Facts about Carly Fiorina

[FBI_Un_Sub]

Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has argued her corporate background shows she has the experience to make important decisions for California -- even though she was fired when she failed to deliver as CEO for Hewlett-Packard. Given California's tattered economy and 12.5-percent unemployment rate, Californians simply can't afford a far-right candidate with a record of sending jobs overseas.

Five facts about Carly Fiorina:

1) Named as one of Conde Nast Portfolio's "20 Worst American CEOs of All Time," she laid off more than 30,000 workers, shipped jobs to China, and was responsible for a 52-percent drop in HP's stock price.

2) Endorsed by Sarah Palin, Fiorina is against a woman's right to choose, wants to repeal health care reform, and supports the extremist Arizona immigration law.

3) She defended HP's practice of shipping jobs offshore by calling it "right-shoring," and said in a 2004 speech that "there is no job that is America's God-given right anymore."

4) She denies that climate change is a serious national issue, referring to it mockingly as "the weather."

5) She expects Californians to turn out for her on Election Day, but she hasn't turned out herself: Since 2000, she voted in just eight out of 23 elections -- skipping the 2000 and 2004 Presidential primaries.

1. "there is no job that is America's God-given right anymore."

That would include a seat in the U.S. Senate, Carly. :eyes:

2. K&R...n/t

3. And as a woman who was once bald herself, she goes after Boxer's "yesterday" hair style...

That to me is the mark of a sociopath. Someone with more heart wouldn't be so quick to harshly criticize others' appearance, with her own affected even more adversely, albeit by cancer.

4. She's really every bit as bad a decision-maker as all that implies.

I've covered her and the after-effects of her decisions in my former life as a tech journalist. Literally every aspect of HP suffered under her care, right down to the subdivisions.
