WHO IS CARLY FIORINA? AND WHO CARES!
Formerly the disgraced Hewlett Packard CEO, has declared that she is running for President. Carly Fiorina is a sophisticated and intelligent woman who is crafting a new image, (more like cook the books baking a new message about her new image) and being the only woman’s side of the issue in the Republican Party.
Fiorina, 60, is running as the anti-Hillary answer for the Republican ticket and might be a strong contender as Vice -President if chosen by the dorks who come out of the woodwork every national election to get a woman on the ticket against Hillary. Losers and Evangelical baiters like Mike "Bass Player" Huckabee, The Number Two Rand, Memoryless Perry, Ben "Crazy” Carson, Ted "Screw the Country” Cruz, "Never Give up Santorum", Chris “ Wheres the Donuts” Christie and a host of others who climb out of the clown car every four years for the coffer building assault on intelligence they are known for.
Ringling Bros announced today they have sold their “Clown Car” thus to the Republican Party since they borrow it every four years anyway. Insiders tell us this year the GOP started a search for a “Clown Bus” since even the little clown car just can’t handle it and the last driver parked over a manhole cover instead of the portal and got nothing but a lot of methane gas. The driver when questioned said, “ Oh, I really didn’t notice the difference.
If Fiorina, who lost the 2010 California Senate race to Barbara Boxer and spent millions of her own money were simply running against Hillary as a tool of the party she wouldn't be very exciting as she is relatively new to politics but not new to industry which is what we call a counter-claim.
This future leader contender of the country would have to shake the image of a witch. She led HP into downsizing so severe 30,000 HP employees lost their jobs and benefits. They dumped her soon after that and paid her a 21 MILLION dollar Golden parachute.
Fiorina would enact her proposed federal ban on abortions after four months of pregnancy. Claiming being a Christian whose proposal grows out of a faith many which feel comes a need to control female sexuality. But in America, there is a religious "sanctity of life". Fiorina is attempting to find a middle ground that sidesteps the knottier issues concerning instances of rape and incest that continuously trip up extremist conservatives, while offering protection to fetuses that have "attained viability." The law today is adequate in protecting fetuses in the third trimester.
Fiorina, is a Stanford graduate who clawed her way up from secretary to CEO of HP. Without cause, thrown out by the board of Hewlett Packard after bringing the company to it's needs., is all too familiar with this reality.
Fiorina, written about as a "choice feminist" believes that expanding women's choices, "whether home schooling or running a company," is a far more pressing issue than wage inequality. She has no use for laws mandating "equal pay" or paid maternity leave or contraceptive coverage that for the obvious reason that they'll backfire by making women more expensive and hence less employable.
Rather, she calls for abolishing union rules and seniority systems that disproportionately block women from moving up and embraces merit-based pay and promotion.
Feminists like the New Republic's Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig has already advised her fellow feminists that they are not "obligated to support right-wing women" like Fiorina. She fits right into the shoes of Sarah Palin and the current real nutcase Michele "bat-crazy" Bachman in Washington. We had enough of those two and their legacy is one of lots of rhetoric and reclassified as "bovine end overproduction"
She is barely showing up in the polls. I know 30,000 who wouldn’t vote for her.
HISTORY
Carly Fiorina really doesn't rank. Again spending millions she lost to Barbara Boxer, in California. She was asked to lead Hewlett-Packard, presided over a difficult downsizing, and was sent away. Thats her experience losing 30,000 jobs and shuffling of with 21,000,000 dollars and she would put America back on it’s feet. Now if she claims she will fire 535 non-working corrupt politicians in Washington I might listen to her.
BOTTOM LINE
No political experience and a record in private industry that doesn't boast a string of successes and money making accomplishments except for herself and she did well leaving her husband at home to bring up the kids because she was earning enough for two easily. Besides she might of fired her kids.
Fiorina makes a political argument. It runs this way: Federal regulations are written by a political class of lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians for the benefit of well-connected corporate interests. Big business and big government are two sides of the same corrupt deal. To this I agree emphatically. Laws should be written in English, simplified, not by those of a social and financial level who create something they have been paid for by outside interests and lobbyists.
Fiorina is saying that a tacit "Too Big To Fail" guarantee reduced 10 enormous banks to five gargantuan ones, even as small, community banks that make loans to small businesses begin to shrink under the weight of regulatory compliance and government burden.
She defended Indiana's version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
She supported Proposition 8 in California, which banned same-sex marriage in 2008.
Fiorina has a very tough road ahead competing with wannabe contenders, has been entertainers, evangelical nutcases, right turn only conservative bullies, libertarian movement shakedown artists, practicing governors and senators, who've know the game well.
On a scale of 1-10 we rated her a minus 2.
