Snips: HP’s famous Carly Fiorina .......................is known for removing them (jobs) while CEO.
There is a noticeable negative sediment from HP employees; I’ve had many callers to my show state that they are none to pleased with Fiorina’s managerial skills. Many callers reference her Compaq deal and decision to outsourcing jobs to India, while hundreds of American HP employees packed their boxes for the exits.
She has made comments that are seen to be supportive of President Obama’s stimulus, and bailout packages.
Worse yet, she has referenced the last frontier of true free speech – the Internet – as a territory that needs to be submitted to government oversight and regulation.
I'm going to place some of DeVore's comments on Carly here so others can evaluate them for themselves:
On Carly’s comments in the past, Devore references her columns in the business trade magazines.
“She says she’s against the stimulus, but if you read the trade publications that she has written for, she has said things like (about Obama’s stimulus) her comment that no money went to bio-tech and it all went to roads, or she also said that it was good that millions went to the broadband industry.”
On Carly’s support of “Cap and Trade”, DeVore references her bi-partisan stance with Senator Lyndsey Graham.
“She has said good things about “Cap and Trade”, and praised Senator Lyndsey Graham’s supposedly bi-partisan work with John Kerry, one of the most liberal members of the Senate, over his “Cap and Trade” energy tax; that Barbara Boxer is now pushing through Congress.”
On Carly’s support of government regulation of the Internet, DeVore mentions her desire for more regulations.
“She was very clearly asked by the interviewer; do you believe there needs to be more government control, and or regulation of the Internet? And you heard her – with her own words – that she is for more government oversight of the Internet.”
“There’s big difference between regulating content and free speech on the Internet and going after actual criminals. You see, anything that is illegal in real life is still illegal online, like child pornography. Is she intimating that women need protection from free speech online? Or that a woman that voluntarily agrees to be photographed in certain suggestive posses, that she needs protection from big government; to come in and tell her that she shouldn’t do that? With free speech comes personal responsibilities.”
While all eyes are on the GOP’s gubernatorial fight, if Chuck DeVore can raise enough money, and gain enough media attention, the GOP’s US Senate race may display the best fireworks.
Early on it is Carly acting like she is the only player in the elephant’s room, focusing her statements on Barbara Boxer. That’s good strategy. But DeVore will need to be addressed, He is well connected, well supported and he owns the Tea Party Patriots passion, and respect.
Let the games begin.
