Seen on the dailykos - 'Government can fix anything... and anything it can't fix just means that the government isn't big enough! '

Scary.

Considering her record at HP, I don't think Carly Fiorina is qualified to say who is or isn't capable of running a Fortune 500 Company.

Yep now she is taking the Bush way and not cooperating with the investigation..well way I look at it if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to hide. Wake up America...this woman is a phoney to the max. And all you people in Youngstown wonder why you are in such financial trouble...well keep supporting the republican party...you deserve what you get. Oh and I might add..how can the democrats be tainting it when the board consisted of three republicans and only two democrats???? Explain that one Klondike Barbie. Even a republican strategist said a commission wont work...pretty bad when his own party knows he is wrong. But then...the economy is fundamentally strong right????? lololol Lets see what lies they spew now that they are both together campaigning again. Heck this man knows he is weak on everything so he needs Klondike Barbie to take attention away from the real issues at hand. Wake up.

The former CEO of HP is the one to talk. Lost her position to mismanagement and give severance pay to leave was a joke. Keep you advise because I don't think Obama or Joe will ask you. A loose cannon that will sink any ship. Ask the shareholders of HP.

"...He (Barack) has been a state senator and during his time there when a difficult issue came up, he voted present over 100 times instead of standing up and being accountable to a yes or no vote".

****************************

Ms Fiorina:

You need to get your facts straight. Barack voted 136 times out of 3000 votes on isses.

In the Illinois senate you can vote present for a bill that does not have language that you agree with. A present vote states that you were there to vote.

You should know better. And you should not associate yourself with the lies of McCain and Palin.

It's true. Only stupid people run for government positions. The only knowledge they have is the gift of gab. Look at Obama for an example. He's got a diploma from a fancy university, but he's dumber then a box of rocks. Biden says he's the poorest Senator in the Senate, and for some weird reason he's proud of it. These people are just pathetic.

Which would you rather have? A man who graduated at the very bottom of his class in the Naval collage or a man that was elected to head the Harvard Law Review? A woman who took six years at varios small collages to get a communications degree or a Senator who has served in the Senate for years with oodles of forien policy experiance. The choices are obvious if you want well informed people who can think on thier feet without having to take a nap and those who not only are academicaly superior and have shown confidence and judgement when it comes to presenting real programs that will lead us out of the mess that they intend to continue, re. Bush policies.

Palin is a clone of George Bush. We have been there—done that.

It is time for a change.

OBAMA/BIDEN really cares about us.

Response from MCain spokesman Tucker Bounds:

"We deplore the sexist comments of Carly Fiorina, who clearly was inferring that the only reason that Governor Palin couldn't run a major corporation is because she is a woman".

When reminded that Fiorina is a McCain campaign spokesman, Bounds responded: "oh . . . never mind".

Did you see Hewlett-Packard's track record when Carly Fiorina was CEO?

Apparently she's not capable of running a major corporation either!

Seriously, though, how is Caribou Barbie taking responsibility for the executive decisions she's made?

By denying that she lobbied for earmarks?

By denying that she hired a lobbyist to work on getting her earmarks?

By denying that she fired the Alaska Public Safety Commissioner and then changing the story to firing him for incompetence?

By falsely claiming to have fired a chef?

By falsely claiming to have sold a jet on eBay?

By denying that she supported (and appears to still support) the Bridge to Nowhere and then falsely claiming that she herself killed the project (did she field dress it)?

By just claiming to be for reform and claiming to be a "maverick"?

She was and is THE WRONG CHOICE!!!

Carter, Jacksonville, FL — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:19:12 GMT

What executive decisions have John McCain made? Bush had made plenty of executive decisions as Governor of Texas before he became president. How much good did that do us? So I think the point is moot.

Liberals laughed at Bush when he said he ran a sports team. Said it wasn't relevent. Obama, Biden, and McCain have run exactly nothing in their lives. And please liberals, don't say that Obama ran a successful and expensive campaign. He didn't run day to day operations on how the money was spent. He's just the monkey his managers put up there to read the speaches they wrote for him.

Barack Obama has never made an executive decision in his life.

I think he's running a hell of a campaign and making some pretty damn good decisions.....so well that McCain has to steal every idea that Obama has.

Joyce H, Highalnd Park IL — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:20:07 GMT

Carly Fiorina did not successfully run a major corporation. She was ousted with a $21 million golden parachute, just the big business reforms Palin is vouching to eliminate!
Palin is a Phyllis Schafly in the making. She is an anti-feminist but thrives off of power and money. Palin is a scary hypocrite. She is anti-choice except when it comes to herself and her family.

Suz in KS — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:20:19 GMT

Watch out America! The wheels are coming off the "Straight Talk" Express so wildly you better get out of the way! They just can't even keep the fallacy that somehow Sarah Palin is experienced enough to be VP together any longer. Its painfully obvious that she isn't and more and more people are realizing it! Hey Carly, I work with a guy from Egypt-does that make me qualified to be a middle-east expert? Its makes me more qualified than Sarah Palin is for VP!

The train wreck of a campaign that the McCain folks are running is becoming painful to watch. I just need to look away until the press continues to do its job and vets Palin the way the did Obama...but I can't because every revelation that comes out about her just keeps getting funnier and funnier.

Oh by the way John McCain-I invented the iPhone-so don't try to take credit for THAT!

It really doesn't matter what comes from McCain camp. The low functioning voters are stuck on stupid and will continue to vote for Palin and McCain because they dont want to vote for the black guy. Oh well! we see how far American have come as a nation on November 4th. It appears we are still fighting the civil war all over again.

This is the sign of a great chief executive in my view

Dand1212, Vancouver, Wa. — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:23:11 GMT

Palin really hasn't run her state long enough to show that she knows what she is doing. She retreats to her own house not unlike George Bush did to his estate in Texas while the country's southern city was being drowned. With a degree in communications after six years in five small collages she seems qualified to host a talk show, not run a country or a company.

Art, Cleveland, OH — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:35:42 GMT

Here's what Forbes mag said about Fiorina: "Too many corporations wait too long before firing the boss. Consider Michael Eisner at Disney, Carly Fiorina at HP, Jack Stahl at Revlon and Scott McNealy at Sun. All of these chief executive officers were kept on long past the point when a rational owner of the companies in question would have told them to leave."
And so it is with the antiregulation Rebubbalican heirs of Bush, Bush, Reagan... Too bad we couldn't get them to leave sooner...

Anyone notice how often Fiorina and McCain blink when they are talkin...er...lying?

Fiorina had me in stitches when she claimed none of the candidates could do what she couldn't do either--run a major company--yet her choice is best equipped to lead the country.

Once the media's crush on Palin dies out soon, it will be over for the man who openly admitted only falling in love with his country while spending five years at the Hanoi Hilton.

Carly Fiorina is a joke. Why is it that all these repugnut losers end up in repugnut campaigns? Don't they have REAL JOBS?
Palin, mayor of podunk, govenor of a state with the highest percentages of rape and incest, loaded with hunters, and kids who rarely graduate from high school, let alone, attend college, is a vp candiate???

Just goes to show you, that repugnuts will put anyone, on a ticket, whether qualified or not, and sing their praises! We have truly been dumbed down by these last 7 1/2 years.

MAY GOD HELP US ALL!!!
