Carly Fiorina channels Dede Scozzafava, wields race/gender card against conservative rival

Grass-roots conservatives, your attention, please: The NRCC and GOP dumped $1 million of your hard-earned money into radical Leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava’s NY-23’s campaign — money that was squandered trashing mainstream conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, who lost the race by less than 3,400 votes.

Now, the GOP elite Senate candidate in California, Carly Fiorina, is running against Democrat Barbara Boxer by…trashing mainstream conservative GOP rival Chuck DeVore.

Fiorina’s strongest argument against DeVore? He’s a white man and she’s not.

Really:

Asked why she is a better candidate than her Republican primary opponent Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Calif.), Fiorina said that a woman stands a better chance of defeating Boxer.

“I have nothing against white men, I am married to one,” Fiorina said at a breakfast at Americans for Tax Reform. “But Barbara Boxer has defeated [them] over and over again.”

I was willing to cut Gov. Palin a lot of slack on endorsing McRINO, but not on this one. Bad, bad, bad.

I’ve been having this same debate with some fellow freepers on another thread about Palin and her backing of RINO’s.

She is bad but I think McCain is worse. McCain-Feingold is whay McCain is so bad.

Carly? Well she fled Lucent as it was imploding from a sales scandal that was criminal. Booking fictional sales.

The HP board insanely hired a dial tone saleswoman and a company that required you be an engineer to sweep the floors. HP did not hire non-engineers up to that point.

She then go in a board room battle with Bill Hewlett’s son and he lost cause she got Deutsche Bank’s votes for supposedly investment banking work which is illegal.

She had supposedly 5 body guards because she was hated so much at HP. She almost wrecked the company and when she was replaced by Mark Hurd, the company once again flourished.

Oh sheesh, Fiorina is merely pointing out that she has a better shot at robbing some of Boxer’s female support than do the 2 boring white men in the race. Her point is valid. She can most effectively go toe to toe with Boxer of the 2 other candidates. Malkin is being as bad as the Dems and turning something into a racial slur that isn’t meant to be in the least. Sorry Michelle, that dog won’t hunt. The mob is losing its mind over Fiorina without really knowing anything about her pro-fiscal conservatism, low taxes, pro life, pro gun, anti-Obamacare positions. She is nothing like Scozzafava and Malkin knows it. She’s being totally dishonest claiming that and I’ve lost all respect for her. Just because Mark Levin, and Chuck Devore, claim Devore’s the only “true conservative” in the race, a b.s. tactic if there ever was one, doesn’t make it so when Fiorina is just as conservative on the core conservative principles as he is.

"There has been a very unfortunate racist tone that has emerged in a lot of the discussion about immigration and that's inexcusable."
~Carly Fiorina

It's not about immigration, Sybil. It's about ILLEGAL immigration.

If she doesn't win this election she'd fit right in at MSNBC.

Nonsense. Fiorina cleared the path for the Compaq merger which made HP a must stronger company and took them from being largely a printer and printing supply company to a leading tech giant esp. in the hardware market. That is why the compay was able to thrive under Hurd, because of the foundation Fiorina built. Fiorina's opponents only focus on the immediate, negative short term impacts of the Compaq merger and ignore the long term positive outcome which is HP being one of the leading tech firms. The merger was a great success for HP and Fiorina is the one who ushered it. All mergers result in layoffs and temporary turmoil because of redudancy. Eggs have to be cracked in mergers to make a better company and that's precisely what Fiorina did. Most experts on business and industry agree when she did for HP was positive and long lasting in the long run.

Because we let it happen.

Most crackers roll over like a Labrador Retriever at the first hint of being called racist and beg for mercy or a tummy rub.

Talk about nonsense.

You spout such rubbish about HP, pre-, during, and post- Fiorina, you ought to be ashamed. HP was never "largely a printer and printing supply company." Learn some facts before you post bilge like this in the future. The company went wild with celebration the day she left; as for experts, if you're talking about the computer trade press, they're notorious for being clueless. They liked Fiorina because she was the first female tech CEO. She was also an unmitigated disaster.

Tom Campbell is not the guy you want to replace her.

The choice is proabortion/gay marriage Campbell, or prolife/NRA Fiorina.

“But Barbara Boxer has defeated [them] over and over again.”

That is what matters.
