"I don’t support Carly (what she did with/to HP) "

"Did you hear her explanation of why that was necessary?

While she's performing a service of value going after Hillary, Carly is still all-talk.

Let's not forget what she did to tank HP, including tossing out a great many engineers, only to sail away under a multi-million dollar golden parachute she got for herself.

"With Fiorina as chairman and CEO, Hewlett-Packard's value declined significantly and the technology giant endured massive layoffs. Fiorina led a largely unsuccessful merger with Compaq in 2002, going against the wishes of company founder Walter Hewlett.

Asked by the board of directors to step down in 2005, Fiorina left with $21 million in cash, plus stock and pension benefits worth another $19 million. According to HP executive compensation rules, departing executives are entitled to no more than 2.99 times their base salary; anything more requires stockholder approval. Fiorina's parachute was more than that, so the stockholders filed a class action suit (a federal judge dismissed it in April 2008).

Fiorina is now a Fox Business Network contributor and a top economic advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain." (from article of 2008) http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1848501_1848500_1848417,00.html

I am not saying I support Carly but we as conservatives have to stop eating our own. She had a perfectly good explanation of why the layoffs were necessary during that time while other tech companies were going out of business. Lets concentrate on the real enemy, the leftist, Marxist, communist, godless people that want to destroy this country. I.e. the democrats!!

I have to assume you are one of those who she laid off since you are on every single thread that has the name Carly on it even if it is not the HP Carly. Anyone obsessed like you by Carly where you feel the need to repeat yourself over and over and over and over has some personal issues to overcome. You don’t have an opinion, you have an agenda for you or for someone else. I discount all your comments.
