I didn’t see the debate, but that was breathtaking!
While I appreciate her standing for the unborn, the rest of her performance was beyond annoying.
It was scripted. Fiorina has writers that know how to serve up red meat for conservatives.
People can say anything. Let’s repeat that for emphasis:
PEOPLE CAN SAY ***ANYTHING***.
It’s not what is ‘said’ that is important.
It’s what is ‘done’ that is important.
Skeletor will never be president.
Fully formed BABY, Carly. Libs refer to the progressed *clump of cells* as a fetus.
Carly’s constant interruptions she screeched out, were annoying. Her flip flops on Putin and Iran were head spinning.
That was a great moment but she’s not the one.
She lost the Senate race to Barbara Boxer. I know the media is propping her up right now but if she were to be the nominee, they would turn on her faster than a bitten human in Walking Dead.
We don’t need a loser.
“Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”
Is there a link to that video?
That was a great moment, very passionate and direct. I really loved it and thought she did very well. Although for some reason, she seems a little snobby and unlikeable to me.
I also wonder about comments by people who have followed her, and her career, more closely, and say that she sounds impressive but doesn’t follow through.
Overall, I really preferred Cruz. He was emotional when talking about the PP videos, “encouraging Americans” to watch them (which I hope more people will, after this debate).
Regardng Iran, Cruz did very well in pointing out what a sham this agreement is (all kinds of ways to avoid real inspections) and in bringing up his work in Medellin vs. Texas, indicating that the president cannot give away U.S. sovereignty, that Obama cannot unilaterally subject U.S. law to international approval.
I am not a fan of Carly. I did not like her when she was running HP. I was a client of Lucent back in the day, and generally, they sucked. Again, that was when she was there.
I thought she sounded too scripted. Clearly she practiced. And practiced. And timed her responses.
That is to be expected. I guess I would have been more impressed with a little less polish, and little more from the heart and off the cuff.
Finally, and this is a very personal issue: I always raise an eyebrow when someone loses a child to drug abuse. I know I need to be empathetic. But in my experience raising two kids in an affluent community rife with cocaine and heroin abuse. The children that we’ve lost over the past five or six year that I’ve personally known (my kids are 22 and 25 and I was very involved at the high school when they were there—so I knew a lot of their peers) have come from families where the parents were generally not involved.
I know there are exceptions to every stereo-type. But it raises a red flag for me. It is possible to be wealthy in America with kids who don’t die of drug abuse and who are contributing members of society.
She did well no doubt about it. Next polling will bring her up and IMHO, Bush down even more.
