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's Irvine Tea Party Speech Proves He Ready To Defeat Senator Boxer

Chuck DeVore gave a powerful speech and was the highlight of the rally for me. He is the lone Republican principled enough to keep Conservative voters motivated enough to turn out and rid this state of Barbara, "Call me Senator" Boxer.

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.

Chuck DeVore Blasts The Passage Of ObamaCare On Cavuto

Breaking: Chuck DeVore To Defeat Senator Boxer In California; Obama To Campaign For Boxer

This should tickle the hearts of Republicans everywhere. President Obama is planning to campaign for Senator Boxer here in California. From Politico:

"President Obama will travel to California to stump for Sen. Barbara Boxer in April, her campaign announced on Wednesday.

Obama will attend a joint fundraiser in Los Angeles for Boxer's re-election campaign and the DNC. Details are still being arranged.

Polls show the California Democrat with a single-digit lead over each of her three potential Republican challengers, State Sen. Chuck DeVore, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina and former Rep. Tom Campbell"

Based on Obama's losing track record maybe we can count on California having one Republican Senator after the 2010 election.

LA Times Realizes Tom Campbell Is In Trouble Over Muslim Connection

In a previous post Left Coast Rebel brought our attention to Tom Campbell's connection to a Muslim radical. Now the Los Angeles Times has picked up on this issue:

"Terrorism and the Middle East are continuing to roil the Republican Senate contest after a letter written by former congressman Tom Campbell emerged that appeared to contradict statements Campbell and his aides had made about his dealings with a radical Muslim professor.

The professor, Sami Al-Arian, contributed to Campbell's unsuccessful campaign in 2000 for the U.S. Senate. On Sept. 26, 2001, when he was teaching at the University of South Florida, Al-Arian gave an interview to Fox TV host Bill O'Reilly in which he conceded that he had said, "Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution. Revolution until victory. Rolling to Jerusalem."

Those statements quickly generated a furor and the university moved to discipline Al-Arian. Campbell, by then a law professor at Stanford University, wrote a letter to Judy Genshaft, the president of the University of South Florida, protesting any punishment.

Campbell had previously conceded that he wrote a letter on Al-Arian's behalf, but had said during a candidates' debate Friday that he did so before Al-Arian's interview with O'Reilly. His campaign's website also said the letter was written before the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001..."

Chuck DeVore understands the threat of Muslims radicals. Devore has taken the wise step in calling for UC Irvine to stop recognizing a radical Muslim group on campus.

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

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:
