Carly: a Flawed Candidate; Fiorina a conservative? The record shows different.
American Thinker ^ | 08/09/2015 | NewsMachete

Posted on 08/10/2015 7:32:56 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I've never been comfortable with Carly Fiorina because she ran as a no-issues moderate for the 2010 senate race in California, and she hasn't articulated any conservative principles before 2015.

But she has spoken up in other ways – just not very conservative-like:

Immediately after 9/11, Carly gave a speech where, in light of the 3,000 Americans who had just been slaughtered, her first concern was for... Muslims.

And as a business leader, I experienced a whole other set of emotions - first and foremost concern for the safety of our employees and their families. Concern for the security of our employees who are of Middle Eastern descent or who practice the Muslim religion here in the US and abroad. Concern for employees who are traveling, and how to get them home to their families as fast as possible. And then a concern for the safety of customers and partners located in the World Trade Center complex, in the Pentagon, and in the airline industry.

"...and then concern for World Trade Center victims."  Well, I'm glad the victims fit into her list of priorities, somewhere.  But in case you are thinking this is simply a paragraph written out of order, there's more:

There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.

It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.

And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption.

And for those who don't know or don;t remember...

Then in 2013, when Ted Cruz was counseling defunding Obamacare in the next budget, and Boehner wanted capitulation, Carly sided with...John Boehner.

Everybody could see this train wreck coming. I actually feel badly for John Boehner. I think this is Ted Cruz and President Obama’s shutdown. I think Ted Cruz’s tactics were wrong.

There’s no honor in charging a hill that you know you can’t take, only casualties, although Ted Cruz maybe got name recognition and money along the way. But President Obama wanted this shutdown. And Ted Cruz played right into his hands.

She's a salesperson.

She almost sold me, but really showed her arse these past few days.

Carly Fiorina: Islamic Civilization was “Greatest in the World”

Carly Fiorina Attacks Cruz: ‘No Honor’ In Fight To Defund Obamacare
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3322644/posts

Carly Fiorina is open to legal status for adult illegal immigrants, citizenship for their kids
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3322641/posts

To sum it up:

She loves eternally murderous deathcult known as Islam,

she loves Obamacare (aka Rationed, Collectivized Deathcare),

and she loves illegal aliens invading our country.

Now I know for sure she’s a Dem (aka GOP-E, RINO).

Anyone who praises the oxymoron of “Islamic civilization” and criticizes defunding Obamacare is a [Reject].

The Establishment is running out of viable candidates to stop Trump or Cruz. Fiorina is their current attempt. Hence all the focus on poor oppressed women

I would expect a businessperson to be conservative (though I might hope).

The only reason to vote for a businessperson is that the budget and the economy are so frickin' bad that they might have an edge (and real-world experience) at making hard choices trying to get the house in order.

If that's your number one issue, then that's great. If the more conservative issues are paramount, then you probably want to look further on.

Perhaps Fiorina’s progressive bent is why she ran HP into the ground as CEO.

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she was "relieved" to see six Baltimore police officers charged over the death of Freddie Gray.

"I think we were all relieved to see the six policemen charged in Baltimore," Fiorina, a former Hewlett Packard CEO, told reporters on a conference call shortly after announcing her presidential bid.

I will never vote for her

There’s something about her that I don’t like or trust.
Can’t put my finger on it yet but not too impressed.
I did like that she came out & straight out called Billary a liar.

I like Carly Fiorina she’s just not real conservative. But she sure knows how to trash Shrillary. :-)

This is one of those cases where the following statement applies:

To: skeeter; All

and how is she any different from Trump??

Fiorina doesn’t have a chance at the nomination but it is rather hysterical watching people get hysterical over her past politics ever since she called out Trump’s comments...

Trump- someone who, not to long ago, was pushing agenda’s far more liberal than Fiorina...

Watch Faux News...I bet they will continue to position Fiorina as the anti-Trump. I was sickened watching the network the last 3 days as they bashed Trump, ignored Cruz, and elevated Fiorina/Bush/Christie/and other GOPe candidates...

She’s not conservative and she is INCOMPETENT.

She is a good talker though. That’s how she rose up in business—talking a good game.

One problem—INCOMPETENCE.

She should be embarrassed by her business record. But, apparently, she has no shame.

Failed CEO Of Hewlett-Packard

As CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina laid off 18,000 workers. When reflecting on her tenure, she admitted she wished she had “done them all faster.”

Fiorina: “There Is No Job That Is America’s God-Given Right Anymore.” The San Francisco Chronicle reported, “Fiorina’s statement that ‘there is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore’ triggered particularly strong reaction. The pair spoke in Washington representing the Computer Systems Policy Project, a group of eight chief executives from the nation’s top information technology firms.” [San Francisco Chronicle, 1/9/04]

claim victory?” [Fortune, 2/7/05]

McCain 2008 Presidential Campaign

Fiorina Tapped To Head The RNC Victory Fund & Advise McCain On The Economy

Fiorina Removed As Public Face Of McCain Campaign For Making Numerous Mistakes

September: Fiorina Said McCain Wasn’t Qualified To Run A Major Corporation. According to CNN, Fiorina said, “Well, I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation...It’s a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So, of course, to run a business, you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but that’s not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack Obama are doing.” [CNN, 9/16/08]
• July: Fiorina Put McCain In Touchy Situation With Comments About Coverage For Viagra And Birth Control. During an exchange on the Straight Talk Express, a reporter brought up a comment made by McCain adviser Carly Fiorina. McCain was unable to express an opinion on whether or not it is fair that some insurance companies pay for Viagra but not birth control

This is just a snip it of things this woman has done...she isn’t conservative, she belongs to the side of shillary, in fact, I don’t know why they are ‘best buds’....
