Where has the Conservative Movement gone in California?

Looking at the California Senate Race, you really have to wonder if there are any true Conservatives left in our state. Yes, there are many organizations and activists that call themselves Conservatives. However, most will say that a Conservative cannot get elected in a statewide race because California is to liberal. In other words they are surrendering the state to moderates in the Republican Party and liberals in the Democrat Party.

If you go to the local level, you will no longer find, in most areas of the state, any grassroots activism as will. Precinct walking has become obsolete in most areas of California because the candidates have been brain washed to believe that the only way to win an election, is by raising a lot of money for direct mail brochures and signs. While I mention signs, I do not mean the ones that are put up in yards, but the ones that are put up by a paid company.

So why is this? Look at the US Senate race in California. The Republican Kingmakers in California and Washington DC have recruited Carly Fiorina as there candidate against Tom Cambell and Conservative Chuck DeVore. For the most part, Carly Fiorina has done a good job of coming across as a Conservative. The question is where are her Conservative Creditionals? The only political thing, I have heard about her being involved with in the past was John McCain’s Presidential campaign in 2008. Frankly, that is not saying much. Secondly she has contradicted herself on different positions she has taken. For example in a recent article a CNN reporter ask her questions about the immigration law in Arizona. He said “Fiorina had to be asked repeatedly whether she supported or opposed the measure.” The Article concluded with “Her questioner finally gave up and changed the subject to offshore oil drilling.” She has also received the endorsement of the New Majority. The New Majority is made up of a membership of moderate and liberal Republicans who claim to represent an “inclusive, mainstream approach toward politics”. There speakers at events they have had, included Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Arnold Schwarzengger, Pete Wilson and Michael Bloomberg. So where does she really stand? Based on what she says and who she spoke to last, it will be very hard to figure out..

Finally, as someone who has been involved in the Conservative Movement since the age of 17, I will support Chuck DeVore, who has a 100% Conservative Voting Record and has the support of the Conservative California Republican Assembly, which has been called the Conscience of the Republican Party. Hopefully Conservatives will not be fooled again as they have been in the past and will realize that if the Conservative Cause is to prevail again in our State, we must start by supporting candidates like Chuck DeVore.
