This is why these soft, squishy Republicans keep losing in California. No one will vote for a Republican who’s afraid to sound like a real Republican. Worse here, she’s frightened to be around someone else who sounds like a real Republican.

Aaaahnold won here because he sounded like a Republican. (He hasn’t acted like one, but he at least sounded like one!) Pete Wilson won here because he sounded like a Republican. Prop. 187 and Prop. 8 passed here because the supporters of these measures were unafraid of their beliefs; they sounded like Republicans. Every squishy, scared-of-his-own-shadow RINO who’s run in this State as his Democrat opponent’s mini-me has lost. People here will not elect someone who thinks she has to apologize for being a Republican.

If Fiorina thinks that she can win as Boxer-lite, she’s in for a long, disappointing day come November 2.

Fiorina's campaign issued a statement afterward, saying that...she does not question the president's patriotism.

RINO is as RINO does.

Sarah Palin will also have issued this statement. We on blogs and right-wing talk show hosts can call Obama a Marxist, I have as well, but politicians cannot.

Fiorina is absolutely right to disavow this comment. Fight Obama and his radical agenda on the issues and avoid cheap name-calling.

California isn’t going to elect another Jim DeMint. So you just grit your teeth and say:

Better than Barbara Boxer.
Better than Barbara Boxer.
Better than Barbara Boxer.

There are legitimate reasons, however, for labeling Obama a narcissist and a Marxist. Why are we required to self-censor our opinions, particularly when the Left engages in mindless, untrue blather?

Well, they *do* both agree that "no American has a right to a job" -- even if they enforce the diktat in different ways.

Carly ran two great companies into the ground, Obama's doing his damndest to run the country into the ground.

Eff 'em both.

Cheers!

This tells me all I need to know about Carley. If she doesn’t have the courage to call Onada what he has called himself in the past, the woman is a RINO or worse. Onada is a Marxist. Terms like “progressive”, “liberal” and “left are simply Marxian euphemisms.

Carly and/or her research staff need to read FR a little more, preferably this post and following comments, for evidence of his marxism. Seems to me that all the evidence is rather difficult to ignore.

Did you see her on Hannity pretending that her Meg Whitman comments were that “Hannity is a tough questioner”? Which was a lie if you saw the video. Too bad we cannot field better candidates in sunny California.

Exactly!

The first video is already gone. I don't know why You Tube doesn't give up. Are they complete idiots? Do they not know people download these videos because they know You Tube will remove anything detrimental to the Fuhrer?

I know the left will scream about it, but the statement is 100% accurate. It needs to be followed up though with Obama’s overriding governmental philosophy: “From each according to his abilities to each according to his need.”

The sheeple will think that statement makes sense. It is undiluted Marxism. The truth hurts.

Most don't know that Mussolini was reared in a communist family and developed his brand of fascism to blend communism with his nationalistic beliefs developed during WW I. Also French syndicalism (control of business or governments by labor unions) was another root of fascism. (Please see Paul Johnson's "Modern Times".)

There's precious little difference between fascism/communism, indeed one could very reasonably argue today's China is actually a fascist country.

Maybe she is weak but just wealthy. People in CA may not know the difference.

As a US citizen that lives half his life in China, I can assure you that China IS a fascist oligarchy. In fact, in most ways the US is more communist than China, especially if you use the “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs” standard of Marxism for comparison. They really should be called the ChiCaps (for their economy is considerably more capitalistic than the US), and we should be the AmeriComs.

Obama isn’t a Marxist at all; there is nothing about his politics or actions that is “all for one, one for all”; it is about more for some and less for others, and the determination is based strictly on who is in power. Fascist to the end, clothed in an “egalitarian” veneer.
