyed HP. Is Fiorina in any way a conservative? What to do?
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it."Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.
There is a LOT of wisdom on those words, especially that last paragraph. Reagan knew of what he spoke, and proved that such an approach was successful in building a conservative-leaning coalition. Unfortunately too many have forgotten or choose to ignore this sage advice from the Gipper...
Oh really, Sarah?
Rasmussen (April 12)
Carly Fiorina (R) 38%
Barbara Boxer (D) 42%
***
Chuck DeVore (R) 39%
Barbara Boxer (D) 42%
If you read her statement, she's supporting Fiorina, because she believes that she is the candidate who can defeat Boxer. Doesn't mean she doesn't like Devore, she just apparently believes that he can't pull in enough votes to retire Boxer.
So she endorsed Carly Fiorina in the primary, so what? Is that enough for you to accept the Chronicle's advice that this undermines Palin's credibility from now on to forever?
Is this enough to ignore anything else Palin says regarding other races in 2010 for the House or Senate?
That's what this piece is about. It's not about Fiorina, or dissing DeVore; it's about Palin. It's about the continuing mission to politically assassinate Sarah Palin before she takes down the Democrat party.

The wonderful thing about this thread is that it instantly identifies the truly rabid anti-Palin folk. It’s a good thing to know.
