‘Chuck Todd just got jacked up': Carly Fiorina is throwing ‘domaingate’ right back at the media
Twitchy.com ^ | May 10, 2015 | Twitchy Staff

Carly Fiorina is clearly not worried about the mocking from the media over fake web domains. After she appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this morning, she let Chuck Todd know he has a domain of his own out there.

Here’s a link, so you can have a look yourself, at the Carly Fiorina “Demon Sheep” ad.

If a concern is about intra-party squabbling, then you should be aware that Carly’s bizarre and vicious ad targeted a fellow Republican. Are we supposed to just ignore Carly’s record?

And a far superior version, featuring an enhanced soundtrack.

She was not a terrible candidate. She lost to Boxer by 10 points in California. I would say that is a respectable loss in a hopelessly blue state. Give her credit for that.

As for HP, I read in the WSJ a few days ago, that the changes she made at HP had a positive effect after she was forced out. The paper gave her credit for HP's performance after the fact.

Last, Carly is not dumb. She knows she is not going to win the nomination. She is campaigning for the VP slot and I think she is going to get it. As far as I know, she has not criticized any pub candidate, which shows what she is campaigning for.

However, it is vitally important she is included in the debates for her VP strategy to work. I think attm, she does not qualify.

Good for you and I am doing the same. She deserves at the very least moral support and perhaps more. She lost to Boxer by only 10 points, a respectable loss.

Childish and petty. That is exactly what I expect from freepers.

Yes, Carly fought hard to change the HP culture.

She fought hard enough that they violated their own corporate rules to give her tens of millions of dollars to get rid of her.

How is this not a “Clintonian” form of self-serving actions, and how is this a “victory” in terms of conservative principles?


Carly had an employment contract

HP wanted to cancel the contract.

They mutually agreed to settle.

I don't know the terms of the settlement.

I don't care.

It's none of my business.

This is a victory for conservative principles because it confirms the sanctity of contracts and the ability of companies and individuals to agree to lawfully modify such terms via mutual agreement when they disagree.

The other option is General Motors, Chrysler and Solyndra

I have to assume you are one of those who she laid off since you are on every single thread that has the name Carly on it even if it is not the HP Carly. Anyone obsessed like you by Carly where you feel the need to repeat yourself over and over and over and over has some personal issues to overcome. You don’t have an opinion, you have an agenda for you or for someone else. I discount all your comments.

Yes, you have an agenda. Definitely a hater. I’m sorry you got laid off. It is traumatic and so I understand your state of mind, but I think you need to look at the whole picture.

Thank you. Your comment is a breath of fresh air. I doubt it will do any good, but thanks for trying.

No HP employment history and no agenda here, only to expose Carly’s true record.

This is important, because while Hillary also needs to be exposed, Carly on her own is toxic.

The best result is that other Republican candidates go after Hillary with more vigor, so we can get past the gender defense early, and with no further need for Carly, compete on a level playing field.

(I suspect Hillary won’t make it to the general in 2016, just as she was beaten by a less experienced challenger in 2008. No one will voluntarily listen to the voice if they can find another choice).

No, I don't buy it at all. Your comments are emotion based. This is personal with you and I do think you were laid off at HP or someone in your household was laid off - it happens and I'm sorry about it.

Your comments do not appear detached, but very personal. Carly is not toxic at all, unless you take her candidacy as a personal affront as you consistently demonstrate.

You seem bright, but some of your comments belie that, so the other option is you are paid by another campaign to tamp down any enthusiasm for Carly. That does happen.

First, you write that Hillary needs to be exposed. She is exposed in all her glory and Carly is helping expose her and keeping it in the news. Second, the other candidates will not go after Hillary until someone wins the nomination. That is how it works. Oh, there will be perfunctory statements concerning Hillary from all the candidates, but the ads, strategy and money is all going to be focused on winning the nomination because if one does not win the nomination, one can't advance to the general election. I'm sure all camps think there will be plenty of time to go after Hillary as it becomes clear who is going to win the nomination.

Next, I find it intriguing you are focusing your energies on someone who is receiving 3% of the support in the latest NH poll. Carly does not seem to be a threat to win the nomination. No one expects her to win the nomination, including herself. It was reported last week, that someone close to her campaign acknowledged she would accept the VP slot, if it came to that.

So if no one expects her to win the nomination, why the huffing and puffing about bad ol' Carly?

In review, someone who is a minor player in this whole nominating process is able to motivate you to post emotional comments in Carly threads...interesting. You have an agenda, it's personal and/or part of another campaign in which you are paid to keep Carly enthusiasm down.

Before I forget, exactly who is Hillary going to lose to in the democrat nominating process? Webb at 1% or perhaps it will be Socialist Sanders - yes, he does seem to be a threat (LOL). O'Malley is a twit and very unlikeable. He is going no where. Exactly who do you think is going to come out of no where to challenge Hillary. Elizabeth says she is not going to run, so that leaves Biden and he is not going to beat Hillary. He has the ego to think he can, but I'm sure he is being leaned on not to run.

Carly is doing her job perfectly at the moment. She is the only one focusing on Hillary - has not criticized the other candidates and her reward will be the VP slot on the ticket. It's a perfect fit for the pubs. I will follow your comments and if it as I think it is, I will find a rich history of your anti Carly posts all over this website and I will be there with you reminding all you have a personal/paid agenda. The bottom line is that someone who is far down the totem pole and has no hope to win the nomination attracts someone like you to go after her makes me believe it is personal/paid.

Carly’s fan club really has it in for you. Now you’re a “hater” and an “ex HP employee” if you think she’s the GOPe moderate she ran as in California.

If she cut jobs at HP, just maybe that she could cut the federal workforce down more than a few notches.

Pick the name of any gotcha media talking head and check the .org of their name.
I’ll bet ya Carly has locked up every one.

Not a good bet.

Check out www.carlyfiorina.org.

BTW, there are exactly 30,000 sad faces. I counted them (with a little help from JavaScript).

Carly’s presence in the race should be taken as a personal affront by each and every voter.

Here is a woman with a track record of failure, talking volumes of corporate-speak and posturing as a winner, in hopes she can con the room again (just like she did at HP).

Carly is effective against the other con-artist woman in the race, Hillary, because they’re playing the same game. “It takes one to know one” certainly applies here.
(Hillary will again tank in 2016, just like in 2008, because no one wants to put her in a position where we have to hear her speak).

Now, can I get paid for this political advocacy (which is being provided for free)? It seems easier to hire out as a consultant and get paid, rather than be accused for it and not get paid.

Maybe if I was a con like Carly, I would already have my $20 million severance from HP, and I could spend my time doing something other than pointing out the obvious about dishonest would-be politicians on blog sites.

Not only is it personal with Carly, you are very bitter. So your comments reflect more than just an interest in politics. So I again submit, either you or someone in your family was laid off and/or you are being paid.

Carly's tenure at HP is being reevaluated as I earlier communicated. The WSJ has given her credit for HP's turnaround saying that she is the one that put the process in place. WSJ is not the only outlet reevaluating.

I must say your comments are general (con-artist, record of failure) not specific. Many others disagree.

How can one person at the bottom of the polls get you so upset? That is one of the questions you won't answer. It builds credibility to my belief you are bitter and you or someone in your family was laid off - that you have not denied.

Talk to someone to get all this angst out of your system.

This is a discussion board, and one of the better ones where logical analysis often develops and holds its own among a user base with a higher intelligence.

What I've presented are facts about Carly's record of failure at HP including her acceptance of tens of millions of dollars (in violation of HP policy) after having laid off tens of thousands of lesser-paid workers, and her campaign practices including competing against a fellow Republican using a bizarre attack ad (just youtube "demon sheep" to see it).

On the other hand, alternate comments attempt to drag the discussion down to the personal level, including accusations that my motivations include being an ex-HP employee or someone who is receiving pay for their opinions (backed up with precisely zero evidence).

It's not about being "upset" instead it's about the attempts to deflect from observation and discussion of Carly's true record (just as we shouldn't be mis-directed from Hillary's record), that should concern all who participate here.
