I know that some people on here are party plants whose job it is to pump up any RINO in need of help but you can’t honestly buy a single word of what you just typed.

She was a failure. The Compaq deal was an absolute disaster for the company as was the proxy fight. The stock value of the company took a major fall. Profits fell under her reign. Twenty thousand in the US were fired and others had their pay cut. They paid her $20 million dollars just to leave. Her downfall was not due to a plot from a liberal corporate culture. It was due to failure in the marketplace. She was a disaster and no amount of spin can change that.

“I know that some people on here are party plants whose job it is to pump up any RINO in need of help but you can’t honestly buy a single word of what you just typed.”

You know? Really! Read the article provided in the link below:

http://www.answers.com/topic/carly-fiorina

As the article states the reviews of Fiorina’s tenure at HP are mixed. Some things she did worked, some did not. I see that you’ve quoted a blogger with a negative viewpoint in your post.....good on you Mr Gloom!

The take on her time at HP is mostly in the eye of the beholder. Long term her ideas worked, whether she was there to enjoy that or not. You’ll remember that Fiorina led HP through the tumultuous years after the IT bubble burst. HP survived to remain a viable IT company.

As I stated in my post and you can see by reading the article, Fiorina remade the Corporate culture at HP. That culture no longer exists. It died kicking and screaming as it was dragged into the 21st Century.

.....pump up RINO’s?????

There is scant evidence that Fiorina is a so-called RINO. She may turn out to be more Moderate than Conservative, or she may not. At this point anything you say can only be characterized as biased opinion/speculation. No matter how she votes in the Senate she will be a 1000% better than Boxer, and there is no denying that. The whole point of the 2010 election is to FIRE Boxer. I’m sorry you cannot see this simple truth, and instead spend your time speculating about the motivations of others who you do not know.

RINO?....The use of the term is pejorative at best, and meant to stiffle discussion and undercut support of the Republican Candidate for US Senator from the state of California. What’s your Agenda except to undercut the Republican Candidate’s bid? I’m sure you think that that is the”Conservative” thing to do......baloney.

I see no useful reason to denigrate Fiorina now that the field for the General Election is set. Whether you agree or disagree about Fiorina’s performance at HP, I dare say she has out performed anything either you or I will ever do, never mind what the sitting Senator Barbara Boxer has or can do.

The simple fact is that Boxer needs to go for not only the sake of California, but also the sake of the nation.....

Whine all you want about Fiorina, I’ll reserve judgement until after she takes office and has had time to build up a voting record. 2016 is not that far away.
