Carly Fiorina Nails Katie Couric on Double Standards, Hillary Defense
newsbusters.org ^ | May 5, 2015 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 05/06/2015 4:34:00 PM PDT by newfreep

FIORINA: Well, you see, Katie, in the world I come from, a title is just a title. I mean, you went through a whole bunch of things about me as CEO. You weren't impressed with my title. Why are we so impressed with political titles? Senator is a title. Secretary of State is a title. It's a completely legitimate question to say, "What has anyone accomplished with their title?" And the truth is, there are many in the political class who haven't accomplished a whole lot, despite their titles.

COURIC: What about the trustworthy claim (re: Hillary)?

FIORINA: Well, you know, I think when you know that Benghazi is a purposeful terrorist attack and you peddle a fiction for four weeks after that attack, that indicates you are not trustworthy. When you talk about a private e-mail server, that's not trustworthy. When it turns out that you were supposed to be disclosing all these foreign government donations to the Clinton Global Initiative while you were Secretary of State and you didn't and now the Clinton Global Initiative is having to restate their 990s, that doesn't sound very trustworthy to me.

FIORINA: A lot of times, women will come up to me and say, "You know, I'm very uncomfortable with the extreme position the Republican Party takes on abortion." And so, I'll say, "Do you know what the Democratic position is?" Most people don't, by the way. The Democratic policy is any abortion, any time, for any reason at any point in a woman's pregnancy, right up until the last minute, to be paid by taxpayers. Barbara Boxer described this policy as, "It's not a life until it leave the hospital." How do you feel about that? Most women are horrified. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2015/05/05/carly-fiorina-nails-katie-couric-double-standards-hillary-defense#sthash.XSnNZKpJ.dpuf

“Thank God she has no chance. Could you imagine America being destroyed like she did with HP. “

Yeh, she destroyed the commie slug Katie Couric in an interview. Let’s pounce on her for her time at HP. Are you incapable of understanding that the woman is a warrior for our side?

Well the fix is in on Net Neutrality just like everything else obama wants, the communist have take control of the gov’t in a soft coup, the islamists have been following the same formula and intend to wrestle control of gov’t from the commies, obama just stated today he intends to get as much as he can done in time he has left.

He has no opposition other than a few hard core conservatives and the Rino’s are doing there best to hold them in check. I do not think many realize how critical our current condition is, unless we can get behind one candidate now (Cruz) we are going to lose our Free Republic we don’t have the time, money or resources to play politics with all the republican wannabees, Cruz will need a mandate greater than Reagan and that is a tall order, it needs to be solid sweep there is too much time left for obama to put this country on life support so the next POTUS will have the toughest time imaginable.

By Jan 2016 this country will be in tatters ripped apart from within, we can see it happening daily and when obama by executive order creates amnesty, it will be a whole new world there will be no America the beautiful, it will be a nightmare, folks like you, I and many freepers can see the future by observing the past but we are in the grand scheme of things too few and too far between.

We the people have failed our constitutional mandate to depose a tyrannical gov’t, we have allowed the land to go to waste, only God can help us now, and I question why he would want to.

Sorry for the depressing rant but I see our country on the throes of death, I can feel the darkness in my bones.

I like her a great deal as well. She’s right up there with Walker as my top choices thus far.

It’s funny - we see the pattern repeat itself time and again with successful, driven conservative women. They are villified, humiliated, and otherwise subjected to the most sexist and condescending treatment from the so-called champions of women’s empowerment, the left. I love that Ms. Fiorina is jabbing back at them.

I hope she downs more than jabs back. I hope she wipes the floor with them.

Carly will be a great VP for Cruz or Walker.

She is a lot like Rudy Giuliani. A little too center for most here, but an excellent communicator and warrior for our side.

I would love to give her a chance to take an ax to the Federal bureaucracy.

She is an anti-Hillary (or Warren) guided missile. Aim and fire!

She knows she is not going to “interviewed”, but that it is actually a debate - so she isn’t going in there with the attitude that the interviewer is going to be fair and in fact, is actually trying to best her.

As long as we are going to have, like, 15 candidates, let’s get 15 candidates on TV attacking Hillary! all at the same time, not attacking each other.

Hear me, Huckenberry?

Katie, you were once "the perky princess" on a major network morning show, but your claim-to-fame there was getting an on-air colonoscopy...you then bombed as an anchor of a major network newscast...now, with all YOUR experience, you work for yahoo as a video blogger, and as such, no more important/relevant than some guy that videotapes himself sticking matches up his nose and putting it up on YouTube... only you are less entertaining/enlightening.

Now what was your question?

...only God can help us now, and I question why he would want to.

Because He Loves us. If nothing else, He'll tell us where to go (and not look back)...

my takeaway is how does this Couric chick still have a job?

she didn’t destroy HP. you can buy laptops and printers and the brand is still strong. Stock does not a company make. unless you need cash — they didn’t have any need to raise cash via secondary offerings. The price of a company stock only reflects attractiveness of the company to a class of speculators. (Apple goes up and down) compaq was a pig waiting for someone to choke on. She chose to buy an established brand with manufacturing capabilities in order to diversify the HP brand. buy outs are very difficult for any CEO to manage. Jack Welch made the same mistakes with his Aero. but, he was able to absorb the shock and then sell it all. HP was not a conglomerate that could hide the money. I’m only offering a different point of view.

IBM stock fell 60% and HP fell 80%. There was a lot more going on 15 years ago than just poor business decisions.

Please, please, please do not use the words “nailed Katie Couric” in a sentence...

That decision is for LAZ and LAZ only!

What is the verdict LAZ?

I get melancholy like that at times when I see how things are going in America.

Things will get better. I have to believe it or what’s the point of even caring.

I can see Carly Fiorino as a solid VP to Walker or Cruz. They would make an awesome team unlike what we currently have as Prez and VP.

Didn’t her father or grandfather have something to do with founding NBC or something? He was some kind of ‘’media mogul’’? Always makes me wonder how wealthy people can have such stupid off spring.
