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.
Bill Hewlett – son of co-founder Walter Hewlett:
“I know a little bit about Carly Fiorina, having watched her almost destroy the company my grandfather founded. So, allow me to disillusion you of a few of your stated reasons for supporting her,” Packard wrote.
“Most business commentators consider Fiorina’s tenure at HP to be a disaster,” Packard continued. “The stock price dropped by 50% only to rally 10% on the announcement of her firing. She fired 28,000 people before she herself was fired, departing with the 21 million dollar golden parachute that is financing her campaign.”
Okay, if that doesn’t give you pause, how about this?

I’ll vote for her if I have to in the general. But I won’t “support” her (financially or otherwise) I’ll be bringing a barf bag into the voting booth with me.
BUT... I will NOT be voting for her in the primary! I won’t vote FOR her, I will vote AGAINST Boxer. That’s all I can promise.
