Fiorina on Clinton in 2008: She was a great candidate. She has helped millions of women all over this country. Women of any political party owe a debt of gratitude to Hillary Clinton and I will bet that every woman up here agrees with me.

Can’t post much today. Had eye surgery this morning in one eye for cataract removal.
She was a great candidate. She has helped millions of women all over this country. Women of any political party owe a debt of gratitude to Hillary Clinton and I will bet that every woman up here agrees with me.
Well, there you go, Carly...I bet that one will come back to haunt you sooner rather than later.
Certainly in the primaries...and if she got that far, they'd be touting it over and over in the general.
But I do not think there is a snow balls chance she will get that far.
Watched 60 seconds. Enough! Jeb, Carly, I’ll stay home.
Also Marco for us.

Also worth mentioning:
.....From ConservativeTreehouse:
Carly Fiorina on Immigration: Pass the DREAM Act. For other undocumented immigrants, a direct path to citizenship is unfair. While running for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, Fiorina said she supports the DREAM Act, which would give legal status to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
Carly Fiorina on Climate change: It is real and manmade. But government has limited ability to address it. Speaking in New Hampshire in February, Fiorina said there is scientific consensus that climate change is real and caused by humans.
Carly Fiorina on Education: Supports Common Core Set national standards but give local districts maximum control. No Child Left Behind was positive. In a position paper while running for the U.S. Senate in California, Fiorina
*****
In her interview with Katie Couric from May, Carly Fiorina went on and on about how if you dont have a room full of diversity when making an important decision, you will not get the decision right. (ff 9:43 - 13:00)

And last but not least...regarding the Fiorina's quote "Islamic Civilization was Greatest in the World:
"Ill end by telling a story.There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.
It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.
One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilizations commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.
And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.
Its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in fear to think of such things.
When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.
While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization Im talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.
Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.
And perhaps we can learn a lesson from his example: It was leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions.
This kind of enlightened leadership leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage led to 800 years of invention and prosperity.
In dark and serious times like this, we must affirm our commitment to building societies and institutions that aspire to this kind of greatness. More than ever, we must focus on the importance of leadership bold acts of leadership and decidedly personal acts of leadership.
With that, Id like to open up the conversation and see what we, collectively, believe about the role of leadership."
There is so much wrong in that quote. Fiorina majored in medieval history at Stanford at time (one assumes) during which Edward Saids discredited, anti-Western ideology on colonialism and Orientalism flowed within MESA Nostra intellectual/university circles. With 14 years having passed since that speech, Fiorina should revisit the topic and clarify.
When one hears the phrase "golden age of Islam", the idiom, "all that glitters is not gold" immediately pops up.
Bill Warner illustrates in 70 seconds Islam's destruction of Classical Civilization over 12 hundred years here, ff 12:14 and reveals there were three, not one, but THREE Dark Ages brought on by Islam, one in Europe, one in Turkey (Byzantine) and North Africa. (ff 24:27).
Then fast forward once more to 31:50 where Mr. Warner specifically addresses the so called 'golden age' of al Andalus (Spain) and asks, was it a "multicultural golden age" or a 'reign of terror'? His brilliant illustration answers that question leaving no doubt.
Interesting! A Hitlery loving RINO of the McCain brand! She is very sickening to watch and listen to, the way her head bobs around. So she was fired from HP, could not beat Boxer, and is a Hillary fan.
Sounds like she’s qualified to be Jeb’s running mate. While Jeb’s letting the Mexicans flood our lands, she can be making Marxists our of them!
Carly annoys the heck out of me, but this is right up there with the Biden/Kinnock video. Fiorina is a lightweight in this campaign and won’t be much of a factor unless someone is stupid enough to put her in the VP slot.
Hugh Hewitt was touting Fiorina on a show I heard this a.m.
She is not conservative. She is vulnerable on her horrible business background. She’s a rotten candidate.
Thanks for posting. Looks like just anther phony. Boy, they sure can fake a love of this country, can’t they?
I did a Post on here a week or so ago showing that Carly
Fiorina would have voted to confirm Sotomayor to the SCOTUS and was attacked viciously on here.
