Comments on: She’s Carly Fiorina; “California’s Scozzafava” http://hoguenews.com/?p=5701 Relevant, Contemporary and Uniquely Conservative Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:00:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ddavis http://hoguenews.com/?p=5701#comment-1401 Ddavis Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:07:31 +0000 http://hoguenews.com/?p=5701#comment-1401 Chuck DeVore is a true blue conservative who, I recall, was able to be elected to the Assembly because he had the right stuff to defeat a "Clinton Republican" businesswoman who had more money than he did. The moral of the story: The candidate with the most money will not necessarily win an election.

But she left HP in disgrace, terminated after poor decisions cost the company in terms of revenue, jobs and morale. She was hated at the Roseville HP plant. Employees from top to bottom made no bones about it. Don't you think she's maybe a teensy bit jealous of Meg Whitman and her bid for governor? The last thing this state needs right now is another oversized ego who's a political dilitante. As much as I detest career politicians, I don't like the attitude of, "I'm done with my other career, so what else can I do that will bring me more fame, power, and glory?" Fiorina has not shown that she cares about California or its residents. Her lack of a voting record is evidence of that.

THese are comments from former HP workers, or even current workers, who see her as a fail CEO who wants to use her severence to become a Senator. I am not saying I support, or decline these charges. I am saying she will have to have answers for each issue. Her CEO at HP will become a major issue for her, everyday I have callers and emails from scorned HP employees who state problems with her. She needs to address this issue, especially running in California.

Thanks.

He is a true conservative. Your characterizations and assertions about Carly Fiorina however give me concern as I believe them to be harmful to your stated purpose. For example, you mention that this campaign will, “compel her [Carly] to speak to economical [sic] factors such as adding jobs – when she is known for removing them while CEO.” Any thinking person would recognize that statement as a cheap shot meant to denigrate without a shred of substance. In reality (and objective fairness), her cutting jobs as a CEO may have been exactly what HP needed at the time to survive. Certainly we all recognize that our federal government needs to cut some jobs. Personally, I want a U.S. Senator who is willing to make the tough choices. If one follows your logic in the above quote, one would have to assume that every job is sacrosanct and should not be cut, after all the purpose of government is to add jobs? I believe Chuck DeVore is uniquely qualified to be a U.S. Senator but his campaign must be one of substance. Assertions without support and typical political sideswiping will help him lose support to Fiorina.
