Palin Endorses Pro Life, Traditional Marriage, Military, Anti-Amnesty & 100% NRA Rated Carly Fiorina
Posted on 05/06/2010 7:02:49 PM PDT by FTJM
Way back in November, right after announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in California, Republican candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina told conservatives in Washington that she "shared Sarah Palin's values." Today, Palin returns the favor.
Carly is the Commonsense Conservative that California needs and our country could sure use in these trying times. Most importantly, she’s running for the right reasons. She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. She’s not a career politician. She’s a businesswoman who has run a major corporation. She knows how to really incentivize job creation. Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits. We can trust Carly to do the right thing for America’s economy and to make the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career.
Fiorina, who's struggled a bit to regain front-runner status in the primary race since former congressman Tom Campbell entered it, has collected endorsement after endorsement from national conservative groups -- especially anti-abortion rights groups. The most conservative candidate in the race, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, has been endorsed by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and the Tea Party Express, so there you go if you're looking for a story of "tea party infighting."
UPDATE: DeVore spokesman Joshua Trevino reacts:
Sarah Palin's endorsement brings with it tremendous media attention, but not necessarily votes. Conservative activists in California know and like Chuck DeVore -- and that's our bottom line.
I think the best I can do is point you toward the responses from the conservative base on Palin's Facebook page, and on Twitter: there's a lot of them respectfully but firmly telling the former Governor that she's been misled here. And they're right.

In this state, Fiorina has a better chance to beat Boxer. She’s not as conservative as DeVore but she can win, and she’s a helluva lot better than Boxer.
OH SNAP! Right on Joshua :-)
Ummmm Fiorina is pro-Amnesty so Palin is lying. She just called anybody that was for the AZ law a racist.
I agree with Palin. Tom Campbell is a Rino, and he has voted the wrong way often. Carly is a better choice.
Ummmm Fiorina is pro-Amnesty so Palin is lying. She just called anybody that was for the AZ law a racist.
You've got the wrong information about her being "pro-amnesty".... I think you're confusing a "methodology" with an "issue" -- and they are two different things.
She is definitely not pro-amnesty ... See this from ...
Jan Evans: Carly Fiorina has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List. She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-military, and pro-strict border security and against amnesty. She is against Obamacare and will vote to repeal it and prevent the government takeover of private companies and industries.
The fallacy of CA Pro-Life Council’s Endorsement of Carly Fiorina...
...in a conversation to with the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board, Fiorina affirmed that she was personally pro-life, but reiterated her support for Sotomayor, saying, “I do not believe where a potential judicial nominee stands on that issue [of abortion rights] is a qualifier or an unqualifier.”
(snip)
She then went on to characterize the entire American pro-life movement as essentially a waste of time, saying: “[M]any, many voters are going to conclude while that is a very important issue, it is frankly a decided issue. The law is clear in the state of California, where there is a constitutional guarantee to the right to an abortion. So why are we talking about a theoretical issue?”

“Sen. Feinstein has been a fine senator for the state of California, and has accomplished a great deal. I would describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver,” Fiorina told Chronicle reporters and editors during an interview with the newspaper’s editorial board. “I admire her, I respect her. I like her. I think and I hope she would say the same about me.”

Carly Fiorina praises Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition:

Fiorina draws ire of right with praise for Rev. Jesse Jackson, push for more women in politics
“In the past 40 years, there are very few people who have used their talent ... to achieve more things for more people in more places than Reverend Jackson,” she said in a 2003 speech posted on HP’s Web site. “And we are all better off for his leadership.”

Tell me, why is it that RINOS are always being said to have a better chance of winning?
She’s got a good point there, in that it’s not in the justices themselves, and we do have a long history of the law so far, unfortunately — and the fact of the matter is that it’s entirely legal, whether you or I or anyone else likes it.. The solution is in a Constitutional Amendment... and it’s not in a Supreme Court justice.
So, you want to dismiss the entire California Pro-Life Council Endorsement, because you disagree with a methodology she has for the Pro-life issue... LOL ...
And I’ve always thought the solution was in a Constitutional Amendment, too ... so, I suppose that means I’m not pro-life either ... :-)
Huh? Trevino needs to lay off the bottle.
Tell me, why is it that RINOS are always being said to have a better chance of winning?
When I see someone like this candidate being endorsed and see the following ...
Jan Evans: Carly Fiorina has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List. She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-military, and pro-strict border security and against amnesty. She is against Obamacare and will vote to repeal it and prevent the government takeover of private companies and industries.
Then I want to see that candidate get the most votes possible, and beat the opposition. And if that means that you call this kind of candidate a RINO, then perhaps you're looking for the candidate with the least possibility of winning, as your main criteria ... LOL ...
Let me ask you a question then. Has Fiorina advocated a Constitutional Amendment on the matter?
“Tell me, why is it that RINOS are always being said to have a better chance of winning?”
Not always, but in lib states, hard core conservatives can’t win statewide office. And Rinos are more palatable to the general population. It seems relatively straight forward.
Good for Fiorina.
Looks like I will have to disagree with Sarah once again with the other being McQueeg. I still support Chuck Devore. In the end I may well vote for Fiorina over Boxer. But for now Chuck it is.
Trevino is a solid Conservative (Ex-RedState)! You really ought to listen to him and explore his arguments - not disregard them outright.
Don’t listen to only these here - read up on all candidates.
Palin is attracted to the pro amnesty crowd.
I think the idea that Sarah Palin is pro-amnesty is something that is "trotted out" every chance the "Palin-haters" get to do it ... LOL ...
That's already been covered before ... but you probably weren't listening and probably won't now either ... :-)
So much for the Palin fan club.
