Barbara Boxer In Big Trouble In California As Obama Stumps For Her

The fact that President Obama actually has to spend time in California campaigning for Senator Boxer proves how much trouble she and the Democrats are in. The 2010 midterm election could, I hope it is, an electoral bloodbath for this group of radicals running the Democratic Party. Obama's base is so radical that they actually heckle him over this issue of "Dont' Ask, Don't Tell". From the Los Angeles Times:

"After a long day of work in Washington and a long transcontinental flight to Los Angeles, President Obama told a crowd of Democratic donors in Los Angeles Monday night that he was "fired up!"

Turns out so were some of the crowd members.

The president's 29-minute speech was interrupted several times by gay protesters impatient with the lack of progress in repealing the military's "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" policy regarding gays.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have both often urged patience on gay-lesbian and transgender advocates, promising to repeal the policy in time. But tonight the protesters would have no more talk of patience, rejecting the president's repeated promise that he would repeal the policy and at one point breaking out into the trademark Obama chant of "Yes We Can!"

As The Ticket reported here earlier Monday, Obama flew across the country for no public events but just two fundraisers for the embattled liberal Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer seeking a four Senate term where tickets ranged up to sip wine and $17,600 to hear the president..."

Support Chuck DeVore in his bid to bounce Boxer out of the Senate.

Chuck DeVore Is No RINO; Long History Of Being A Conservative

In case there are doubts about Chuck DeVore's conservative credentials, the Sacramento Bee says he has a long conservative track record.

When DeVore was a child, his mother was a GOP activist who campaigned for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential campaign. She raised him to be patriotic, quipping, "I dressed him in red, white and blue probably too often when he was a little kid."

DeVore's tilt to the right was evident by his college days. President of the College Republican Club at California State University, Fullerton, DeVore remembers giving a speech at 19 about how the solidarity trade union movement in Poland was likely to spur the Soviet Union's downfall.

Assemblyman Anthony Adams, R-Hesperia, characterized DeVore as well-respected by colleagues, erudite, principled – but no backslapper.

"He's the kind of guy that you'd want to have a policy discussion with, but he's probably not the kind of guy that you're going to invite out for a beer," Adams said.

DeVore tends to be loved or hated: He got sky-high marks on legislative report cards of the California Chamber of Commerce, Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and California Republican Assembly, but he received flunking grades from Environment California and Equality California, representing gay and lesbian issues.

DeVore sees himself as somewhat of a "conservative with a bit of a libertarian tint."

"I didn't come up here to be everybody's pal and try to get along with folks at all costs," he said. "I came up here to try to live out a set of principles.
