So, in essence, your solution to the nation's political woes is to disband the Nation. Not a good idea.
If you're so smart, have you read Liberty and Tyranny? Having read it, do you understand it?
A million HP printers sold to Iran..... yeah, just think about all those print cartridges they gotta buy.
So HP selling printers to Iran will make Babbs a better Senator than Carly? Ain’t that thinking one of the reasons we got nobama and the dem majorities????
So ignore me. Heaven knows I could not care less about dialoging with you.
If you're so smart, have you read Liberty and Tyranny? Having read it, do you understand it?
I have. It is brilliant. Did you understand the big words?
Fiorina: Worst CEO Ever.
I, for one, got a good laugh out of the post.
If the GOP wants DeVore to be the nominee he will be. Unfortunately there are not two separate primary ballots labeled "GOP" and "GOP base".
Chuck DeVore with 20% name recognition, is not going to beat Boxer, not in your wildest imagination.
*Thank* you. That was my intention.
I have found that one's sense of humor is almost always directly proportional to one's ability to think abstractly, grasp the bigger picture, and do something about it.
....and your far to new to be trying to take charge of this site!
Jack Welch.
Enron.
Digital Equipment.
MCI.
General Motors.
Cheers!
Fiorina was McCain's economic advisor. She sure "advised" him well last October, didn't she? He was lost.
She ran HP into the ground, almost killing it. She insisted on merging with Compac Computer when most experts believed it made little sense for HP to merge with a leading competitor for an huge amount of money rather than just out compete it.
During Fiorina's tenure HP had lost roughly 50% of its' share value. She was the first women to be named CEO of a Fortune 20 company so the HP board of directors was hesitant to can her. It tried to shift power away from her which she fought for obvious reasons. Eventually though she was fired and HP stock literally jumped on news of her dismissal.
Don't think for a minute Boxer won't condense Fiorina's history at HP into a one minute commercial about bad decision making because she will. True or not, "Babs" will paint Carly as an inept CEO who in six years almost ran one of the most widely known and respected California companies in the world right into the ground. And there is no way Fiorina will be able to change the public perception.
So the next question becomes, "Why settle for someone with all that baggage?" I live in California and the answer is, "We shouldn't."
BTW, I think one of the main reasons why "we got nobama and the dem majorities" was because McCain was the GOP candidate and many of us had no use for him. Therefore many of us stayed home. I didn't but many did.
Actually La Dita was completely correct in her assessment of the poster.
They are quite new to this forum to be trashing those of us who live in and yes... love our State. The post was an insult to Cali Freepers.
RINO who I doubt will win.
But at least she’ll make Boxer spend money. I pity those who will have Barbabra Boxer commercials on their tv.
Then work like a devil for an alternative to Carly.
Politics is and always has been a best choice between imperfect candidates. Those that “stayed at home” last November have as much responsibility for us ending up with nobama as does Acorn’s loading up fraudulent voters. Funny that shortly after the election all those “stay at homers” quietly quit bragging about it.
Fixed it.
All I care to remember from her days as the head of HP was in a trade magazine she made the comment about the increasing trend of companies to “outsource” their workforce by using foriegn based operations to produce and conduct services for the parent domestic companies...
While laying off those domestic employees...
She basically said that those people getting laid off need to just get used to it and adjust to the changing employment market...
I am sure that her sentiments are still in that camp in these days of economic stress to the American workforce...
Therefore she can go pound sand from here to Christmas as far as I am concerned...
The Republican party needs to drop her from any consideration to hang an “R” after her name...
She can get used to that and adjust...She needs to practice what she preaches...
Well, that is a book that she needs to read more than others...
Simply put and generally speaking, the California GOP isn't much more conservative than the California Democratic Party, particularly in SoCal.
“Unfortunately there are not two separate primary ballots labeled “GOP” and “GOP base”.”
Understood. You dont even need to be a Republican to vote in the Cali GOP primary.
So Carly might win the primary, by in effect getting non-Republicans and non-conservatives to put her over the top in the Republican primary. She will then have zero grassroots base Republicans enthused about her (like McCain) and (like McCain) will get slaughtered in November.
Very predictable.
