CA-Sen Video: Carly Fiorina Addresses the California Republican Party Convention
Thanks to Jon Fleischman for the video.
Here are excerpts of the speech.
U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina will today deliver the luncheon keynote speech at the California Republican Party Convention in San Diego. Her remarks will discuss her commitment to taking back control of Washington from career politicians like Barbara Boxer who have become increasingly out of touch with the real world and out of reach from the constituents they were elected to represent.
Below are excerpts of her remarks as prepared:
I’m glad to be here with you all at this Barbara Boxer farewell party. Together, we will defeat her and put an end to her extreme, partisan and costly reign over 28 long years in Washington.
…
People go to Washington and stay there way too long. The old saying that people go to Washington to do good and stay to do well is a statement that is both sad and true.
Think about this: Barbara Boxer has been in office for 34 years. That’s longer than most Californians have been alive – literally a lifetime.
For 34 years, at the taxpayers’ expense, she has been a bitter partisan who has said much but achieved little. She gets an “A” for politics and an “F” for achievement.
Let me ask you this: do you think the people of California really want to extend Barbara Boxer’s employment contract to 40 years?
…
In contrast, Barbara Boxer is a lifetime politician who comes from the world of government – a world where she spends other people’s money – where productivity is never measured and where profits are not a factor.
To be blunt, for four decades, she has earned her keep not by the sweat of her brow, but by the toil and struggle of hard-working Americans in the private sector. And her left-wing ideology allows her to avoid agonizing over tough decisions.
In kneejerk fashion, if it’s higher taxes, she supports them. If it’s bigger government, she votes yes. If it’s more regulation, no problem. If it’s a weakened military and isolationism, that’s her preference.
…
I will go to the Senate to fight for the millions of Californians who love their country, go about their business, pay their dues and serve their communities. They don’t look for frills or favors. They give a lot and expect little.
They know that the Washington team is losing and needs new players. They are asking for one simple thing: that we take our government back, make it listen and make it work.
Time to retire Senator Barbara Boxer.

I don’t think it much matters if you’re a Republican or Democrat, all politicians are out of touch with the real world. They really just want to be in power, they don’t want to get anything done.

The Republicans are so funny, when the economy is good you say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. When most Americans (with Latin America roots) go to the polls this November we will remember that the GOP has gone on a nationwide rant in proposing and passing several anti-immigration legislation and have continue to blame us for the flat economy or worse. We will remember who stands with us and who stands against us, so trying to stop it now is somewhat funny, but go ahead, you will not change our minds. Your hate made you do it, in November; you will reap what you have sown.

Benito, what have been smoking?
You do not believe illegal immigration from Mexico and Latin America is a problem?

F: The most outrageous racial profile law was AZ SB1070, the one that failed in our US Courts that the proponents claimed was Constitutional. Considering that all the numbers of crime are down (even ex-governor Janet Napolitano agrees).
So we have Brewer signing a bill (that she probably did not even read), lying about the crime rates in AZ, and now we find out that she is in the pockets of PRIVATE PRISONS who stand to benefit with the increase Federal jailing.
So quit lying, with your pathelic rhetoric, stand up and be men, no, no I am sorry your leaders are now just Birthers, Baggers and Blowhards and will contine to take the GOP towards obscurity because they are no longer a party of ideas, just of empty suits. Good bye, fawell….

In the last four months Jan Brewer has been caught lying, three times and counting.
The comments made on June 16, 2010, and June 27, 2010, clearly indicates that the Brewer says that immigrants are beheading people in the United States desert. She first ran away from the question and the press when confronted with the question. She finally when to FOX/ FAKE News to recant her lie.
When Brewer was confronted with the fact the two of her top Advisors (Paul Senseman, Chuck Coughlin) are lobbyist for “Private Prisons” giant CCA she first ran away from the question and the press.
In an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that her father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. Do you see a trend here?
Brewer signed into law SB 1070 Bill (Did she even read it?), lied about the crime rates in AZ (even Janet Napolitano knows that all crimes rates went down), and now we find out that she is in the pockets of PRIVATE PRISONS who stand to benefit with the increase Federal jailing, and thus they will pay her back, I wonder if it has to do anything about the fact that her son was transferred to a brand new prison, he was convicted for rape and sexual assault, I guess the fruit does not fall far the tree.
