Judge a Man by the Company that he Keeps: Tom Campbell and Jihadist Sympathizer Sami Al-Arian

by the Left Coast Rebel

A simple idiom - that a man may be judged by the company that he keeps. For a politician it may be that a man is judged by the contributions that he keeps. In the case of Tom Campbell, former California congressman and GOP nod hopeful for the Senate nod, it is a case of special donations from a jihadist sympathizing former college professor Sami Al-Arian. And yes, Tom Campbell may by judged by that contribution (and company) that he kept. Tom Campbell claims that he made a mistake with accepting a jihadist sympathizer's donation but claims that it was all for a noble cause - bettering American relations with the Muslim world. Afer that, he then claimed to a different source that he didn't even receive a donation from Sami Al-Arian. Which one is it, Mr. Campbell?

Can you see through the lies? Does not this story speak volumes to the character, intent and discretion of Tom Campbell? To the proper discernment needed in today's brave new world? This story speaks volumes for the need a true conservative candidate with the moral fiber and common sense to do the right thing - even when no one is watching.

Please take a look at Chuck DeVore for the United States Senate. A man of principle. A man that knows his Constitution. A man much needed at this time in America and for the people of California.

Chuck DeVore's CPAC Speech; Help California Retire Barbara Boxer

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Boxer Has Got To Go; She Supports Reconciliation On ObamaCare

Senator Barbara Boxer has given us here in California another reason to give her the boot in 2010. She has signed on to support ramming ObamaCare through the Senate via reconciliation.
"The signers to Michael Bennet’s letter to pass the public option through reconciliation have continued to roll in. Before I get to that, I want to respond to a couple comments in the last thread on this about why I’m monitoring this action.

There are two questions being asked – one about whether Senators would be willing to use reconciliation to pass the health care bill, and one about whether they would sign on to the Bennet letter. These questions should be viewed separately. The reconciliation question essentially asks whether these Senators want to pass health care at all, because a reconciliation sidecar is really the only way to get the bill done. The public option question gauges what kind of support there is within reconciliation for something beyond the set of compromises that were determined before Scott Brown won in Massachusetts.

First off, if you’re following the health care debate, this is one of the two remaining hurdles to get to a bill. The other is abortion funding and the Stupak amendment, which could prove an eventual brick wall, as I’ve been saying for weeks and weeks. But it’s worthwhile to know if reconciliation has majority support in the Senate, in addition to the public option. Whether these events actually occur or not, knowing a clear whip count demystifies the process. It puts legislators on the record. It forces accountability. And that’s never a bad thing. Harry Reid cannot say “we don’t have the votes” if you can wave a piece of paper in front of his face and announce “yes you do.”

So where are we at with this project? Last night, Dianne Feinstein signed on to the Bennet letter. along with Jack Reed. Amy Klobuchar and Ben Cardin endorsed using the reconciliation, but were more noncommital on the public option. I can confirm this morning that Tom Udall of New Mexico, who yesterday agreed to reconciliation as a means to finish the bill, is now a yes on the Bennet letter. And Barbara Boxer signed on as well..."
Time to send Boxer home packing and elect Chuck DeVore to replace her.

DeVore Within Striking Distance Of Boxer; UPDATE: Obama Is Toxic To California Democrats

Senator Boxer is vulnerable in 2010 and Chuck DeVore needs to be her opponent to motivate Conservatives. The latest Rasmussen poll has DeVore within five points of Boxer.
"Boxer leads still state Assemblyman Chuck Devore, 47% to 42%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate in that match-up, and five percent (5%) are undecided. In January, Boxer held a 46% to 40% advantage over Devore. In November, she led Devore by 10 points.
The fact that Boxer’s support has been stuck in the mid-40s for several surveys no matter which Republican she is matched against continues to suggest that the race for now is about her rather than about those who are running against her."
DeVore is the right candidate to ride the wave of outrage against Democratic Party spending and power grabbing.



UPDATE:

It must be getting bad when even Liberal Democrats in California are distancing themselves from President Obama. From the Los Angeles Times:
"Reporting from Washington - As President Obama's approval ratings sag and the mood of voters sours, some Democratic congressional candidates are distancing themselves from the White House, with the back-channel blessing of party officials.

The candidates are positioning themselves as independent voices no less frustrated with the Obama administration than people back home.."
Do not be fooled by this or think that the Democrats here in California do not support Obama's agenda. This is purely to try and save their political careers.

The Daily Kos Mocks Carly Fiorina

I think things are getting bad for Carly Fiorina because the Daily Kos is ripping her statements apart.
"Failed CEO Carly Fiorina is the gift that keeps on giving. The gift is a steady dose of epic fail.

Fresh off of Demon Sheep--a political advertising fail that spawned hordes of parodies and even became a trending topic on Twitter--Carly has now demonstrated that her ignorance of online media is matched only by her ignorance of federal law.

California is in very difficult fiscal straits right now, but one thing that's off the table is declaring bankruptcy. Why? Quite simply, because federal law prevents states from declaring bankruptcy. Apparently, this was news to the person who aspires to be a Senator from the State..."
Maybe if Fiorina bothered to vote on a regular basis then she would be more aware of the facts.

Chuck DeVore on Glenn Beck

by the Left Coast Rebel

Readers - This is my introductory post here at California Bloggers for DeVore, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to do so. I blog on (mostly) national politics and hail from San Diego, visit the Left Coast Rebel to see my daily take on things.

Go Chuck DeVore! Go Chuck Devore! Go Chuck DeVore! The time is right for the state of California to shed it's nanny state, nanny-ninnies and Chuck DeVore is just the man to unseat Barbara Boxer. Chuck DeVore knows the issues, has a great voice for limited government clarity and is the Tea Party favorite. If you are not familiar with Chuck DeVore, Glenn Beck gives us a good introduction today, Monday, February 8 2010. A highlight fron the show: Glenn Beck to Chuck DeVore: "You Intrigue Me Because I am Looking for People that Understand the Constitution."

George Will Says Chuck DeVore Is Going To Be The GOP Nominee

George Will on ABC's This Week predicted that Chuck DeVore will be the the Republican to run against Senator Boxer. He thinks this will be the case because DeVore is lone Conservative running on the GOP side.



I hope Senator Boxer suffers the same fate as Martha Coakley.

Chuck DeVore Is A Blue Collar Republican That Can Defeat Senator Boxer

In a piece by the Los Angeles Times, California voters should come away with two things. First, Chuck DeVore is the lone Conservative and second, DeVore is a blue collar Republican.
"But serious questions remain about whether DeVore, 45, can survive the GOP primary. He has the fiscal and social credentials desired by the conservative party voters most likely to turn out in June. But, despite campaigning for more than a year, his candidacy is something of an apparition. Outside of party circles and his home base of Orange County voters generally have no idea who he is, and he ended 2009 with a net $140,000 in the bank.

In a state as big as California, recognition does not come cheap. Primary opponent Carly Fiorina, a multimillionaire, has already lent her campaign $2.5 million, while former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell, who jumped into the race last month, is much better known to voters because he has been in the public eye for two decades.

DeVore is counting on hard work and persistence to make up for money and name identification. Since announcing his candidacy in November 2008 he has logged more than 50,000 miles by car and air to meet with nearly 40,000 Republican voters at 239 stops up and down the state. (The candidate, an admitted wonk, logs every visit, mile and voter on a spreadsheet when he gets home to Irvine).

"Whatever the polls say four months before the primary, the strength of the volunteers backing us, the lack of any skeletal remains in my closet are going to allow me to prevail in this primary and to ultimately vanquish Barbara Boxer," DeVore said at the January meeting of the West Valley Republican Women Federated at a diner in San Jose.

He tells voters that politicians in both parties have forgotten their duty, which he believes should be limited to securing citizens' rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness -- "not making up new rights."

"They make it up as they go along because they don't have a core philosophy that guides their decisions," DeVore said. "I have a core. It's the Constitution, it's the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. I don't vary from that..."
DeVore is even willing to get his hands dirty to get jobs done around his home. DeVore constantly updates his facebook page and we often learn that he is fixing things. One such example is DeVore having to deal with a dying washing machine.



Can you imagine Senator Boxer doing this? She would be too concerned that the washing machine delivery people call her "Senator". Time to retire "Senator Boxer".

Carly Fiorina Goes After Tom Campbell; Knows Not To Mess With Chuck DeVore

Carly Fiorina must think that Congressman Campbell is the weaker and more vulnerable opponent she faces as she goes after him in this sheepish ad.



This ad has already brought a response from Adolf Hitler:

Chuck DeVore Can "Scott Brown" Senator Barbara Boxer

The election of Scott Brown is a political earthquake that has created an existential crisis among the Democratic Party and the Liberals that control it. The Democrats should rightly be in a state of panic right now.
"The Republican victory in Massachusetts has sent a wave of fear through the halls of the Senate, with moderate and liberal Democrats second-guessing their party’s agenda — and worrying that they’ll be the next victims of voters’ anger.

“If there’s anybody in this building that doesn’t tell you they’re more worried about elections today, you absolutely should slap them,” said Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).

Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter discontent to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in the race for Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat. Republicans moved quickly to capitalize Wednesday, with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (R-Texas) telling POLITICO that he’s approaching possible candidates who passed up his initial entreaties to join the 2010 field.

“People, I think, are going to sense opportunities that they didn’t sense” Tuesday, Cornyn said.

Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called the Massachusetts race a “wake-up call” for his party and said his colleagues were in a “reflective” mood at a private lunch Wednesday.

Several Democratic incumbents said later that none of the 19 Democratic seats up this year are safe — and that fundamental parts of the agenda need to be re-examined to win over voters back home.

“Every state is now in play,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who faces the toughest reelection battle of her career — most likely against wealthy Republican Carly Fiorina..."
I am supporting Chuck DeVore in his bid to unseat Senator Boxer and it has nothing to do with the fact that Boxer is a woman. It is Boxer's Liberalism and arrogance that I cannot stand.

Here are some video highlights of Senator Boxer:

She injects race into the discussion:



Comparing pregnancy to a sexual dysfunction:



Being more concerned about hacked global warming emails than what they expose:



Lies about how many jobs have been created by supporting President Obama's policies:



Enough already my fellow Californians, let us get rid of this intellectually infantile Senator once and for all by replacing her with Chuck DeVore.
