For those that are thinking Fiorina is a good choice to get behind, that she is a good debater, goes hard after hitlery, etc., it's incumbent on all of us to know who she REALLY is:
A few tidbits:
When the police in Baltimore were arrested she said 'we all breathed a sigh of relief' (all over the interwebs)
In 2008, Fiorina supported the Wall Street Bailout known as TARP and even advocated that it was insufficient. (Fox News)
Fiorina supported portions of the Obama stimulus, particularly broadband subsidies. ....(Information Week)
Fiorina called on more government intervention into the housing market. (Fox News)
Fiorina has advocated for increased federal government involvement in schools, mainly with funding, as the solution to America losing jobs overseas unless the nation improves grade-school education and doubles federal spending on basic research. (SF Gate)
In 1989 Fiorina wrote a master’s dissertation on education that concluded with the belief, “I have ended by believing that we will never meet our own expectations of public education unless the federal government is willing to play a consistent, long-term role;” (Flash Report)
Yeah, their good friend still has to put on a show to make suckers out of those who are willing to follow him and pay in the end when he floats an easy victory to the DNC.
LOL!
Ive been on thread after thread asking the same question:
Prior to 4 months ago, name ONE thing that Donald Trump has done that would establish that he has sincerely held conservative beliefs?
The only answer I’ve received from a trump supporter is that i should WATCH THE APPRENTICE (!!!) so i can see how he, um, likes capitalism and stuff.
So the once proud conservative animal known as a FReeper now apparently makes their choice for President on the basis of a reality tv show! And we wonder why we’re f’d...
Climate Change
On April 4, 2015, Fiorina spoke out about Climate change in California and the 2012–15 North American drought which is affecting California, where she ran for a Senate seat in 2010. Controversy began when sources quoted her as saying “This is all about politics and policy, and it is liberal environmentalists who have brought us this tragedy,” and continued, “California is a classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology. It’s a tragedy.”
She criticized Democratic leadership in that state, as well as the White House, saying, “President Obama goes out to California a little over a year ago, calls it a tragedy of global warming and hands out money to a food bank...”
Foreign policy
On April 16, 2015, The Wall Street Journal reported that "Ms. Fiorina called for the U.S. to keep up sanctions against Iran until the country agrees to larger concessions in negotiations to dismantle its nuclear program." Immigration
Fiorina supports a path to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, if they graduate from college or serve in the armed forces.
Economy Fiorina opposed the 2009 federal stimulus, and she has said she would cut the pay of federal workers and base their compensation on performance.
Drug addiction
Fiorina said on May 4, 2015 that drug addiction shouldn’t be criminalized, and cited "decriminalizing drug addiction and drug use" as an example of a successful reform.
Paid Maternity Leave
Fiorina opposes a paid maternity leave requirement by the government and believes that the question should be left up to employers

Note to Carly: women are not the center of OUR universe.
Love,
Real Women [who appreciate real men]
Bump. Carly is off the list.
Spot on. Celebrity worship at its worst.
Yep, that's the threat, you're exactly right.
But IF Trump is what he says he is, he WOULD be acting EXACTLY as he IS acting.
It's still early days, and we're watching the shakeout happen right in front of our eyes. So... we'll see.
Figures
Yeah, I saw that too. Shameful after MK was such a witch.
“Real Women” have been marginalized from politics just as surely as they have from clothing.
Fiorina also seems to be in the dark about who the enemy is.
Hint: It ain’t Donald Trump.
Thank you for that simile, it produced in me a smile.
There is one candidate that is a true believer, not just in Jesus Christ, but also in the law of liberty. There is one candidate that has argued and won in the chambers of the supreme court, that has taken on the republican senate and launched a filibuster demonstrating the spineless unprincipled expediency of the GOP, who has argued passionately for the unborn, health freedom, fiscal responsibility and rational foreign policy. He has done so with gravity instead of celebrity, with rationality and emotional conviction. He is the one that most concerns both the establishment and the liberals, because they know he truly believes his rhetoric and they cannot buy him off. He has my vote. -- Ted Cruz is not Jesus, but I hope that he can lead America to repent of her sins and shame the Pharisaical ruling class into oblivion. Trump is inflicting wounds on the GOPe, for that I am grateful, but he is not George Washington. Ted Cruz is both a statesman and a fighter.
Whoever wins the presidency will be walking in to viper pit where the media, liberals and establishment GOP types will conspire to destroy their influence and their effectiveness. It is likely that congress, the bureaucracy and the courts will also try to eviscerate the man and the office. Only a true believer can be counted on to persevere and to pledge their life, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the face of such a herculean endeavor.
excellent post DaveyB and thanks for allowing me to be tongue in cheek. Cruz is not Jesus Christ, our precious savior, but praise be to God and God willing, Cruz is appointed president of this great nation due to God having mercy on us.
It is incumbent on us to pray for that very leadership that will honor God and usher back in the values that come from Christ alone.
I assume you will post the same thing about Trump?
GREAT, GREAT response!
Not sure I want to. I really don’t even recognize this place any more
ping
Trump’s a lib too. I don’t want him to be president and I don’t want her to be president. I like that Trump is getting huge media attention for issues that are near and dear to conservative hearts. Fiorina is too, but to a lesser extent.
What I don’t want is for conservatives to get behind a candidate and VOTE for them when they are sell outs to our cause. We’ve had enough of that.
Go Cruz.
