Carly Fiorina - 6 Things You Should Know!

(taken from DSCC)

Carly Fiorina IS A LOSER!!

1. CEO Fail: Carly Fiorina was named among the nation's 20 worst CEOs by Portfolio magazine. No wonder. Under her leadership, Hewlett-Packard's stock fell 60%, and 28,000 employees were fired. She got fired, too, but her $21 million golden parachute made for a soft landing.

2. Iran Dealings? When HP's stock fell, it wasn't for lack of selling products - in Iran. Which happens to be illegal. The San Jose Mercury News reported that in the past 12 years, the company has used a Middle East distributor to sell millions of dollars' worth of merchadise to Iran, "sidestepping a U.S. ban on trade with the country." Fiorina was CEO from 1999-2005.

3. What, Me Vote? Running a company (into the ground) is hard work! A CEO is far too busy to vote! Or so it seems. Fiorina's voting record looks like Swiss cheese. She cast a ballot in only 6 of 14 elections held since 2000. She even skipped the 2000 and 2004 presidential primaries and the 2003 gubernatorial recall election. If she's so disdainful of democracy, what makes her think she deserves to represent California in the Senate?

4. McCain's Pain: Pity Fiorina's poor campaign manager. Fiorina's tendency to go off the reservation ended her short-lived career as a John McCain for President spokeswoman after she said none of the presidential or vice presidential nominees was qualified to run a major American corporation - including her boss, John McCain. Perhaps he votes too often?

5. Primary First: All of this assumes that Fiorina even gets the Republican nomination. That might be assuming too much. Her main competition, State Sen. Chuck DeVore, is the darling of the tea-party set. We've been seeing the fringe element taking over establishment Republicans across the country. Which makes one wonder why Fiorina has been bragging up her support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. We saw how far national party support took Dede Scozzafava in New York's 23rd District.

6. Carly is ruthlessly attacking Senator Barbara Boxer. Practically calling her "That One" by saying "whats her name". These are the usual mean spirited tactics that Republicans are becoming so famous for. Yes, they are still at it! Whats wrong with you Carly? Are you THAT threatened? Can you not just focus on your own political platform? Why cant you just tell the Californians what you can bring to the table and leave your ugly Republican self out of it? I mean come on, is that all you have? Shamefully attack your opponant? Who wants to see that negativity? I certainly do not. What happened to civility and dignity? We (Californians) are so much smarter than you. Step up to our plate and show us your platform. Obviously ugly tactics did not work in our last major election now did it?
