Speak of the devil.
So, Carly, whatever the decision might be, should be supported. This thinking is why so many corrupt judges get away with their rulings.
The same way we should have accepted the Dred Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson decisions.
>> So much for the “I like Carly” crew around here <<
Heh. Nice timing. Carly being Carly again.
It's not just some misguided FReepers drinking the "Carly is a great conservative" kool-aid, there's also a number of Tea Party activists and radio talk show hosts. They basically argue that they didn't care for her c. 2008-2010 when she was a McCain adviser and GOP establishment candidate for Senate, but she's become "much more conservative" since then and "embraced Tea Party values". Sorry, not seeing it. Apparently she's given some anti-Hillary speeches so now they think she's a Reagan clone.
Worse is the conservative worship for Jeannie Pirro. She was a terribly embarrassing RINO who rightfully dropped out of a Senate primary to run against Hillary when her past kept haunting her. Now a bunch of conservaitves on the internet have orgasms whenever she speaks on TV and threatens to "take down Obama". And Pirro (pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, etc.) is certainly to the left of Fiorina. But Pirro's not running for office again, so her actual beliefs on government policy likely won't be scrutinized and she'll continue to give "conservative" soundbites on TV that useful idiots have orgasms over.
In any case, I can't see Fiorina lasting long in the GOP presidential primaries. The big problem is if any Republican is stupid enough to put her on the ticket because the mainstream media keeps playing up the idea. I think Bush pretty much appointed Colin Powell Secretary of State because the media kept fantasizing about how awesome it would be to have Powell as a top-ranking official in a Republican administration, and worked for years to make it a reality. Puke.
The Jon Huntsman of this election cycle?
Well, I suspect that Carly is really aiming for the VP slot (and a springboard for another run in 8 years), or at least a high level cabinet post.
I find her Saturday night rants entertaining.
But I don't confuse entertainers with leaders.
I assumed that she was just another GOP corporatist.
What do they care about gay marriage and illegals?
She was appearing on the Sunday network shows round-table discussions before this make believe run.
I think she is looking for a VP slot, or something similar.
thanks for the heads up, not that I was ever a fan
of hers
I still don’t support their “decision” on Roe. Why in the hell would I support this blasphemy?
Bingo.
Caffeinated Thoughts is run by Shane Vander Hart, a conservative Christian in Iowa who is doing great work by asking hard questions to candidates, and also made national news in the 2012 primary cycle -- work which in an earlier generation would have been done by conservative newspapers in Iowa and New Hampshire and other early decider states.
Vander Hart deserves some serious compliments for his work.
She’s a dick.

Carly, you’re fired!
