Carly Fiorina hammers Hillary and Obama on equal pay for women
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/28/15 | Robert Laurie

Hillary Should Look At Her Own Office Before Preaching On Equal Pay For Women

A while back, we watched Rand Paul turn the standard media “gotcha” questions about abortion into a deft attack against the left. It was smart, tough, and something you’d hope to see more of. If you’ve been watching Carly Fiorina’s nascent campaign, you have. In fact, she’s turned the idea of making opponents into their own worst enemies into something of an art form.

If Hillary refuses to answer a question, Fiorina points that out in her own response. If Hillary dodges the press for one of her supporter-only “closed-door meetings,” Fiorina sets up out front and invites the press to grill her. It’s been a pleasure to watch and, yesterday, she used the strategy to turn a gotcha into a sharp attack against Obama and Clinton.

As you’re probably aware, the left is trying to make “equal pay for women” into a major 2016 issue. It seems several, always unnamed, Republicans want to make sure women don’t make as much money as their male counterparts. This, of course, is idiotic. ...But it’s the kind of identity politics that serves as the foundation of all Democrat campaigning and fundraising.

Again, you avoid the issue with evasion of a back door ad hominum.

You can’t even say she is not RNC GOPe.

Keep up the good work, Carly! You are doing the Lords Work! If you can knock Queen Hillary out of the race you will have done the nation a great service! You need to run for Governor of California—we need a woman with your spunk and savy.

“In fact, it wsa a valid question...”

You’ve descended in to ludicrousness of a rather laughable and surreal nature.

I am only pointing out that she is part of the team with a broader agenda which is to make sure a GOPe candidate gets nominated.

You've not shown her attacking Cruz although you say she will. You've not shown how she is part of a team precluding a conservative candidate. To be sure, she is not conservative and the GOPe does not want a conservative. Therefore, they will take her if bush and crispy go down and she is the last nonconservative man standing.

But as of now, the evidence is that she is merely another vanity candidate diluting the GOPe field and leaching support from Bush, maybe Walker, not from Cruz.

She is being promoted by the RNC media coordination.

She is mentioned, hyped, pushed or in Salem all the time.

Some of the toughest leaders on planet were Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir & Indira Gandhi. All were FEMALES as far as I know, because they actually delivered babies.

Can you post some evidence to substantiate your opinions?

The question was whether she was attacking Cruz. The answer seems to be no.

Guess you can't read:

I don’t see her as a hack. From what I’ve been hearing from her she sounds like a strong, very articulate conservative woman, exactly what the GOPer’s don’t want.

She is fully GOPe RNC, yes or no?

I already told you I didn't agree with that assessment of her at this point. I'll reiterate this one more time, we've a long way to go, things are going to change.

I have not denigrated her at all.

Liar, you have repeatedly called her a GOPe hack and operative, then lamely tried to defend you pejorative remark of her being a career politician after I called you out on it.

Guess you don't know the definition of the word denigrate either.

Bingo!! She and Cruz, and sometimes Rubio at least have the balls to attack the Rats, which can’t be said for any other on the right.

“Liar, you have repeatedly called her a GOPe hack and operative”

I don’t consider it denigration to point out she is GOP establishment. Perhaps the term hack was a bit denigrating.

Carly came across well also in a couple of interviews.

Hillary is no match for the honed speech delivery of Fiorina after years of practice in corporate boards and executive meetings where she had to prevail over tough male & female counterparts!

Cannot be! Hillary gets paid big $$$ per speech!

I really don’t have a problem with her. She let thousands go from HP when they were hemorrhaging money.

It’s not the first time that has happened for any company.

Boeing let 2/3rds of their workforce loose in 1971.

It’s called business.

Hillary is multi-talented...she turned $1000 into $100,000 in the cattle futures market in a short period.
