Give me a break. Go read my years of posting history.
You teaching me on economics and the meaning of capitalism is laughable and downright embarrassing (for you).

Having been here only 6 months, you really should know more about those you post to before trying to put words in their mouth
(which is a well-known transparent act used by paid campaign shills for year).

That was a knockout punch you just delivered, if I ever saw one.

You can believe politicans and talk show pimps -- or perhaps rely on a more unbiased source for your information.

The rise and fall of Carly Fiorina: an ethical case study

Those are the things voters will be hearing about for the next 5 months and it ain't gonna be pretty.

Intelligent? She is AS intelligent as Boxer, for sure. Without a doubt, she is a great salesman. But then so was Obama.

If DeVore could not win more than 16% of republican votes, do you seriously believe he had a better chance in November against Boxer with all the demorats voting
in libural Kalifornia?

That does not seem to be even in the same ball park as reality.

If Fiorina ousts Boxer, I don’t care if it is just salesmanship, I will be ecstatic. I can’t wait for the debates to begin. Fiorina impressed me on Greta last night.

Absolutely NO attack lines available with DeVore. With Carly, she will be shredded as the fraud she is, deservedly so.

I am sure there will be attacks on Carly by the dems.
So how come DeVore being attack-proof lost so badly with
just the republicans voting in primary?

Just wondering how DeVore could do better than that 16% in
general.

Becaue of RINOS like you in the CA GOP who are afraid of conservatives. WhyTF else would you be slobbering over such RINO as gnarly.

If your posts on this thread are any indication of your knowledge of capitalism and economics you need to go back to school.

been here for years. there are reasons to change you ID you know. Like losing passwords and changing email but again don't let facts get in the way of your emotional response so typical of the anti-capitalism crowd.

you are so blind to your partisanship that facts just tend to fly by you it seems I suppose you think you like Devore are the only "real conservatives"

LI haven't talked about either. It is you with your nose in the air trying to lecture others.

Really? Why don't you share with us your prior user names(S). Do you get a new one for each election? How many times have you been banned before?

but again don't let facts get in the way of your emotional response so typical of the anti-capitalism crowd.

There you go again posting lies.

you are so blind to your partisanship that facts just tend to fly by you it seems

I'm about the least partisan person I know.

I suppose you think you like Devore are the only "real conservatives"

Not true. Quit "supposing" what I think -- you've got it WRONG every time.

gotta go

Admitted retread: “there are reasons to change you ID you know.”

Oh good.

What were your earlier FReepnames?

That was not my question. You implied DeVore has a better chance than Fiorina because he is attack proof. If there are so many RINO’s in CA why do you think he has better chance?

If best DeVore can do is 16% amongst REPUBs in spite of being attack proof, why does he have a better chance than Fiorina in general? That is my question.

I am not arguing your contention that CA is full of RINO’s.
Of course it is, and that is precisely why Fiorina did better in primary and will do OK in general.

What I see the statist shills doing is calling the least liberal candidate a conservative in the general, but the only chance to win in the state in the primary.

What this produces is liberal lite candidates whom conservatives don’t trust and whom lib candidate will show the lib voters isn’t “progressive” enough.

So what used to be an ideological corral has had its right most stakes pulled (its principal foundations) and moved left. The whole population is thus yanked to the left even as more than 50 percent of the population doesn’t want to go there.

So in the general, where both candidate pull towards bigger govt, the people find themselves being dragged left. The only difference is that the Statist candidate tends to go there slower while the Left screams at the top of their lungs that they are TOO CONSERVATIVE. All, of course, abetted by the commentators on the MFM and the resident trolls at sites like this one. And so even conservatives think all the problems lay with those who really are conservative, not liberal lites like GWB, or near radicals like Arnold.

I’ve a sketches for how to counterattack, but I really am tired.

> but we WARNED YOU ALL??????????
> I voted for Devore. Don’t include me in “you all.”

Noted. :-) I’m talking to those who think FioRINO was the best choice in the primary, or were somehow blindly following Sarah’s endorsement hook, line and sinker.

Sigh. I guess I better shut up and obey the 11th commandment.

Fiorina’s so called H-P Debacle:

During Carly’s tenure at HP she doubled the company’s revenues,

improved profitability in every product category.

HP’s stock price outperformed the technology index of peer companies by 22 points during her tenure and

When she left the company the number of employees was greater than both HP and Compaq premerger.

It is good that in real business world there are ACTUAL record of facts.

A debacle indeed....but only in the minds of demorats, purists and other under-informed people.

Yep. Another landslide for Babs. Too bad. She would have had no ammo against a conservative.

Maybe not, but when the idiots outnumber the conservatives on the ground it's really a moot point. California is lost. I've been thinking about it since the other night.

Devore didn't get the GOP nod, Carly did. But honestly, the difference in the general election between the two is background noise. Neither one really stands a chance so long as San Francisco and LA continue to have larger populations than the rest of the state. I hate to say it, but the real difference between Fiorina and DeVore isn't just their stance on issues, it's the margin of loss. I doubt either one would be on the good side of a 20% loss at this point. The Dems are going to circle their wagons around 2 senators, Lincoln who is toast in Arkansas and Boxer. Reid is going down, but the in a state-wide race, California's population almost certainly, unfortunately, guarantees a Boxer win.

Ugh....
