Fiorina: GOP Leaders ‘Should Go’ if They Don’t Pass Anti-Abortion Bill
time.com ^ | 9/6/15 | Zeke J. Miller

Posted on 09/07/2015 5:23:03 AM PDT by cotton1706

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said Sunday she is disappointed in congressional GOP leadership, arguing that if they don’t move swiftly to pass conservative legislation, they “should go.”

Mentioning Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell by name, Fiorina said at a campaign stop in Bedford, N.H., that the Republican leaders haven’t done enough since the 2014 election.

Fiorina said the Republican-controlled Congress should pass bills to institute a 20-week abortion ban and defund Planned Parenthood, secure the border, and rein in government regulations regardless of whether President Obama threatens to veto the legislation, adding that if they can’t do it, the GOP leadership should step aside.

“I think if they would did those three things I would be satisfied that leadership is producing results,” Fiorina said. “And if they can’t produce results then unfortunately leadership should go.”

“Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell, I know them both, they’re good men,” she said to a gathering of about 30 supporters. “But perhaps they’ve been captured by the status quo.”

Pity that Carly is pro-sodomite.

FINALLY, at least one of them is calling out names. Even though Cruz has been calling them as a group the Washington cartel, he and Trump should also start calling the out by name. Especially Bonhead, since he has to run an election.

Give Carly credit when she does & says what’s right - esp calling out HELLry by name and action.

I remain Trump/Cruz but there’s a spot for Carly in a trump administration. She did what was needed at HP to save the company and could do the same in cutting the thousands of idiot bureaucrats in Fedzilla.

,,,,,,,, hey Carli ,,,,,, stop attacking Trump and or other GOP contenders . Your poor performance is not their fault . You signed that pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee but you choose to attack them at the same time . This makes you look petty and hypocritical ,,,, spend more time attacking the Donkey Party jackasses and less time trying to eat your own species .

Well, gee whiz, if they done all that we wouldn’t need a republican president in 2016!

Kabuki theater. Phony issues. Nothing will be done.

So what. They all knew he was lying and chose to be willfully blind to the deceit. Beltway GOP is all about fool the base kabuki.

Why. It’s a campaign now. There’s nothing to give credit for. It’s all talk from as Cruz said “campaign conservatives” at this point.

Has Carli called out GOP like Ayotte for ducking this issue? Where is she? Hiding under her desk? Ayotte has a record of being anti-PP but now that she is up for reelection is totally MIA. That’s the real problem right there. The GOP has no interest in defunding PP and are just trying to fool the base into thinking they do.

You gotta lighten up, Francis and give credit whenever anyone speaks out on the evil we are facing.

No thanks. Fiorina is a career corportist. As Sugar Ray Leonard said: Bring it, don’t sing it.

I’ve seen enough phony “speaking out” from the beltway GOP to take everything said in this campaign with a grain of salt.

I didn’t really follow her in California but I read she ran as a social liberal. If so, she should have no problem dismembering babies, as it is part of the package when you support “choice”.

So, is she trying to pull a Rubio and expecting us to forget her sordid past?

Do you anticipate that the current GOP front runner will stop attacking the other GOP candidates, and if not, will you post this same critique of the current frontrunner?

Planned Parenthood receives Taxpayer money. Planned Parenthood donates money to political candidates. There is must be something here, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmnnn.

FYI ,,,,, up to this point Trump has only attacked or counter-attacked people who choose to attack him directly . They launch an attack ,,,, he returns fire ,,,, that’s his M.O. .

Challenging the GOP to do anything is like challenging your cat to pick up your mail.

The “twenty week abortion bill” is immoral and unconstitutional.

Both God and the Constitution, the supreme law of our land, require equal protection for every person for their supreme right, the right to live.
