Actually, this is addressed to all the Devore supporters on this thread who have bought in to Devore's false claim that he is the only real conservative in this race. The only effect that this slander will have is to divide the conservative base and hand the primary to Campbell, who is a RINO.
So come on all you Devore devotees, give me some issues on which Carly's position is that of a RINO.
As one blogster put it:
"Fiorina is a loser. Of course she’s better than Boxer, but that would be true of a turd. It is unbelievable that the CA GOP cannot find a better candidate in a year where a Senate seat is ripe for the taking!"
and another:
"Carly’s a conservative? Really? When did that happen?"
and another:
"Carly Fiorina - John McCain in a skirt."
to which I would have substituted Mitt Romnuts in place of McLame.
But the reason I think she is a RINO is because she is tone deaf to conservatives and supported maintaining and expanding the H1B program as well as being heavily involved in outsourcing. Her tenure as CEO of two companies was a disaster and there is an overwhelming consensus that HP improved greatly after she departed because she was gone. Her qualifications seem to have been that she was a woman at a time when being a strong woman and breaking the glass ceiling seemed more important than improving quality, american jobs and market share.
Here is a puff piece on her:
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/california-217606-carly-fiorina.html
In this article I can read between the lines and see she is interested in herself more than serving people in California. For example:
Admittedly, I have not always been engaged in the electoral process, and I should have been. For many years I felt disconnected from the decisions made in Washington and, to be honest, really didn't think my vote mattered because I didn't have a direct line of sight from my vote to a result.
I realize that thinking was wrong. As I grew throughout my career, beginning as a secretary and eventually becoming a CEO, I saw how government impacted business. I learned more as a member of advisory boards at the State Department, the Pentagon and the CIA. I now understand, in a very real way, that the decisions made by the Senate impact every family and every business, of any size, in America.
"I now understand...." she says, meaning she's on a learning curve. How about running for State Senate Carly? Maybe you could gain some experience before breaking into national politics with nothing more than having been an unpopular and failed CEO with no development of political principles. In other words Carly you are an opportunist for yourself first, got a taste of that big ole influence did you? And now you want to eat it everyday.
This is what motivates me to run for the U.S. Senate. And so today I am announcing my candidacy to serve the people of California as your next U.S. senator.
Gee Carly, saw how the Senate 'impacts' business which you ran poorly yourself and now after being shown the door you'd like to get in on the turdfest that is Barbara Boxbutt?
Throughout my career I've brought people together, and I've solved problems. And that is what is needed in our government today. People who are willing to set aside ego and partisanship and instead work to develop solutions to our problems.
Oh gee just what we need in the Senate, bring people together and sing Kumbayah!
Our most pressing problems today are too few jobs for Americans and too much spending in Washington. As California's senator, economic recovery and fiscal accountability will be my priorities. I will not settle for a jobless recovery. And we can start the important work of getting our financial house back in order by demanding to know where our money is being spent. Let's put every government budget and every government bill on the Internet for every citizen to see.
Yeah sure Carly, after you performed your greatest hits with outsourcing American IT jobs to India and China, supporting the expansion of the H1B program.
And the only reason she seems to advocate why people should vote for her is that she is better than Boxer. That's a poor reason to run for office.
We don't need this in politics. She has no conservative principles other that "Gee I saw it and I liked it! I want some of that yum yum!"
She will be another wishy-washy Republican that raises her finger to see which way the wind seems to be blowing before she votes, IOW RINO SPAWN!!!!!!!!!!
