"To pump up profits, she was an early adopter of the practice, which given HP's status as a leading Silicon Valley firm, pushed other firms to adopt offshoring," said Hira. "It set a precedent that technology firms would now pursue profits through offshoring and that meant that Wall Street would hound executives in other firms to do the same."
Along with her fraudulent accounting practices at HP, Fiorina was a leader outsourcing U.S. jobs. Cruz was a big supporter of H-1B visas.
They have now changed their positions.
Fiorina is a H-1B whore.
ted really pood the screwch this time. What a moron he turned out to be.
Gee Imagine that... and this joker is a conservative???
What an “outsider”!!!! /s
Isn’t there a vaccination for H-1B?
Oh wait that’s for flu or hepatitis B-never mind.
Pander away Ted - we see you.....
Fiorina supports the Dream Act
Cruz is a typical, unprincipled politician. People who support him should be emarassed.

Clinton offered a mix of private-sector commitments and government programs Monday. His proposed budget includes about $3 billion in funding to hook up every school and library in the country to the Internet and pay for computers, software and teacher training in poor areas. This includes $100 million for centers like Plugged In. In addition, Clinton said he will seek $2 billion in new tax incentives for companies that donate or contribute computer-related equipment to schools.
(snip)
Seated alongside Clinton during his morning appearance at Plugged In — broadcast live on the Web via America Online — were the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina and Robert Knowling, CEO of Covad Communications, a Santa Clara-based digital subscriber line company.
(snip)
Meanwhile, Fiorina, whose company has funded Plugged In almost since its inception in 1992, said the center will move from its temporary location soon. HP will pay for a new building ‘’as a part of our $5 million grant’’ to East Palo Alto. ‘’We will fund the building,’’ she said. ‘’The details are to be worked out.’’

CARLY FIORINA: Of personality. Because I don’t think we have enough practice at it. Whereas, when people focus on a male leader, they tend to get off style pretty fast and focus on the substance.
I had a — I shared a podium with Bill Clinton several months ago, and he said, you know, when I would talk at some length about an issue like health care, people would call me erudite or well informed. And when Hillary talks a long time about an issue, she’s described as lecturing. And I think it was an interesting illustration, that sometimes the adjectives are very different for the same thing.

Hillary’s Brother, Other Dems Meet With McCain Campaign
Accuracy in Media - August 20, 2008
What’s this? Hillary Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham along with other Democrats met with McCain adviser Carly Fiorina this week.
From the Scranton Times-Tribune.
A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton’s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain’s Citizens for McCain Coalition.
The attendees included Tony Rodham, Mrs. Clinton’s youngest sibling, his wife, Megan, and their two children; attorney Kathleen Granahan Kane, who coordinated Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign in Northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election; and Virginia McGregor, sister of Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.

CEO at the GOP
Primetime Politics ^ | March 8, 2008 | Robert Novak
Conservatives and party regulars were not happy about the selection of Carly Fiorina to head the Republican National Committee’s “Victory 2008” campaign raising funds for the presidential election. She was one of the nation’s most visible CEOs before she was fired by Hewlett-Packard in 2005 for not generating enough profits.
Federal Election Commission records show Fiorina contributed nothing to the Republican Party the last eight years. Her only political giving was to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign—$2,100 in 2006 and $2,300 in 2007. Fiorina was at McCain’s side when he campaigned in the critical Michigan and Florida races.
Fiorina has no standing in the conservative movement and has taken no position on the abortion question.

Carly Fiorina’s conversion from Hillary Clinton fan to fervent critic
washingtonpost.com ^ | 8/14/15 | Ruth Marcus
In 2010, the then-GOP Senate nominee went all middle-school-cafeteria on her Democratic opponent's hairdo. “God, what is that hair? Sooo yesterday,” Fiorina, already miked up, commented, quoting an aide's assessment. Two years earlier, in the makeup room at ABC's “This Week” with me, Fiorina said something that, at the time, was mildly interesting, but is now revelatory. It was May 2008, close to the end of the long primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and we were discussing the two Democratic contenders.
At which point Fiorina, then a campaign surrogate for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, offered some unprompted praise for Clinton: If Fiorina hadn't been backing McCain, she told me, she would have been for Clinton.
“That's off the record,” Fiorina immediately added.
Did I get that right, Cruzers? (are there any left?)
True colors, Ted......True colors......
Unfortunately, a LOT of Cruz’s policy positions are in question...
This article is devastating. It means to me that Cruz never really went back on his support for H1B, TPA, TPP, China Free Trade, etc.
The quotes in here by Fiorina are proof of her alignment with the Chamber of Commerce that wants cheap labor:
1. “‘Really, I thought immigrants were the heart of this great country,’ Fiorina said with a dramatic pause. ‘Our great nation must always be the place where people come to build a better life for themselves and their families.’”
2. “Tech companies are getting tired of the ritual of traipsing to Capitol Hill to ask for visa increases and lobbying for a year at a time to get a small bump in the visa cap. “We’re having to negotiate numbers every single year, even though we need more than we’re going to get,” former HP CEO Carly Fiorina told POLITICO at the RNC last week.”
3. “What’s wrong with the H-1B visa system today, among other things, is that we curtail that program so tightly that the limits that Congress allows for H-1B visa entrance are usually filled within one week. So we have to find a more practical system for allowing smart, hard-working people to come into this country and it should be our goal to get them to stay here forever.”
Now? Now? REALLY?!?!?!?
This crap cost me my last job. These bastards better hope I never get cancer because if I do I’m going out in a blaze of glory like nobody has EVER seen before.
If I was remotely considering Cruz in any way shape or form, this selection of a VP would ensure that no way he’d get my vote. I watched this woman destroy one of the greatest tech companies this nation ever produced..... I lived right down the road from their offices during part of her tenure.... She shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power ever again, let alone a heartbeat from the presidency.
Cruz just guaranteed whatever support he might have had left from anyone in tech that knows their history, is gone.
But I guess he needs her skirt to hide behind like he did in Wisconsin.
Since Cruz isn’t going to be the nominee then I don’t see where his H-1B stance is even going to come up.
Ted’s H-1B stance has not been in question to many of us for quite some time now. His pick of Carly has just left those who made excuses for Ted with egg on their faces for their blind devotion to him.
