Carly Fiorina…? I hope she does a better job of helping McCain than she did as CEO for HP.

That said, she does have a flair for marketing.

Great – another Big Business RINO. I can’t stand Rockefeller Republicans, they have no connection to the everyday world of the middle class. She and Juan McCain will strategize on how they can get amnesty implemented along with a big boost in H1B visas.

McAARPandez hasn’t a prayer in November.

This is looking great. Dem House, Dem Senate, Dem WH.

Thank you Jorge Bush.

Carly Fiorina was one of the worst CEOs in the history of corporate America – her one true leadership attribute is that her appearance vaguely resembles Carmella Soprano. She did her best to run HP into the ground; we’ll see if she can do the same for Juan McVain.

Suggestion to McPain: DO NOT let her ANYWHERE near a file server.

“Carly Fiorina”

Isn’t that how Governor Arnold pronounces his state’s name?

Carly Fiorina has the ability to take a functioning organization and totally destroy it…doing such a thorough job that her successor will not have an easy time undoing the damage.

Imagine what she can do with a weak organization!!

HINT TO MCCAIN: If you want to win, give Carly’s services to the Democrat nominee. If they’ll put her in a strategic planning position, offer to pay for it.

Man she is on the McCain campaign? Please no.

My dad worked for HP for 25 years (pre Agilent spin off). I know plenty of people that strongly dislike her.

During the general business downturn in 2001, Fiorina opted for 7,000 layoffs.

This fact should be fun. So she “worked for profit” and destroyed the pensions of a ton of people with her “flair” for not being qualified for the position at HP and being selected only for her gender. No skin off her nose – she got her severance in cash, mainly, and not in the stock she managed to slash and burn. Doesn’t McVain have a problem with those layoffs? No, since he didn’t think those 7,000 Fiorina laid off needed tax decreases either.

And, if McCain hasn’t courted enough elitist libs in MSM,

“Throughout her career at HP, Fiorina was a very visible CEO. Her business travel included interactions with Hollywood entertainers and politicians.

ROFL!!!!

Nothing wrong with more legal immigration folks. Legal does need some new rules but legal immigration is generally a good thing for all of us.

HIB visas, however, are indentured servitude. The rules of immigration need to be focussed on bringing in qualified workers we need to keep our economy growing and their spouse (just 1 please) and children. No to Mom, no to Dad, no to cousin etc. Preference should always be given to countries with similar economic and political systems. No to communist refugees. No to most middle-easterners. No to many Africans. Stay home and foment political unrest there please.

I think the question that led to the choice of Carly Fiorina in this context was probably “who’s available on short notice?”
