Chuck DeVore for Senate

CK MacLeod at Zombie Contentions and HotAir has called on Chuck DeVore to withdraw from the California Senate Republican primary to replace Barbara Boxer. His contention is that Carly Fiorina will lose to Tom Campbell otherwise. My response, so what? Explain to me exactly how Carly has so endeared herself to the Tea Party movement or is so much better than Campbell that I should care. Further, Carly seems willing to cast principle aside in the tactics she uses to try to push Chuck out of the race.

Right now, in the primaries, is the time to make our voices heard. Incumbents and wannabes of both parties need to start getting the message that THE TIME FOR BUSINESS AS USUAL IS OVER! Sorry to shout, but the nation is in a fiscal crisis without historic parallel. No previous record indebtedness of the nation was caused by such willful political malpractice of running up debt by increasing entitlements and spending on federal salaries and contracts. The crisis is primarily moral and political, so I am unwilling to compromise in the primary election season, when I am given a choice to vote for a true conservative who is dedicated to smaller government.

In Utah, Bob Bennett lost the GOP nomination. Rand Paul seems set to upset the Kentucky Republican establishment tomorrow. Turncoat, and former lefty Republican Arlen Specter may go down tomorrow as well. It's a peaceful revolution, but a revolution none the less. The future of our nation demands that we draw a line and say No More!

Now, if the worst should happen in June, and Tom Campbell is the nominee, I will in all likelihood still vote for him over Boxer. He might even win, although I doubt it, given the enthusiasm gap he will have. I will do so because Barbara Boxer has supported every lefty spending program that has ever come along, and Campbell occasionally shows restraint.

But for now, I am still pulling for Chuck DeVore, so mosey on over and make a donation. I did.

P.S. Sorry about the short hiatus from regular posts. I spent some quality time with my church group in the mountains this weekend. I also had some responsibilities getting it organized. We talked a bit about the role of men in the family and work. Pretty inspiring stuff.

P.P.S. Really sorry I missed the first Beer Summit, more reportage on that from BwD.
