    A GOP 'clarifying moment' in Calif. primary The conservative challenging GOP establishment-backed candidate Carly Fiorina in the 2010 Republican U.S. Senate primary in California says his campaign is putting the lie to the notion that the Party needs a moderate, self-funded businesswoman to defeat incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer. California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore says he is not surprised or bothered that Carly Fiorina gained the backing of eight Republican U.S. senators last week in Washington. DeVore notes that he has been endorsed by 60 percent of California's elected Republican officials, including Congressman Tom McClintock -- people that can actually vote for...

    WATCH VIDEO (1:43)chuckdevore.com - Nobody is really sure what Carly Fiorina really stands for. In the past year she has supported the bailout parts of the stimulus, cap and tax, and other liberal policies proposed by President Obama and Barbara Boxer. Can we really trust Carly on these issues?

    Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) appeared on Fox News Channel this morning (see video) to discuss the unprecedented actions taken by Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) this morning. According to Inhofe, ranking member of the committee, Senator Boxer reported out S. 1733, the Kerry-Boxer climate change bill, without one member of the minority party present, a clear violation of longstanding committee rules.

    Nov 4, 2009 Chuck DeVore statement on Carly Fiorina Declaring her Candidacy FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- DeVore for California, the campaign organization for Chuck DeVore's bid for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in California, today welcomes the entry of Carly Fiorina to the race. Fiorina's arrival means Republican voters have a clear choice in this primary: between an establishment-picked, big-government moderate with lots of cash but little experience in public life -- and a volunteer-supported, proven conservative with a long record of civic engagement in Chuck DeVore. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore said, "I look forward to engaging Carly Fiorina on...

A revolution is brewing and come 2010, a day of reckoning will alter the course of our future drastically.

    Chuck DeVore on today's big issues and why he wants to take down Boxer “Everything Boxer says about cap and trade is not true.” That’s according to three-term Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine). DeVore is the lesser-known name in the Senate race that features the well-known, if not polarizing, Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina. He is trying to steal the spotlight from the two and become California’s next great Republican Senator. But for now, DeVore has to be concerned with Fiorina, who he will most likely face in the Republican primary next June. DeVore sat down with the SDNR editorial board....

    DeVore assails Schwarzenegger, Fiorina Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chuck DeVore said Monday night Republicans would repeat the mistake they made in supporting Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor if they back former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina for the Senate. In a speech to the Republican Party of San Diego County, DeVore, a three-term Assembly member from Irvine who cannot run for re-election because of term limits, denounced Schwarzenegger for signing a gun control bill and one establishing a day of recognition for slain gay-rights leader Harvey Milk.

(AP) -- The Republican race to challenge liberal stalwart Barbara Boxer for her U.S. Senate seat next year is shaping up as a likely contest between a socially conservative state lawmaker and a former Silicon Valley chief executive whose views are barely known to GOP voters in the state. Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive and John McCain confidante, is not yet an official candidate, but she has registered a campaign committee, "Carly for California," and her team had a strong presence at this weekend's statewide...

    Former eBay executive Meg Whitman, the 2010 gubernatorial candidate who has recently portrayed herself as a "darned good" conservative Republican, endorsed Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer in 2003, records show. "Whitman contributed $4,000 to Boxer in the 2004 reelection campaign -- and endorsed Boxer as a part of Technology Leaders for Boxer,'' confirmed Boxer aide Rose Kapolczynski today. And, she signed an "open letter" appealing for support from the California technology executives, touting Boxer as a "dynamic and courageous leader" on the tech front. Whitman's name was included in a "Friends of Boxer" release when the committee of a dozen...

    Why do reports show DeVore outspending Fiorina? Republican political logic says that Carly Fiorina is a better candidate than Chuck DeVore because she can spend more money on a campaign challenging incumbent Democratic U.S Senator Barbara Boxer. Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, is a multi-millionaire. DeVore, an Orange County Assemblyman, has a reputation as a weak fundraiser. So why is it that DeVore reported spending $5,000 within a week of announcing his candidacy while Fiorina, with her phalanx of consultants, says she hasn’t hit that mark in six weeks? At this point, Fiorina says she is only exploring a...

Al Gore says this about Chuck DeVore: “Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, is already campaigning hard across California. He voted against AB 32, the landmark global warming legislation…” Al Gore is right, Chuck DeVore voted against AB 32 – and debated against it – and fought tooth and nail against its implementation every step of the way.

Also, there are a few good Congressional members who put their country first, and I would hate to lose them. However, after experiencing the corruption by the last Republican Congress of the principles that got them elected - and now the unbelievable shenanigans of this current Democrat Congress, I have changed my mind. The selling of one’s vote for dollars is inexcusable, but it pales in...

    Former Hewlett-Packard Co. chief executive Carly Fiorina has taken the first formal step toward running for the U.S. Senate seat of Democrat Barbara Boxer.

The committee will allow her to begin raising money for a potential 2010 run for the Republican nomination. Spokeswoman Beth Miller says the 54-year-old Fiorina, who stumped for Sen. John McCain during his presidential run, will begin meeting with policy advisers and donors but has no timetable for making a formal announcement. If she runs, Fiorina would face...

Alford says he's innocent; he was framed by a bunch of racists in George Bush's Dept. of Homeland Security.

From the Politico A big chunk of the House climate change bill is in the hands of Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer — and some of its supporters are worried that she’s not up to the task. In private conversations, Senate staffers say that Boxer’s abrasive personal style helped tank the climate bill that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and former Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) sponsored last year. And several recent embarrassing episodes involving the California Democrat...

    We should mark July 16, 2009, as a day when white progressives — from an elitist lady senator to our mixed-race president — revealed their true racist colors. On that day, Senator (not “Ma’am”) Barbara Boxer chided Harry Alford of the National Black Chamber of Commerce during his testimony before the Senate Public Works Committee, and President (not descendant of slaves) Barack Obama, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the NAACP, lectured parents about making sure their children do their homework and bragged about his “administration.” While school children are taught that the Progressive Era from the 1890s...

    During Bill O’Reilly ’s interview last night of Harry Alford, President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), Alford made some insightful comments regarding Senator Barbara Boxer that served to expose the Left’s condescending attitude toward minorities. While professing to advocate on behalf of racial equality and tolerance for all minorities, in practice the true leftist agenda is much less inclusive. (Snip) Alford strenuously objected, calling Boxer out for being condescending and racial. As Mr. Alford told O’Reilly: “It was pure race — it was like down there in Mississippi back in the bad old days when one black...

    Barbara Boxer, the far left U.S. Senator from California, was given a stern face-to-face reprimand by the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Harry Alford, for trying to pit one black group against another instead of addressing issues on their merits. (Snip) In this case, instead of dealing substantively with Mr. Alford’s criticisms of the current Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade energy bill, Ms. Boxer tried to discredit Alford by pointing out how black groups such as the NAACP and “100 Black Men of Atlanta” were allegedly supporting the bill. (Snip) Mr. Alford scolded her for her divisive, racially charged tactics:...
  • Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Blasts Barbara Boxer for "Condescending" Racial Remarks-Video-MUST See

    Here is explosive video of the CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce in a fiery exchange with California Sen. Barbara Boxer. Black Chamber of Commerce, President and CEO Harry Alford accused Senator Boxer (D-CA) of playing race politics during an EPW Committee hearing on green jobs. He accused her of using "condescending" racial remarks because she tried to counter his testimony by using quotes from several "black" organizations and individuals such as the NAACP. Alford was upset because he wanted his testimony to stand on the merits of the evidence and not be countered by Boxer thinking his testimony...

    Harry Alford asked the ultimate American question, “What does this have to do with race?” Indeed, what does energy policy have to do with race? He also went on to say that energy policy has nothing to do with his own organization, the National Black Chamber of Commerce. After all, he was there representing businesses, not just black businesses. Bravo to Harry! (video of testimony is included in this post)

    Barbara Boxer behaved like the elitist, liberal ideologue she is and basically told the head of the Black Businessman's Association to stay in his place and follow behind the black "leaders" that she believes are legitimate. Harry C. Alford, CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, was asked to testify before Congress and voice his organization's opposition to the foolish cap and trade bill. Barbara Boxer became indignant like she would toward any minority who didn't accept the socialist nonsense advocated by groups like the NAACP. Speaking of the NAACP, a group that's never seen a Democratic or...

    UNDERSTAND THAT SENATORS AND CONGRESS"PEOPLE" HAVE TO BE KEPT REMINDED THAT THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE, AND SO "BABS" NEEDED REFRESHING. HER COLLEAGUES PROBABLY DON'T HELP MUCH! THANKS, DAVE! From a National Guard Aviator and Captain for Alaska Air Lines. Maybe we all should send a copy of this letter to the SENATOR. Babs: You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator." After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You...

    Last week a U.S. Senator treated the world to a shocking display of rudeness toward a member of our armed services. As Brigadier Gen. Michael Walsh testified before the Environment and Public Works Committee, Chairwoman Sen. Barbara Boxer arrogantly and ignorantly reprimanded an officer and a gentleman who has risked his life many times over for her "right" to become a U.S. senator in the first place. When he respectfully began a statement with "ma'am," she abruptly interrupted and gave the smarmy directive, "You know, do me a favor. Can you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am'? It's just a thing....

    Ok, this is really quite simple. Everyone by now has heard about Senator Barbara Boxer correcting a General by asking him to stop referring to her as "Ma'am" but rather as "Senator Boxer". So, in the spirit of this correction, we have decided to make a correction to her title as well. Rather, to her name. The person who creates the best name to follow "Senator..." will win an Americans for Limited Government grab bag.
