Sen. Barbara Boxe lashes out at Carly Fiorina as 'mean-spirited' face of corporate greed
LA Times ^ | 9/18/2015 | Seema Mehta

Sen. Barbara Boxer lashed out at Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Friday, saying that the woman she defeated in 2010 is a “mean-spirited,” failed business leader who cared more about enriching herself than about working Americans.“Here is a woman who ran against me in the worst year Democrats ever had and we won in a landslide because the people of California didn’t want her to do to the country what she did to Hewlett-Packard,” Boxer said. “She’s the face of income inequality and the face of corporate greed…. She makes Mitt Romney look like a Democrat.” Romney was the GOP presidential nominee in 2012.

Fiorina’s campaign responded with a jab at Boxer. “California has the highest poverty rates in the nation under Barbara Boxer's policies. As president, Carly will challenge the status quo that has crushed Americans under the weight and corruption of this government,” said Fiorina spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores.

Boxer said Fiorina enriched herself as the chief of Hewlett-Packard, flying in private planes and buying a yacht as she oversaw the layoff of 30,000 workers, and sent jobs overseas. The senator pointed out that the value of H-P stock dropped sharply before Fiorina was fired. Fiorina has argued that she made difficult decisions that allowed H-P to survive the technology industry recession. Her track record at H-P became the centerpiece of Boxer’s campaign, which the Democrat won by 10 points. “She was tested in a Republican year running against me, who was considered very vulnerable, and she got slaughtered not because of me but because of her,” Boxer said. “Because of her lack of compassion and even caring about working people.” Read the rest at LA Times...

“Corporate greed” - always heard from none other than those who love GOVERNMENT GREED, which is far worse because it has the element of coercion and force which the voluntary cooperation of free market self interest does not.

Fiorina might be characterized as the face of corporate greed had she actually been any good at it...

Box of rocks demented brain— who cares what that little gremlin says. Not that Carly is all that great either but she’s a little higher up on the species list vs. dumb dumb.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Boxer...

But everyone woman/man who is going to marry someone’s ex, should have a long conversation about the guy/girl before you say I Do....and that is what this is...

Good for Boxer letting everyone know how Snarly Carly works!!!

You’ll never see mans first step on Mars if it will be a conservative foot placing it either.

They go with ‘personal truths’ instead of fact.

LOL, we didn’t need Fia-RINO to make Mitt Romneycare look like a Democrat.

Note to Fia-RINO, you don’t count as an “outsider” when you didn’t become an insider only because you couldn’t win an election like Rubio, Paul and Cruz could.

Once again, Trump is right. Boxer agrees that something is wrong with her face as Carly is the face of income inequality. Lolz

Somebody in drive-by media screwed up. They weren’t supposed to launch these attacks until AFTER Fiorina cut into Trump’s lead.

This should boost Carly’s unfavorable, considering what a sweetheart Boxer is.

Truthfully, I have never seen Boxer when she wasn’t railing against...yes, against something. WTH does she find worthy of support. So, Carly may have warts, but Barbara is a giant wart. Glad to see the back of her head.
