Either you are a troll or just stupid.

Like the gal in Milwaukee who wanted to punish Arizona because they shouldn’t complain , they don’t live on the border of Mexico.

Lot of stupid people

I have the feeling several posters think they’re voting for Senator from Free Republic, not from California. Conservatives ran a candidate in the GOP primary. He lost. Now they can have more Boxer or Fiorina. I’d take my chances if I were still voting in CA.

If nothing else, I DO wish FReepers would consider there may be yet another SCOTUS appointment before 2012. We need every vote possible to thwart Obama’s agenda. And that ain’t Boxer.

Can not agree with you on the situation in California. Glad to see that we do agree on the issue of McCain being bad for the country.

I live in Mesa AZ, UCLA graduate - escape LA in 1980, escaped CA in 1985.
I have worked 10 years in Indianapolis IN for 10 years, before moving to Mesa, AZ. I travel USA on contract work assignments. Does that help?

You are spot on.

There are too many FReepers who are in the land of unicorns and rainbows.
They have no sense of reality.

Do you have any clue of how the population of California has changed since Reagan was elected governor?

You could say the same exact thing for the entire United States.

Fact is, over one million MORE Californians voted for Bush, than did Texans, as recently as 2004.

That being said, at the rate were going, and as corrupt government has become, you'll have a pro illegal alien Hispanic president in office within 12-16 years.

By then I would imagine things will be really bad, worse than most imagine.

Only a dingbat RINO like carly could lose to such a worthless marxist b*tch. Just like dingbat RINO McCain got slaughtered by the red diaper doper baby.

I did almost add parenthetically (and the US) re changes in CA population. I don’t think there’s a state that doesn’t have a significant illegal population. It’s just worse in the southwest.

Our government won’t improve, however, if we seek perfection. Never was, never will be perfect. If Fiorina is only 80% conservative, that’s 80% better than Boxer. And on most of the key issues, she would be voting with the majority of GOP Senators. That could never be said for Boxer. Never.

Are we better off with Scott Brown in the Senate? Or were we all happier with Teddy Kennedy? MA is a blue state, too, and Brown won’t cast a conservative vote every time. A Senator does have to vote in his state’s interest. That doesn’t mean we want Teddy back.

Fiorina may not be the conservatives’ top choice, but for now she’s their best choice of what’s available in CA. Jeff Sessions and Jim DeMint couldn’t get elected in CA any more than Boxer or Saunders could get elected in CA or VT.
If elected, Fiorina would empower Sessions/DeMint in the same way a ‘moderate’ Dem like Bayh empowers Boxer just by being in the same caucus. But don’t let that get in the way of ideological purity.

The way to stop that dreaded future you envision is for people to vote realistically based on where they live, and accept they are not always going to get everything they want. It’s virtually impossible for any “RINO” to do more damage to this country than has been done by Obama and his compliant Democrat Congress for the past 1.5 years. Why would any conservative do anything to give them one moment’s more power?

I disagree with that. I fear that once this RINO gets in we won’t be able to get her out for awhile. She is bad news.

Like Mccain.

I don't follow you. Let's say you're exactly correct.

Which would mean we'd have a McCain duplicate instead of Barbara Boxer. Much as I despise McStain, I'd take that any day. If we'd had that for the last six years we wouldn't have Obama care, or anything else that passed the Senate by 60 votes since 2007.

Look. The primary is over. Now it's Fiorina or Boxer.

That has to be one of the best and truest comments I have seen in some time.

I voted for Devore.
I'm not a Fiorina fan... But Boxer HAS to go. I'm voting for Fiorina without any hesitation in the Fall ...
Whitman I'm still mulling over. She's made a few 'weird' comments after the Primaries.

was it Franklin who said,...(paraphrased) this is the worst form of government in the world, next to every thing else.

Fiorina was not my first choice, but between her and ----> Senator <--- Boxer, the scale definately leans toward Fiorina vs what Babs has, and will continue to represent.

Wish there were a few million like you here in CA.

I don't really blame folks who don't know what it's like to go shopping and looked at in disdain by clerks who resent having to accommodate English speaking customers!

Who would believe it?

Carly Fiorina is a godsend to wipe out Boxer, and good for her trying to capture the Hispanic vote.

Fiorina told reporters after her event that she supports a three-step approach to immigration reform, starting with sending more resources to secure the border with Mexico, then revamping the flawed guest worker program and going after employers that continue to hire undocumented workers.

... Fiorina's campaign unveiled a new website, "Amigos de Carly" Saturday.

... Fiorina declined to take a position on offering a legal path to citizenship.

"There is no point in talking about anything else until we get these first things done," she told reporters. When pressed, she added: "When we secure the border, and when we have a temporary worker program that works, then you come ask me that question again."

Another sleazebag RINO politician who talks out of both sides of her mouth.
