In a small but significant poll, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) defeated former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina by a single vote.

The New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women straw poll handed Cruz 21 votes to Fiorina’s 20, out of 94 total votes, according to NH1.com....

Why would I want to reconsider after discovering that Fiorina once described Islamic civilization as the "Greatest In The World"?

I'm saying she has no business being an SOS in the first place.

Carly is a an expert on history. “Greatest” is taken in the context of that historical period.

Just as we view Washington as great, even though he had slaves.

If you expect any candidate to walk out on stage and proclaim Islam is a cult started by a lunatic, what most of us now think, you will be disappointed.

Knowing what we know now, all the math they invented was probably stolen from a Hindu before they cut his head off, stunting science for a thousand years because they slaughtered the genius.

I understand.

However, my original point was that I didn't think Fiorina -- or any woman -- should be Secretary of State in the next administration.

That's not because I don't think a woman is capable of being a good SOS. Instead, it's because of the regimes (and people) our next SOS will have to effectively deal with.

We've done ourselves no favors in the Middle East by being represented by Maddy, the Pantsuit and Ms. Rice. Under the circustanes, at this time in history, we're better served by a man (not a buffoon, but a man) in this post.

Don’t equate the H1B visas with illegals pouring into the nation - it doesn’t equate and has next to zero impact on American workers. If that’s your only beef with Cruz, you can put it to rest.

I have a sincere query about Cruz’ position on increasing H1B visas. Do we NEED any more visas?

No.

Are these current visas taking jobs from Americans?

Yes.

See www.freerepublic.com/tag/h1b for more information.

I guess conservative women don’t
“vote with their VJs”
like liberal women are encouraged to do.

We will need a highly-skilled workforce to expedite our recovery. As we know, the free public education of this country is horrible. What does it produce? Fewer and fewer qualified students for colleges to become highly-skilled graduates (science, technology, engineering and math).

Are you preparing for the ever-worsening skills gap?
