The blog then supposedly “linked” to what it called CA Attorney General Complaint Against Chuck Devore.
Click on that link and what is found are two letters, one to California attorney general Jerry Brown (who is a Democrat running for governor) and another to the Federal Election Commission. The letters request that an investigation be started into Chuck DeVore’s purported misuse of government funds by having his volunteer campaign staff on the payroll of his state assemblyman’s office.
But this is where the “independent citizens’ group” story unravels:
–First of all, these letters are REQUESTS that DeVore be investigated. There is nothing anywhere that confirms an investigation by the state attorney general or by the Federal Elections Commission is underway. The blog headlines which imply FEC or attorney general’s investigations are ongoing are false. They are proliferating anyway.
–The RedCounty.com blog, (which has been linked or posted on various other websites as a reference piece, has been disseminated widely in the past 24 hours) purports that the complaints against Chuck DeVore are from an “independent agency.” That is simply not true.
The “citizens” group which sent the letters demanding Republican candidate for Senate Chuck DeVore be investigated for a possible crime has ties to the Carly Fiorina Republican Senate campaign, and to the California Republican Party. It could be that this interconnection of the three may itself be improper or illegal under election laws. At the very least, this is a bullying tactic that California voters deserve to know about before they vote in this primary.

For the record, Fiorina’s people told the OC Watchdog it’s just a coincidence that the “citizen’s group” shares an address with Carly’s campaign attorney. (crickets chirping.)

Just like it’s a coincidence that ACORN had the same address as SEIU and other left wing groups.
I’m very much anti-Carly, but to be fair, that was Meg Whitman who made that glowing comment on Van Jones.

But, isn’t it Carly that’s good friends with Jesse Jackson?
;-)
Yes, Fiorina showed them the money...
For a brief time it looked as if we had the R establishment on the run. Now they are restocking with younger RINOs.
Yes, Fiorina showed them the money...
She sure did.... since she's able to raise money to run a campaign... doncha know... it's one of the prerequisites to being a viable candidate... having a "campaign war chest" full of money and have people give you money to run a campaign.
Unfortunately for DeVore, he doesn't seem to have that ability ... oh well... :-) ... another "fail" for DeVore...
Life's just tough all over, ain't it?
Fiorina offers the R establishment self funding and funding from those in business who understand that a friend in D.C. can be a help with government contracts and other sticks and carrots our corrupt government has on offer to retain power.
She is Mitt Romney-in-a-skirt, but without the intelligence and business acumen. If this is the best “conservatives” in CA can do - if this is what they approve - we should give the state to Mexico.
