> Just saying... your argument for why you say she is a RINO drips with socialist claptrap

Just saying... you have no idea what you are talking about. I really, really wish people who talk about FioRINO’s disastrous reign at HP would know some facts first.

The people at HP were not union. There was a culture of excellence at HP that FioRINO destroyed.

In 2001, the people at HP took a voluntary pay cut, up to 10% to save HP money. Then, the layoffs started. In the past, before the incompetent FioRINO took command, the layoffs had been handled by frontline managers to determine the worst performers to lay off vs. the best performers to keep. Miss Carly had a better idea, to just cut people regardless of performance. Oh, she’s so smart and innovative! This is not capitalism, it’s stupidity of the highest order.

And this is your candidate. You can HAVE HER. She’s an idiot.

And by the way, there are ways to implement outsourcing without ruining your company. Apple, Dell, Google do it. But they have non-incompetents at the helm. HP wasn’t so lucky.

As for capitalism, I’m more for it than you are in that capitalism rewards the competent and dumps the stupid. When FioRINO was fired from HP, the market responded THAT DAY by HP stock rising 10%, so put that in your socialist pipe and smoke it.

I hear what you are saying. But, this is a question of perspective. Your perspective is that of a disgruntled employee. You know those folks, the ones who can run the company if only all of the incompetents and boobs would just listen.

HP was an excellent company about to disappear into history. It had an entrenched management and an entrenched corporate culture that wasn't consistent with what was needed to survive.

They hired Carly to be the "hatchet" person and she did the job. When it was done, they let her go. This is the way with companies in crisis. Someone is going to be the horses ass.

But, because, you just don't see things that way, you see things as those of someone who has a grievance and a longing for the way things were, you have made it personal and taken that and applied it to someone with all sorts of wild accusations and fury that are perfectly real to you but only represent a small portion of what was really happening.

The old HP family interests are the source of much of the invective you are spewing and they were incensed that HP had outgrown its family ownership. Carly was the lighting rod for this and the Board discarded her once this battle was won.

The ants cannot see what the elephants are upto. They just bitch because lots get stepped on when they fight.

I have seen folks on here call posters on FR.. RINO's.. thats ignorant just as it is ignorant to class Fiorina with Snowe and Collins.

She is not a DeMint class conservative. I have heard her compared to Liddy Dole which I think is apt. She won't be perfect, but much better than Scott Brown or Snowe or Collins.

You have to win what you can. But, some only wish for what cannot be.
