Free Republic

Sarah Palin started off her keynote speech at at this morning's Susan B. Anthony List "Celebration of Life" breakfast in downtown Washington D.C. with a defense of her endorsement of Republican California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. Palin justified picking Fiorina over the other Republicans in the primary race by remarking that "anyone bold enough to proclaim their pro-life stance -- or pro-NRA stance in a deep blue state" like California is "the real deal" when it comes to pro-life credentials.

Fellow conservatives, please welcome US Senate candidate from the great state of California, Lt. Colonel Chuck DeVore! Chuck is THE candidate in the race for the GOP Senate nomination who has a proven track record of both fiscal and social conservatism. He is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, and equally important, strictly pro-Constitution. He is currently serving his third term in the California Assembly and is a Lt. Colonel in the US Army Reserve. Chuck also was a Ronald Reagan appointee to serve as Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs in the Pentagon from 1986-88. And Chuck shares the Gipper’s philosophy on governance...

Once arrested, a terrorist suspect should be interrogated for information regarding any imminent terrorist attacks. That is the top priority. It is critical not to give such suspects the chance to delay answering questions while waiting for a court-appointed attorney. Reminding the terrorist suspect that he or she has the right to remain silent can only increase the possibility that the terrorist suspect will remain silent. It is completely contrary to our country's immediate interest in preventing the loss of innocent life from more terrorist attacks. It was, therefore, amazing to hear Carly Fiorina and Chuck Devore in the recent...

Fellow Freepers, on Friday Morning California Senate Candidate Chuck DeVore will be stopping by FR for an hour to say hello & answer a number of questions in an exclusive FR virtual 'Press Conference'. So please stop by and say hello to this rock-ribbed conservative. Chuck is fighting for the nomination against Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell for the privilege of knocking out the left wing harpy Barbara Boxer. Chuck is the only proven conservative in the race and is polling against Boxer as well or better than the other Republicans. Jim Robinson has been gracious enough to allow Chuck...

Chuck discusses the Obama Administration's shameful treatment of America's ally Israel -- and Chuck DeVore's long experience as a staunch friend of the same.

March 21, 2010 — http://www.ChuckDeVore.com - Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, candidate for U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer, talks about growing up in the Eastern High Sierra, working for President Ronald Reagan in the Pentagon and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After the SUSA poll came out, Erick and I both wrote in support of Chuck DeVore. I can’t really speak for Erick, but I am sticking with Chuck because I believe he is the right candidate on the issues and the late movement in this race is all going to Chuck DeVore. As the day progressed and the standard arguments fleshed out, I realized that Fiorina and Campbell are both in a bit of trouble going into this last month of the campaign. Fiorina is collapsing in all of the meaningful groups, Campbell has hit his ceiling and will begin...

It looks like Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Carly Fiorina in the California GOP U.S. Senate race is actually a “negative.” It also appears from the latest poll that Californians who care about the abortion issue are supporting Chuck DeVore, even though Fiorina (who supports the appointment of pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and campaigned as “pro-choice” for John McCain in 2008) inexplicably received the California Pro-Life Council endorsement. You want polls to prove that Chuck DeVore is on the way UP and Carly Fiorina is on the way DOWN? Here it is! Poll results from Team DeVore, followed by...

Although the big news has been that Poizner is now within striking distance of Meg Whitman in the CA Gov Republican Primary, I am going to focus on the CA Senate race poll results via SUSA. As I pointed out here (also at my blog), and is now confirmed by SUSA, Chuck DeVore has jumped 5 points in the polls. This positive movement for Chuck DeVore is contrary to the negative movement of Campbell and Fiorina in the 18-49 demographic*, 5 and 10 point drops respectively. This movement, both positive and negative, is a sign of the fluidity and indecision...

(CNN) – A prominent conservative is issuing an ultimatum, essentially telling the candidate he supports to do better in the polls – or lose his support. Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com, backs Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in the California Republican senate primary. DeVore is locked in a battle with former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Rep. Tom Campbell for the right to face Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in November. Speaking Tuesday with CNN Chief National Correspondent John King, Erickson – a CNN contributor - said he won't support DeVore much longer if the candidate does not improve his political standing....

Senate candidates supported by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina: _ Marco Rubio, Florida _ Rand Paul, Kentucky _ Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania _ Chuck DeVore, California _ Ken Buck, Colorado _ Mike Lee, Utah _ Michael Williams, Texas _ Marlin Stutzman, Indiana (lost in primary)

...Campbell said that if he were in the Senate, he would vote “no” on the nomination — with the caveat that he would consider any additional information that emerges in the Senate hearings. Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore would also vote against Kagan’s nomination if he were in the Senate, his spokesman said, adding that DeVore would release a statement detailing his reasons later this evening. Fiorina said she would reserve judgment until the vetting is completed. “Given Ms. Kagan’s brief litigation experience, lack of any judicial experience and in light of some of the information publicly available about her...

Following is a special message from Chuck DeVore regarding the Sarah Palin endorsement of Carly Fiorina. I just finished strong in a one hour debate with Tom Campbell and Carly Fiorina (to be broadcast Sunday morning -- we'll send you the media analysis when it comes in). But before I went to bed tonight I wanted to take a moment to type out some of my thoughts on the day’s news and provide you with an update on my campaign. If you didn’t hear, Sarah Palin posted a Facebook message earlier today about the California Republican primary. She bashed Tom...

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Establishment candidate Carly Fiorina over grassroots conservative favorite Chuck Devore triggered some grumbling among her supporters and offered an opportunity for Mike Huckabee -- who backs Devore -- to take a bite out of her right flank. Huckabee has been waging a kind of passive-aggressive new media campaign on the issue. Soon after Palin's announcement, he changed his Facebook status to read, "Just wanted to reiterate my support today for the strongest, proven conservative in the California Senate Race: Chuck DeVore."

“If Ms. Fiorina is what passes for conservative in Washington today, then the establishment has veered sadly to the left,” writes Arianna Packard, grand daughter of David Packard, the co-founder of HP, in a letter RedState has obtained a copy of. Back at the turn of the 21st century, David Woodley Packard, the son of the founder, went to war against Carly Fiorina over the HP-Compaq merger. Vanity Fair documented the merger wars. It was not pretty. Both the Hewletts and the Packards opposed the merger. The bitterness from the merger wars lingers on. Ms. Packard’s letter, written to Senators...

It was all the rage months ago in conservative circles - question Obama's citizenship. Every GOP hopeful has pretty much weighed in on the issue, with those pandering to the Republican base doing everything but coming out against the crazy conspiracy... until now. It seems that as campaigns hit high gear, now is the time to distance themselves from those who propagated such wild tales. Take into consideration California assemblyman Chuck DeVore. "The president is doing himself no favors by spending millions of dollars to block the release of documents surrounding his birth certificate," DeVore said to Dave Weigel. "As...

CA-SEN: Fiorina and the GOP Launch Last-Minute Back-Door Attack on Chuck DeVore Posted on 09 May 2010 by admin   Carly Fiorina: Win at all costs?  California Senate Race 2010:  Carly Fiorina and the GOP Launch Last-Minute Back-door Attack on Chuck DeVoreBy Jane Jamison, Copyright 2010, UNCOVERAGE.net Apparently, the Republican party “establishment” in California has forgotten about Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”  It was postulated by Reagan after he was viciously attacked in the primary for the California governor’s race in the 1960s.  (Read his whole speech about it here.)What is happening right now...

I appreciate Sarah Palin. I know sometimes you read that I’m somehow a critic of Palin’s, but truth be told, I love the lady. You can say all day that she doesn’t have the “intellectual curiosity” to be President — which is to Palin as “Cheney’s gravitas” was to Bush — but you cannot deny this woman is fundamentally conservative, Christian, and would be a heck of a lot better than the present guy in the White House. For all of you who deny her intellect, you cannot deny her gut is conservative. I appreciate that. She stood with Doug...

"Short answer to your question is yes, it is unconstitutional and for that reason, I signed a pledge to repeal Obamacare four months ago. Carly Fiorina signed it the day after it passed and Tom Campbell still signed the pledge. To go back to the previous question, though, I think it's very important what's going on in Afghanistan. It's very important that we understand that the Taliban and Al-qaida does not present a existential threat to the United States. They don't have an industrial base. They don't have armies. They're terrorists. Now, because of the fact that Afghanistan has no...
