This Could Be America’s Iron Lady (Fiorina = Thatcher?)
American Spectator ^ | 9/23/15 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 09/23/2015 6:15:42 AM PDT by jimbo123

For more than 25 years, Republicans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan. After last week’s debate at the Reagan Library, Republicans might have instead found our Margaret Thatcher.

Consider what syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote about Fiorina in a profile of her back in April:

Fiorina is impressive. Whether she can win the nomination, or perhaps the number two spot (which she refuses to talk about) we’ll know soon enough. But watch her in the coming debates and see if you don’t notice a little Margaret Thatcher in her. Like Thatcher, Fiorina is tough and smart.

Thomas’s words proved to be prophetic. Carly Fiorina stood out on that debate stage much like Thatcher stood out among Britain’s Tories when she wrested the leadership of the Conservative Party from Edward Heath forty years ago. In so doing, she proved that her performance at last month’s GOP under-card debate was no fluke. She put the Republican Party and America on notice by turning in a performance that was assertive, bold, and confident.

Thatcher = Leader.
Carly = Bitch.

That’s the problem with women, they don’t know the difference.

If you’re going to elect a former CEO for President pick one who wasn’t fired from their last job.

Why limit to Thatcher? Perhaps a Joan of Arc... Mother Theresa... Cleopatra... Sacagawea... All rolled into one!

Thatcher’s forehead moved. Carly’s never moves.

Fiorina is no Thatcher.
Carly thinks we should surrender the rule of law and the country to fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers.

Good, but you’re one of the few. Most women think being screechy and demanding is leadership.

“Thatcher’s forehead moved. Carly’s never moves.”

Carly has an angry, slashing way of moving her jaw.

Besides being a Botox Bitch, Carly is also a poser. All she does is strike a pose and hold it. Watch her. She will take three steps, strike a pose, then hold it. She has the natural movements of a robot.

Fiorina is a card carrying member of the GOPe, having worked in the McCain campaign, & been a high official in the GOPe. She is the female equivalent of Jeb Bush. As such, she will lie with the best of them & has already done so repeatedly. She is not the “outsider” she pretends to be.
