The National Rifle Assn. is urging its California members to vote against Republican Senate candidate Tom Campbell "to protect your gun rights and hunting heritage in California."
The bright orange postcard, which went out over the weekend, faults Campbell for favoring gun show regulations, a waiting period for handgun purchases and restrictions on the sale of semiautomatic assault weapons.
+++++++
Another reason Tom Campbell is Barbara Boxer Light -
Here are the 15 candidates endorsed by Palin over the social networking website:
* Susana Martinez for governor of New Mexico, May 16
* Nikki Haley for governor of South Carolina, May 14
* Carly Fiorina for Senate in California, May 6
* Tom Emmer for governor of Minnesota, April 29
* Tim Burns for Congress in Pennsylvania, April 26
* Vaughn Ward for Congress in Idaho, March 29
* Adam Kinzinger for congress in Illinois, March 29
* Allen West for Congress in Florida, March 29
* Sean Duffy for Congress in Wisconsin, Feb. 17
* Rick Perry for governor of Texas, Jan. 20
* Michele Bachmann for Congress in Minnesota, Jan. 20
* John McCain for Senate in Arizona, Jan. 20
* Chris Christie for governor of New Jersey, Oct. 27
* Bob McDonnell for governor of Virginia, Oct. 27
* Doug Hoffman for Congress in New York, Oct. 22 -
Three days later, Palin was out stumping for Rep Michele Bachmann proclaiming: “Someone better tell Washington that that pink elephant is on the move…†The footage of the rally was beautifully reminiscent of Hillary’s rallies in 2008 – a female candidate with a wall of women behind her.
And Palin just picked up steam from there. While the leadership of the Republican Party fumbled around over Arizona’s new immigration law, Palin has stood, unwaveringly, by and with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
Shortly thereafter, Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina in her bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate – this despite a backlash from supporters over not choosing the Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore. The Fiorina endorsement took courage and loyalty – both of which are lacking in our current day political paradigm.
+++++++
Read it all -
This is a painful post to write.
It is painful because I have been, and still consider myself, a supporter of California Republican senate candidate Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.
But, there is a time to support and believe my candidate can really win and for reality to set in.
The reality is that unless Mr. DeVore can raise himself to at least be tied with fellow Republican candidate Carly Fiorina in polling, it is time for Mr. DeVore to consider the unthinkable.
To drop out of the race and endorse Carly Fiorina.
There are three words that make this a potential necessity.
Terrible Tom Campbell.
++++++++
Up to Chuck DeVore but if he allows Campbell to win then the blood will be on his hands -
Carly Fiorina tells The Brody File that Tom Campbell, her main Republican challenger for the Senate in California, should be called, "Barbara Boxer light." Fiorina stopped by The Brody File. Watch her answer below and read the transcription beow.
++++++++
Indeed Tom Campbell is a RINO.

CA-Sen: Tom Campbell is “Barbara Boxer Light”
US Senate candidate Carly Fiorina talking with David Brody, Christian broadcast NewsThis is what Carly Fiorina has called her opponent Tom Campbell and she is correct. Here is the transcript:
Carly Fiorina: “Tom Campbell’s wrong on the issues. He’s wrong first and foremost on the issues of taxes. He is the architect of California’s 2005 budget which created structural deficits for the state for many years to come in good times and in bad. He believes the way to close the California budget is to increase the gasoline tax by 32 cents a gallon. He has voted against tax cuts as a member of Congress. He has votes for sales tax increases, Internet taxes, gasoline taxes going back as far as the late 80’s. This is a guy who is wrong on taxes, he’s wrong on the growth of government and those issues matter tremendously not just to Republican primary voters but to the voters of California.
Carly Fiorina: “I am a fiscal conservative and he is not. Certainly I am a pro-life candidate. He is a pro-choice candidate. In fact if you look at some of his positions, I would characterize him as Barbara Boxer light only he wouldn’t have the seniority and he wouldn’t have the power.”
Carly should have just called Tom Campbell a RINO (Republican in Name Only) and be done with it. There will be little difference between Boxer and Campbell if he is nominated to face off with Babs in November.

Day By Day May 18, 2010 – Capitalists….Not
Socialism has always been a failed economic system because it ignores innate human behavior – nobody wants to be satisfied with just being equal. Hence, the organizing tactics of Saul Alinsky to FOOL people into believing and adopting.President Obama and the far left Democrats in Congress do not believe in captialism. They FEEL it is a corrupt system.
You know what they say about people that live in glass houses?

- @flicka47 Ok, so you will NOT vote for the GOP nominee against Barbara Boxer – Wow! Talk about voting for the same ol' #casen #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- Chuck DeVore is NOT polling better than Carly Fiorina or Tom Campbell: http://bit.ly/cG6tWu #tcot #casen #catcot #
- @flicka47 My vote for Carly Fiorina will be for a GOP nominee that will beat Sen. Barbara Boxer. #tcot #casen in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 But, you already stated that if Carly Fiorina is the nominee that you would vote for her vs. Boxer. Isn't that right? #tcot #casen in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 That is simply not true and with you saying it over and over does not make it so. Do some reading, please. #casen #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 I have been writing posts at flapsblog.com for months but some of you will never agree. Sarah Palin does. So, throw your vote away in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 No, the @ChuckDeVore voters are enabling a RINO Tom Campbell to perhaps be the GOP nominee. DeVore should quit #casen #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 We have discussed this already earlier this afternoon. I do not accept your premise that Carly Fiorina is not a conservative. in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 By the way, her name is spelled Carly not Carley. in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Your opinion but not mine. Your vote for Chuck DeVore may nominate a RINO Tom Campbell. in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 But, in all of the primary polls DeVore polls behind Campbell & Fiorina. He will NOT be the nominee. Fiorina IS a conservative in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Actually that is not true. Read this: http://bit.ly/cG6tWu DeVore, Fiorina and Campbell all poll well against Boxer within MOE in reply to flicka47 #

- @commonsenseshow Chuck DeVore will not win the primary but a vote for him might result in Tom Campbell, a RINO, winning #tcot in reply to commonsenseshow #
- @commonsenseshow Agreed that DeVore is the most conservative in the race but Fiorina is conservative enough and better than Campbell in reply to commonsenseshow #
- @flicka47 Carly Fiorina polls very well against Sen. Boxer as do the others #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @commonsenseshow But, being endorsed by one of the top conservatives in America DOES carry weight – the association follows. in reply to commonsenseshow #

- @flicka47 Sorry, I didn't see your answer. Will you vote for Fiorina when she wins the GOP nomination – Yes or No? #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Carly Fiorina is a conservative and has been endorsed by USA top conservative Sarah Palin and conservative Senators. #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Of course, if chuck DeVore wins the GOP nomination, I will vote for him in the general. Now, you answer please #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @mrdime Look for it at flapsblog.com. There is a search feature in reply to mrdime #
- @flicka47 Tell me, when Carly Fiorina wins the nomination will you support her over Sen. Boxer? #tcot in reply to flicka47 #

- @flicka47 I guess we will have to agree to disagree. But, your vote for DeVore is really a vote for a RINO in Tom Campbell. Good luck #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 I suggest you do some reading and not from DeVore on Fiorina's background. Then contrast with Campbell #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 They are BOTH conservatives. Tom Campbell is NOT and a vote for DeVore is a vote for a RINO Campbell #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Oh and so I am not a true conservative by backing Carly Fiorina? Ridiculous, don't you think? #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
- @flicka47 Well, you are entitled to your opinion but I have no problems with Carly. She is endorsed by Palin, Coburn, Kyl and Inhofe #tcot in reply to flicka47 #
