I'm sure you supported many liberal initiatives or candidates in the past right?
Listen toots - you're the one who equated Carly supporters with those of Obama supporters and called us uninformed and nearly demented.
No, we just recognize that from a realistic political standpoint, Carly would be the best possible choice to defeat Boxer. It has nothing to do with being "starry eyed" or supporting Carly like sheep. We analyzed the political data and did the math, and DeVore simply drew the short straw.
Her campaign ammo has been to project herself as a non-politician and complain about her opponents being "career politicians" to deflect the fact that she has very little in political advocacy (even in voting), so why would any sane person take what she says at face value? And the fact that she backed and worked for "career politician" McCain (who has more years in office than Campbell and DeVore combined!) just makes her a two-faced phony... I guess some career policians are more acceptable when you're not running against one, eh?
So with little in her political resume, what she has advocated for in public life is very important, and starts to paint the picture of the REAL Carly Fiorina, not just some image designed by her and her political consultants.
INTEGRITY... a trait still important to some Republicans.
Devore is gonna win this thing.
BUMP
Carly is the best bet to defeat Campbell.
Carly, with her job & company killing past, is the worst bet to defeat Boxer.
The Governor and Senator elections in CA this cycle are a real s*** sandwich.
I'd be happy if he does. I've never torn him down or attacked him personally. I just feel that the traction isn't there and he'll give Campbell the victory.
yes.
That’s right. The press and polls want us to write off DeVore and vote for lesser of evils. NO F’N WAY! We, the people, not the press or polls, will decide our senator.
No, it simply speaks to her being involved on an issue even if she may have been on the wrong side of it. Co-publishing an op-ed is not a violation of the law.
Her campaign ammo has been to project herself as a non-politician and complain about her opponents being "career politicians" to deflect the fact that she has very little in political advocacy (even in voting), so why would any sane person take what she says at face value?
So we can disregard this article then, right?
After all, her words meant nothing. She was just a private individual speaking out on an issue.
And the fact that she backed and worked for "career politician" McCain (who has more years in office than Campbell and DeVore combined!) just makes her a two-faced phony... I guess some career policians are more acceptable when you're not running against one, eh?
That doesn't mean anything.
So with little in her political resume, what she has advocated for in public life is very important, and starts to paint the picture of the REAL Carly Fiorina, not just some image designed by her and her political consultants.
I see it differently. I see someone who is the head of a major trans-national corporation and thought this idea would be the best way to improve the schools in CA. Whether or not she was right or wrong isn't the point. It is not unusual for a corporate executive to get involved with issues pertaining to their community or state. And this issue is irrelevant to her campaign. She's not going to be dealing with CA property taxes in the Senate.
It’s speaks to her character (or lack thereof) and her so-called conservative beliefs.
If she is not willing to help hold back runaway state government that is chomping at the bit to raise taxes to support their spending, what will she do (or not do) in Washington D.C.?
This was ten years ago. I don't think it's an indicator of some sorts.
Well...you did ask how we thought it was related to her Senate campaign.
I just have a hard time finding anything positive about a failed businesswoman and a so-called Republican in CA who once advocated repealing Prop 13.
You should know, we just got our asses handed to us by 3 turncoat “Republicans”, two of whom signed no new taxes pledges and one of those who went on a radio talk show and told the hosts 17 times in various ways that they would not raise taxes.
I hope you don’t blame us too much for being extremely skeptical of anyone who has demonstrated a willingness in the past to screw the taxpayer. Especially one who claims to be a conservative “Republican”.
Thanks to Freep, I’m changing my vote from Carly to Chuck Devore...
