Fiorina says she was 'offered many jobs' after HP firing
Politico ^ | 9/27/15 | KYLE CHENEY

Carly Fiorina said on Sunday she had plenty of job offers after being fired as the CEO of Hewlett Packard, including posts in the George W. Bush administration, but she decided against them.

"I didn’t want to go back to work as a CEO," the Republican presidential contender said on NBC's "Meet the Press," rejecting suggestions her lack of private-sector employment after leaving HP is an indictment of her leadership. "Yes, I was offered many jobs – as a CEO, in the Bush administration. I wanted a break, and then I wanted to give back."

There was some piece that came out late last week talking over Hillary’s health issues. She’s not in good shape, and it’s hard to imagine how she handles the primary period with travel and stress. I think if she loses Iowa in the primary and gets even more hyped over the next month....she’ll collapse at some point with serious health problems.

Then the question is...who picks up the trail? Right now...a fair number of people are actually talking Bernie because they see no other choice. Even if you throw VP Joe Biden into the deal...it really doesn’t excite that many Democrats. Forget about O’Malley entirely.

As for the debates...Bernie has been showing some good hyped up speeches the last month, and I suspect that the handful of debates will only plus-up Bernie in the end.

All of this equals a lower-than-average turn-out for November of 2016, and it hurts secondary candidates (Senator, governor, state attorney general, etc). Go back and look at the 1920 election. Massive landslide for Harding and I think this will repeat in this scenario. Harding lacked a lot skills and two years into his administration....massive corruption was ongoing and he was just beginning to figure this out, before he died. I kinda think the same situation could easily occur in 2016.

“I wanted a break, and then I wanted to give back.”

That’s why it took her FOUR YEARS to payoff $500,000 owed her staffers.

If the Chicago Mob can flush Hillary, SlowJoe becomes the nominee by default.

Then the Dems can cross over and install Bush as the R nominee.

Suddenly you have the 3rd and 4th Obama terms.

Remember when she was fired by the McCain Campaign in 2008 for her ineptness?

That’s really saying something about her.

If this is a race between Jeb and VP Joe....I would take a guess that half the voters from 2012 will just stay home. I’d even be willing to vote for some 3rd party nutcase from Kentucky.

She is not conservative.

"I challenge anyone on this board to listen to the Chuck Todd “interview” (more like an inquisition) with Fiorina today and say she is not an effective speaker..."

We don't NEED an effective speaker, we're not electing a Speaker-in-Chief, we're electing a PRESIDENT, a DO-ER.

We need someone whose resume has something more substantial in it than two completely effed-up corporations...

Dismissing warriors for our cause because of their looks is not going to get us where we want to go. It is childish and shameful.

Saul Alinsky: RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

BigBopper said that ridiculing Carly is childish and shameful. Saul Alinsky tells me that ridiculing Carly is effective. Who should I believe?

Warrior for our causes??? You must be joking, right?

Was she effective in the Todd interview or not?

Did she bash every other Republican running for President, the way Trump does, or did she bash Hillary Clinton and Democrat legislators?

Please explain her long-standing association with Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour........cuz being ‘a fighter’ is more than mouthing what we ‘believe’ and being ‘against Hillary’.(ref:http://canadafreepress.com/articleis/23814)

You want a fighter for the unborn and against Hillary Clinton - try Carly Fiorina.

I challenge anyone on this board to listen to the Chuck Todd “interview” (more like an inquisition) with Fiorina today and say she is not an effective speaker for the things we believe in.

Dismissing warriors for our cause because of their looks is not going to get us where we want to go. It is childish and shameful.


Warrior? LOL. It’s campaign gum flapping. It’s all words at this point. Given her GOPe connections, she has not earned the benefit of the doubt, IMO.

You are kidding right? The woman is a fraud. She is also a failure with a slick mouth and that is about it.

She is no outsider either. That is a lie on her part right off the top.

I'm all about ideas that advance freedom in this country. You obviously want to play games. Do you really think Saul Alinsky tactics are effective to use on this site with your fellow Freepers?
