Why Carly Failrina will be our next President

[Publius1990]

Most people celebrate birthdays. Not many celebrate conception days or viability days.

And if you're only 20 years and three months from the day you were born, nobody will sell you booze.

All true. And I heard both my kids heartbeats at 10 weeks in the womb. The sounds of beautiful life. I definitely celebrated those days.

 

[TallMan69]

A joke thread. Nice. Just because she won the kid's table doesn't mean she'll have as good a showing at the adult table. Shes got her work cut out for her. Will be interesting to see how she does in next month's debates at the big table. Would be interesting if Warren throws her bonnet in a women's issues forum with Fiorina, Hillary and Warren discussing women's issues.

She does seen to have the "balls" to not kowtow to Trump.

It will be more entertaining than Wrestlemania.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Not this years Wrestlemania it won't. Seth Rolins has a pinfall victory over Roman Reigns and "The Beast" Brock Lesnar and John Cena made America Great again by defeating a Russian. Think before you speak man!

On a serious note Fiorina could be a threat at the "big boys" table which lets remember was picked by polling instead of by anything resembling qualifications (so right out the gate the media failed us) but half those guys were jokes and don't really deserve a seat at the table over Fiorina and don't look like they'll have one come the next debate. I don't think she's got a chance in hell either but still.

As for Warren she said she wasn't running at this point I'm not seeing any reason to think she was lying in that statement.

Ms. Fiorina has shown the depth of her discernment by falling for the deceptive videos of the CMP, and trumpeting their lies in the GOP debate.

She doubled down today, flying in the face of the facts.

“Yes ladies and gentlemen, they are real, and I will issue my charge again: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, anyone who wants to defend Planned Parenthood, watch these tapes,” Fiorina told an audience at the Heritage Action "Take Back America" event, which replied with enormous applause. “It is not actually about being pro-choice or pro-life. We cannot be a nation that funds this kind of barbarity, and that is what it is.”

During Wednesday's debate, Fiorina vividly described watching a videotape that showed "a fully formed fetus, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain." It was a powerful moment for Fiorina but, according to a review of the existing videos by The Washington Post and other media outlets, no video exists showing such a procedure.

Since when have facts mattered to the new GOP?

I think she's hot.

I think she's hot.

She was when she was at HP.

easy

She won't win because she is an idiot and has little that makes her electable:

1)She is strongly anti abortion, which works great with the rednecks and the rest of the angry white old southern people crowd, but will work against her with young people, most women, and independent voters she would need to get elected.

2)Her anti gay stance will likewise paint her as another extreme GOP social redneck, and will deter a lot of people from voting for her.

3)Her constant claim of victimhood, that she was outed at HP for being a woman, makes her look whiney, and few women buy her story.

4)Despite her PR campaign, her tenure at HP was a disaster area, and she doesn't have a leg to stand on. When asked about her massive outsourcing (After she was finished with it, HP stood for Hyderabad Primarily) she said "well, maybe those people could do the job better" (and after this, HP's reputation plummeted, they went from being a well respected company that created innovative, solid products, to a company that couldn't get out of its own way). She cites numbers of revenue, but that was because they bought compaq, meanwhile their profits/revenue stream significantly dropped, and the stock price went into the toilet, and it was orders of magnitude larger than competitors losses due to the tech drop.

So she is putting herself out there as a successful businesswomen, but the reality is she wasn't. Worse, HP was a tech company and she was a sales and marketing type, which means she is good at bullshit but can't do anything else.

5)People realize that business people tend to do lousy as politicians, having worked for corporate America they know that it is very different than being a CEO, and her style as a business leader doesn't work. Worse, she is known as a corporate whore who only cared about stock prices, how will that help get her votes from people concerned that the top 1% are thriving and everyone else is falling behind?

6)There is no substance to her, the 'ideas' she puts out at debates and speeches are basically "I was a business person, so I know what to do', they are slogans, and people are going to realize she doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Oh, I have no idea. I was hoping you could tell me.

She bought Compaq....

Carly Fiorina: Opponents must ‘prove to me’ they watched my non-existent fetus videos

They'll have to prove that they watched a non-existent video? Really hard to do that, but that's the point. Nobody can refute her if they can't find the derp she shoveling.

Prime Rethuglican derp it is too, also.

Makers Of Sting Videos Can't Point To The Scene Fiorina Said She Watched

Those have been the question since Wednesday's debate, when Carly Fiorina graphically described a scene she claimed appeared in those heavily-edited Planned Parenthood "sting" videos.

But pressed to identify which video contains the gruesome scene Fiorina described, neither her campaign nor the anti-abortion group who produced the sting videos have not been able to do so.

Makers Of Sting Videos Can't Point To The Scene Fiorina Said She Watched

I must retract my earlier post, as it isn't factual. Apparently Ms. Fiorina did not fall for deceptive videos, she made up the whole thing.

You miss the point entirely. She doesn't have to be any good at all - only better than the other candidates - not a big ask.

You don't really know what redneck means do you? Ignorant twat.....

Carly Fiorina Is Lying, And Everyone Knows It. Even Fox News.

On Sunday, Fiorina appeared on Chris Wallace’s show on Fox News — yes, the same Fox News that has promoted these sting videos by the Center for Medical Progress, even running a special on the “facts” of Planned Parenthood’s supposed wrongdoing. And yet even Wallace pointed out that Carly Fiorina could not possibly have seen this video she claims she saw because of how it doesn’t exist:

Ex-HP CEO Fiorina used job-creating tax breaks to buy back stock — then fired thousands of workers

Prior to be fired herself, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina used tax incentives from the federal government, intended to increase research and development and employee hiring, to buy back stock before firing thousands of HP workers.

According to The Daily Beast, Fiorina — whose troubled tenure at HP has come under more scrutiny as she moves up in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination — was not the only high-ranking executive to take advantage of a corporate “tax holiday” and work it to her own advantage.

Instead of hiring more workers, HP laid off 14,500 workers due to plummeting share prices following Fiorina’s disastrous decision to purchase Compaq that caused profits to plummet.

Is Dickette a word?

 

[Wrong Element]

Wow, this is one of my most successful threads ever.

More successful than Carly's tenure at HP, that's for sure.

Lying Liar Carly Fiorina Not Happy Everyone Noticed She’s A Lying Liar
http://wonkette.com/594259/lying-liar-carly-fiorina-not-happy-everyone-noticed-shes-a-lying-liar

FACT: Carly Fiorina is a liar-liar-pantsuit-on-fire LIAR. She’s been lying for more than a week about watching a fetus snuff flick that does not exist, as everyone in the known universe has pointed out to her, from the liberal(ish) splainers at Vox to the wingnut mouth-breathers at Fox, and all your moms in between. But is she like, “Oops, ya caught me, my campaign regrets the error that was made by me”? Heavens to Betsy, no! Instead, she’s getting as mad as her Botoxed persona will allow because the mean media has taken note of her lies and will not stop pointing out how she will not stop lying.

Oh Look, Another Planned Parenthood Caught Doing Absolutely Nothing Wrong

An investigation in Missouri found no evidence that Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis clinic mishandled fetal tissue or engaged in unlawful activity, Attorney General Chris Koster’s office said on Monday. […]

“The evidence reviewed by my investigators supports Planned Parenthood’s representation that fetal tissue is handled in accordance with Missouri law,” Koster said in a news release. “We have discovered no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis facility is selling fetal tissue.”

And you know that every investigation thus far conducted throughout the United States o’ Baby Parts has turned up a ginormous pile of fuck-all nothing, because of the whole aforementioned Not A Idiot thing, and also because we have told you that a million times already. You also know everyone’s current favorite “Ah ha! GOTCHA!” video, the one that got Carly Fiorina so moist during the Republican debate inside Zombie Reagan’s butt crack, is Cajun spice-blackened horse dung. Which isn’t stopping Carly from lying about it and then lying about it some more, because she is a liar.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

So many people are shouting that the film footage is not from Planned Parenthood.
She might as well cover her ears, and shout back, " I cannot hear you, and I insist that the lie that I told, is the truth!"

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...arenthood_video_gop_debate_fact_checking.html

The video uses spliced footage from the Grantham Collection, an unsourced image of a stillborn, and a CMP image of a Pennsylvania woman’s stillborn baby, used without her permission.

http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-inside-the-anti-abortion-video-20150828-column.html


Anyone who has studied the CMP videos and transcripts — and we've watched every minute and read every word of the purportedly complete versions posted by CMP — knows that they don't show what CMP says they do. Planned Parenthood's analysis indicates that the deceptive editing goes further than was evident at first viewing. It involves suspicious cuts in the "full footage" and dialogue mistranscribed, possibly deliberately.

This is embarrassing for CMP and its founder, anti-abortion activist David Daleiden, but even more so for the members of Congress and media types who piled on Planned Parenthood based on videos that can't stand up to scrutiny.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...e4f424-63bf-11e5-9757-e49273f05f65_story.html

Most deceptive in the CARLY for America video is use of an image (also used in the videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress) of a fetus born prematurely, not aborted, at 19 weeks of development. The premature birth by a Pennsylvania woman had no connection to Planned Parenthood or to abortion.

One Psycho Bitch

Carly Fiorina is putting flip phone users on notice: You’re going to have to upgrade under a President Fiorina.

“How many of you have a flip phone?” Fiorina recently asked a town hall in South Carolina. A few people in the audience raised their hands, as laughter filled the room.

“It’s okay, but you’re going to have to upgrade soon,” she continued. “You have 18 months to do this.”

[Sean Renaud]

Honestly so long as she couples that plan with Fiorina Phones I'd be happy to back her on that particular plan. There is no good reason why these things shouldn't be done. Perhaps not by her (The President) surely they have something more important to do even if it's just sitting down with the Speaker and taking a shot every time some makes a pun in the next Batman film. But this. . .this is fucking brilliant with a few tweaks.

Jerk Behind Planned Parenthood Videos Accidentally Confirms Carly Fiorina Is Lying

Wow, do we have rotten ostrich egg all over our faces. After foolishly suggesting Carly Fiorina’s Big Lie about seeing video of a still-alive leg-kicking aborted fetus at Planned Parenthood, whose brain is about to be harvested for cold hard cash, could not possibly get any worse for her — on account of how there is no such video and there is no such aborted fetus — we look like a bunch of A Idiots because it just got worse!

Here is pus-sucker slimeball pond scum David Daleiden, talking to “New Day” host Chris Cuomo on CNN. Daleiden is the professional troll behind the Center for Medical Progress, whose life is devoted to making creepy home movies with stock footage of dead babies and lots of blood, ewww so gross, for the unapologetic purpose of making you think Planned Parenthood is committing evil crimes (that it is not committing, as every investigation has shown), and therefore, based on this abundance of zero evidence of wrongdoing, it must be shut down. And even he describes Carly’s infamous leg-kicking aborted fetus at Planned Parenthood scene a tad differently from how she described it, HUH WEIRD. Check it:
