Wait for it.
Carly Fiorina, it turns out, is a former donor not only to the Democratic Party at large, but to one high profile Democrat in particular: Hillary Clinton. And unlike Donald Trump, who has been quite open about his own donations for business reasons, Fiorina has tried to convey the exact opposite impression, as in her first debate appearance in August, when, looking around at her fellow candidates on the “second tier,” Fiorina went after Trump with this line: I didn’t get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race. Did any of you get a phone call from Bill Clinton? I didn’t. Maybe it’s because I hadn’t given money to the foundation, or donated to his wife’s Senate campaign.

Came here to say this.
Technology PAC’s often split donations to both parties so as to cover their bases.
Also, the article seems to imply that Carly had some kind of input as to where the PAC money was spent.
Was she on the Board of Directors or a voting member?
Lord, this article really did some gymnastics in order to present the pre-defined image they wanted their readers to get.
Definitely some Snarly shills, here.
You can tell many are opening their eyes to what/who Snarly actually is.
The remaining few are obvious shills.
I wonder if Beck has made some deal with the Cheap Labor Express. He’s all in with the RINO agenda, now.
Elevate the discourse use the candidates name or you sound like a child. Stop posting articles that have to twist themselves like a pretzel to get to a point.
Carly is not perfect, far from it but she raises the bar for the rest of the candidates. She has the best articulated positions and if Trump ends up being the nominee he will need to actually have some positions other than “I’m going to be really good at that”.
Cruz who I suspect you support needs to be able to think faster on his feet and stop being the sleepy dwarf. He can watch tape of Carly to learn. Blasting her and ultimately getting her out of the race does nothing to help the R’s win next Nov.
What really disturbed me about Carly in the debate was her trying to grab sympathy for having “buried a child to drug addiction.”
This is a gross deception. The “child” was Lori Fiorino, her step-daughter. The girl lived full-time with her mother after her parents divorce when she was ten. I’m sure Carly did forge a relationship with her step-daughter, but she did NOT raise the girl.
Second, the step-daughter died when she was 34 from alcohol, prescription drug abuse and bulimia after a marriage and divorce. Of course, it was a tragedy, but that was not the impression Carly was creating. The woman did not die from abuse of illegal drugs.
Carly’s claim that she “buried a child to drug addiction” creates the false impression that her own child died from illegal drugs in high school or college. This was a blatant attempt at manipulation with misleading statements. I cannot respect her for taking us for fools.
A more accurate claim would be “I buried my stepchild, my husband Frank’s daughter, to bulimia, alcohol, and prescription drug addiction, when she was in her thirties.”
But that would not have had the effect she wanted. She really showed a lack of respect for both Lori and her bio-mother.
FReeper beaversmom said it even more clearly in another thread. “I believe Fiorina used her adult step-daughter’s death as a political prop. To convey clout on the subject. To garner sympathy. To score political points. To stop the discussion. Who can argue with her after that? Who’s gonna have the balls? SHE buried HER daughter.
“I knew at the time of the debate it was her step-daughter, but I didn’t know her step daughter’s death was from legal drugs. And she didn’t BURY her. She was an ADULT step-daughter. It sounds like the daughter was primarily raised by her biological mom. The step-daughter was married. CF did not bury her. She left out some of this because it wasn’t convenient for her narrative. It wouldn’t have gotten her as many points if she gave the full picture.”

FYI....getting al-Carly out of the way, guarantees a Hellary-loving RINO like her, or ¡Jeb! do NOT win.
You’ve just outed yourself, completely.
Take your RINO/COC/CheapLaborExpress drivel somewhere else.
No doubt there was *compensation* happening, between the two, some how.
Sociopaths are so used to turning on a dime and doing the self centered expediant thing. Trump at least can say he donated to her for business reasons. I carly is such a fraud
Fox is probably floating to Beck that they’ll fire Hannity and give him his slot if he proves his RINO bonafides.
And her net worth is like $56 million?! She was probably just trying to bribe McCain.
Under her name in 2007-2008 Only to McCain
She cried on Fox news Sunday. Just like Hillary. Boehner.
Let's start with a few facts that are not in the article:
As the technology industry's largest fundraising organization and most active supporter of candidates and elected officials on both sides of the aisle, TechNet offers its members unparalleled access to the leading decision-makers... Annually, TechNet hosts over 100 high-level political events including meet-and-greet and fundraising events with U.S. Presidents, Cabinet Members, Congressional Leadership, Governors, and state officials...

TechNet's California state team also hosts a weekly Lobbyist Meeting to discuss, strategize and collaborate on priority legislation...
Let's see who they are giving money to, besides "Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer (later Fiorina’s 2010 Senate opponent), Senate Democratic Leaders Harry Reid and Tom Daschle, and the late Ted Kennedy."
From Carly Fiorina's Political Donations Always Go to Republicans. Sort of. - OpenSecrets.org, by Dave Levinthal, 2009 November 06
... a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of her own campaign contribution history indicates a bulletproof loyalty to her Republican kinfolk. Sort of.
During the past decade, Fiorina and her husband, Frank, have donated $57,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Additionally, they've contributed $6,000 to former President George. W. Bush, $4,600 to 2008 GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and $1,000 to James Cunneen, who in 2000 unsuccessfully ran to represent California's 15th Congressional District.
Fiorina, who served as a close adviser to McCain during his presidential bid, also bundled between $100,000 and $250,000 in campaign cash for him.
Where is gets a little sticky is that Fiorina, ousted in 2005 as Hewlett-Packard's chief executive officer, has contributed $25,000 to Hewlett-Packard's PAC over the years. The Hewlett-Packard PAC, in turn, has consistently donated significant sums of money to Democratic candidates — including $15,000 to Boxer this decade, $5,000 of which came during Fiorina's tenure.
Bottom line? The Hewlett-Packard PAC funneled between 39.1 percent and 45.4 percent of its federal political donations to Democratic candidates during the election cycles in which Fiorina led Hewlett-Packard, CRP's analysis indicates.
In 2000, Fiorina also donated $5,000 to the Technet PAC. That election cycle, Democratic candidates received more than 47 percent of the Technet PAC's more than $133,000 in political contributions.
Wow, such "generosity" to her company's PAC "over the years" and the bipartisan PAC representing interests of the industry where she was a "big honcho," isn't it?
Now that (I hope) we are done with relying on and reposting from the less reliable sources, who don't mind leaving out important facts or just making stuff up, let's check out one more that seems to be becoming this silly political season's "Newt Gingrich on the couch with Nancy Pelosi" - picture of Carly Fiorina on the set of NBC's "Meet the Press" that was held at the CGI in 2014.
She was the only conservative member of the "Meet the Press" panel of five, with then host David Gregory — advocating for smaller government solutions, against minimum wage, "global warming" regulations crushing energy / coal sector, Dodd-Frank that created even bigger TBTF banks while choking the credit and crushing small community banks, "crony capitalism" as a result of big government, etc., etc.
Watch the YouTube video to see for yourselves: The Case for Economic Justice: Meet the Press [at CGI] - 32m:26s
Don't miss her jab at Bill Clinton: "The era of Big Government is over!"
What you fail to see is if you alienate enough supporters of the other candidates with your sophomoric attacks you may end up with enough voters sitting home that your most “true conservative” can’t win. We will need a big tent to win. Calling me names does nothing for your argument.
I haven’t called you a name. I guess I could use your word and call you and your attacks “sophomoric”, but I have no interest in playing your game.
I called you out for the RINO pap you’re pushing.
Again, NO THANKS to Carly. She’s an establishment, Hillary loving RINO hack.
Good day.
I never said you needed to support Carly or Trump or whoever. I said you and the circle jerk anti-carly crew need to tone it down before you alienate a big block of voters. Most Republicans and conservatives will vote for the nominee that “most closely” aligns with their thinking. You don’t need to turn them off from your candidate which is what you seem bent on doing.
Sorry but you are completely disingenuous.
Purposely so?
This nails it in the article,
“And unlike Donald Trump, who has been quite open about his own donations for business reasons, Fiorina has tried to convey the exact opposite impression, as in her first debate appearance in August, when, looking around at her fellow candidates on the “second tier,” Fiorina went after Trump with this line:

-Hello? That statement is false.
