Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin's endorsement of Carly Fiorina in California's Senate race has prompted a fervent blowback on her Facebook page, long Palin's safe haven for delivering her message.
The revolt is coming from Palin supporters who also back Chuck DeVore a tea party favorite who is campaigning against Fiorina in the Republican primary.
Palins Facebook page is littered with comments opposing her endorsement of Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard.
The only REAL CONSERVATIVE is Chuck DeVore. Fiorina is a RINO and we don't need any more of those in [California], one irate commenter wrote. Why wouldn't you back Chuck DeVore???
Sorry Sarah but I think Chuck DeVore is the conservative candidate you should be supporting, added another, who was followed up by a DeVore supporter who wrote: I don't agree with this endorsement AT ALL! What are you thinking Sarah?

To bad you push a person who isn’t running and won’t run and did’t get to first base in 08 or would ever.
You are in a delusional mind set and have become a laughing stock
Rick Perry
John McCain
Carly Fiorina
Lets say you are missing a bigger pattern.
Doug Hoffman
Michelle Bachmann
Sean Duffy (Who scared David Obey out of the race)
Adam Kinzinger (IL-11th)
Rand Paul
Tom Emmer - for Gov. Minnesota
Tim Burns - PA-12th
Maj. Vaughn Ward - Idaho 1st
Lt. Col. Allen West - FL-22nd
And more.. its not that bad a pattern.
When it comes to keeping the enemy out of office, one has to decide what matters most. Some go for the half empty glass, some for the empty one. But it’s all politics.
This REALLY, REALLY pisses me off. Not that Palin endorsed her, per se. Maybe they became good friendson the campaign trail or something.
What pisses me off are the morons here cheering on Fiorina as if the RINO was Margaret Thatcher returned. Here we are - a once in a generation chance to actually elect constitutional conservatives because of the Tea Parties, the abhorrence of Obama’s marxism, the appetite for scrapping the bloated Federal Gov, the bit talk radio push (FINALLY) for genuine small gavernment conservatism, and what happens? The NRSC endorses a gaggle of worthless, “moderate” senate candidates and the rank and file GOPers follow along like neutered pet monkeys.
I get it in my state. Supposed conservatives chanting for two time loser milquetoast Dino Rossi to run against Murray. The man couldn’t ever beat a feminist dingbat that makes Murray seem sharp, yet only squishy Dino “can win”.
F*** IT!
I have not been able to find in Palin the Margaret Thatcher I hoped for.
All lipstick.....no plan.....you betcha.
Don't give rat's about what Palinbots think or emote.
Fiorina? You've got to be ****ing me.
Got news for ya. 95% chance DeMint will run.
The criticism of Sarah Palin is not justified. She is looking at information that you and me have no access to.
Heh...well, so far, it doesn’t seem to matter... They all spend us into poverty and make laws that make no sense. What do we do for that?
There was one time that I noticed two FRs who were posting bashes (because Sarah endorsed McCain) and the two names had joined on the identical day in 2004, one post after the other.
Palin is right, Devore never got traction, and none of us want Tom Campbell to win.
I sincerely hope so.
If she had as much info as me, she might be smart.
You prefer Tom Campbell?
This is called the slippery slope fallacy. I know you are a rational person. Its your money. And perhaps it will help, but DeVore is only getting 13% of the REPUBLICANS in California and he has been running a year! The fight between DeVore and Fiorina showed both of them weak enough that Campbell entered the race and this is what Palin is cautioning about. Imagine Olympia Snow on her worst day... and you don't get to Campbell.
Thats the problem, this is not a choice between anyone and DeVore anymore.. all he can do is muck things up now.. and he seems determined to do that.. at the moment.. just like Crist.
What you have here are males who don’t like strong women and use every other angle to attack rather than their real
obsession.
Bitchy gals who are jealous Of Sarah’s looks.
And the assorted Liberal Trolls
It was strange that she ever got labeled the one true Conservative anyway, given her record.
Hello there... No problem though, Free Republic will get you through this... Just take a deep breath and continue your platform... (Yes, you are a bit paranoid)..
If CA republicans elect RINOs, it won’t be DeVore’s fault, anymore than it was McClintock’s fault the moronic voters chose Arnold.
“Id like to know the percentage of those who are going on her wall and trashing her about her Fiorina endorsement actually live in California”
What does it matter. The only way to win nationally is for all the house and senate elections to be “nationalized”.
I was one of Sarah’s first supporters here on FR and on FaceBook. I’m not so sure anymore.
BTW, I’ve worked for Fiorina and though I cant say that I know her, I have met her on a couple of occasions. I can tell you she is no conservative, and not what we need in Washington.
Now there is your real RINO who brown nosed Mitt in 08
