“Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi, she lied about emails, she is still defending Planned Parenthood, and she is still her party’s front-runner,” stated Carly Fiorina at yesterday’s early GOP debate on Fox News Channel.
Fiorina didn’t make the cut to be included in the later nationally televised political debate that showcased the leading Republican contenders.
But her willingness to tackle Clinton’s stubborn support for Planned Parenthood head-on has offered a fresh strategy for the GOP, as it seeks to counter the Democrats’ “war on women” political meme that Clinton is seeking to employ again in the 2016 presidential election cycle.
Last week, Clinton initially said she was “disturbed” by the Center for Medical Progress’ dramatic undercover videos that appear to show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal organs.
Yet only days later, Clinton — the Democrat Party’s leading candidate for president — went on the offensive and attacked three of her GOP presidential opponents who have called on lawmakers to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider.

But Fiorina, the only female Republican candidate, had earlier provided the rest of the GOP presidential field with a striking televised example of how to squelch the “war on women” drumbeat that Clinton is attempting to restart and how to challenge the Democratic front-runner over her continued support of Planned Parenthood.
In a July 21 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Fiorina took aim at the mainstream media’s coverage of Clinton on life issues.
“I would be delighted for once if the media asked Hillary Clinton about the extremism of her position: It is not a life until it leaves the hospital,” Fiorina told Tapper.

Carly did a pretty good smackdown of Hillary all over.
Hype.
She has no problem with the Clintons or the Clinton Foundation.
She is a partner and contributor in fact.
She was very solid.
Can someone please explain the fascination with Fiorina?
Why do we need her?
Cruz, Walker, or Trump would be the go-to guys for that demographic.
Why are we splitting that demographic further?
Is it the female factor? Are we stooping to that now too?
Fiorina is a Big Government Statist! -- Jim Robinson (5/25/2010, 5:21:20 PM)
She’s [Fiorina] an abortionist. I’m dismayed that Sarah lowered herself to endorse her. -- Jim Robinson (5/14/2010, 5:21:20 PM)
Go Jim go! Keep exposing the truth about Carly FioRINO.
She has repeatedly called Clinton a liar regarding Benghazi and the email server and that shows she’s got bigger stones than a lot of the male candidates.
I like her a lot.
She might make a good VP candidate.
She is hyped by the RNC/GOPe media machine.
She is good at what she does.
But she is GOPe and even more. She is establishment, above the partisanship, as exemplified in her major role in the Clinton Global Initiative.
All I saw was that she participated in a panel discussion held by the CGI.
“Cruz, Walker, or Trump would be the go-to guys for that demographic.”
Haven’t you heard, in America everyone is able to run for public office and they all don’t share your view of who the front runners are! FWIT, Fiorina should have been on the first stage and a couple of the has beens there should have been on #2. But then, that’s simply my opinion, others may differ.
She was also part of the McCain team at one point. There’s a credential for ya.
Hillary is a walking disaster, she has no accomplishments after a lifetime living down the hall and hanging around the fringes of political life. She has no charisma. She has nothing on her resume to qualify her for a job doing anything anywhere, and yet no one on the Democratic side will dare to run against her.
No one wants Hillary but no one will run against her. No one dares to say in public what everyone knows, which is that she has no business taking up bandwidth that should rightfully belong to a serious candidate, if the DNC had any serious candidates. Right now, though, they have the thinnest bench I can ever remember. Are there no Democrat governors that want to be president? No Democrat leaders?
And the answer is that 16 years of Clinton and Obama, years of letting the Soros crowd call the shots and suck all the air out of the room has left the party atrophied and infantilized. There isn't an original thought anywhere in that party, and no one who is willing to speak up if it contradicts Obama or the Sorosians
I am also from California and I remember Jim’s posts on her back then.
One of the reasons I have been lukewarm to her is her tepid race in 2010.
She was recruited to run by the RNC, via John Cornyn, back in 2008/9.
After that race she went to live in DC (Virginia suburbs) and be a DC player. She contributed/partnered with a foundation/charity called Vital Voices that was founded by Hillary Clinton in 1997 to advocate for women.
Later she partnered with the Clinton foundation, participating with Bill Clinton in the main panel at the annual meeting in 2014.
She was recruited for 2016 to be a female in the race to dilute support for Palin or Bachman. At the time they didn’t know neither would run.
LOL.. I hear ya..
I’d put her in Commerce or Trade or GSA, not the Oval Orifice..
“All I saw was that she participated in a panel discussion held by the CGI.”
That’s all, huh.
What panel was it?
Who else was on it?
How do people not named Bill Clinton get on it?
As to supporters, that is also answered in the link. I'll use that list in my buying decisions.
I’m not sure what record she’s running on because here stint at HP was not very successful.
I don’t think she’s qualified.
She’s made some poor choices in the past, and I’m not a big fan.
