This week we had Sarah Palin endorse Carly Fiorina for Republican nomination to run against Barbara Boxer for the Senate seat. What a shock. Why such a shock. Everyone in the California tea party movement knows the conservative of choice is Chuck Devore. Wow, how could Sarah Palin make such a choice. My only thought is that Sarah Palin feels she need to be standing behind a powerful winner, for once. If you look at her actions for the past few months, she has been backing candidates I find questionable, causing me to second guess my feelings for her as any future candidate. We all know that the tea party is composed of citizens who are just so tired of government intrusion in their lives. They are tired of too much in the way of taxes, and too much in the way of control. They are tired of the rule of law not being followed, and the illegal immigration is coming to a head. I had always thought that Sarah Palin stood for those things as well. Was I wrong? I think I may have been.
Now, as far as my endorcement, I do not go with who is most popular, and I am beyond doing what I use to do, which was lean toward the person with the most airtime. Okay-okay, I will admit, that in the past, I seldom took the time necessary to research candidates, and often made poor choices. Never again will I do that, as our country deserves my best efforts. With the trouble that our country is in, I need to go beyond that, and look at the person. In doing so, I really do not care if Chuck Devore is the underdog. I do not care if everyone says he doesn’t have a chance to win. I have to stand with my convictions and choose the best person for the job. I look at his track record for the State of California. I take pride in having followed him for the past year, and watching how he has handled himself through the hard voting of the California budget crisis. I was so glad that the people of California had him on their side. He worked so hard in trying to get California on the right track, despite the liberal California government making statements that went something like “well we have the money, we just have to tax more!” Devore was fighting statement like that from CA government, and looking for the hard, yes hard, but necessary things we need to do to get our state back on its feet. With all the illegal immigration issues draining on California, and all the environmental issues adding to this drain, among many other issues that are just dragging the once wonderful state of California to its knees, Chuck has been there fighting hard for us.
Seeing everything that has happened to California and to this great country of ours for the past few years tells me two things, one – that California may not get out of this difficult situation at all, and two – that if Chuck Devore was voted into the U.S. Senate, that he has the strength and integrity to do the right thing for us American’s who are deeply concerned with the Government over-control, and over taxation. I have watched his strength, and integrity, his conviction, his constitutional principles and his leadership, and I am confident that he will do the right thing. He states that Carly Fiorina just doesn’t have the track record, and I totally agree. To me, she is an unknown with lots of money. I just don’t know if America should be gambling on Carly Fiorina when Chuck has really shown us he can MORE than do the job. I stand behind him in hopes that the rest of California comes to its senses, and votes him into a position where he can be a part of our getting our country moving back in the direction it needs to, to become strong, free and great again. America needs stong conservatives. America need Chuck Devore.
