If you want to know how loved Carly is in the IT industry just ask anyone that works at HP what they think of her and how she nearly ruined drove our company into the ground!! The only economics she knows is the same ones as McSame...ship high paying American jobs overseas so the CEOs and the rest can get rich. And look who calling the kettle black on Wall Street..the same CEO that was fired and given a $34 million dollar golden parachute for taking our stock from nearly $120 a share to $12.00 in just a short few years.

Fiorina...now there''s a great capitalist leader we should listen to.

Do you really want to trust a controversial executive who was ousted from the highest halls of capitalism?
Who cares what Carly thinks!

Republicans have had the White House for 20 of the last 28 years and everything is Bill Clinton''s fault.
They never take responsibility for anything.

I thought he(John Mc Same) fired her, for her comment, "John Mc Same cannot run a corporation." This is his choice to speak for him? What she said was true, but he was furious she said it on tv. Truth will set us free. She is fighting for that big pay he paid her.I always thought she was talking through her hat, but was willing to let her rant on.

Defense is too late when the touchdown has scored! Remember Fiorina, many folks lost out on HP when you were steering the ship, and that makes you an expert on the economy? Better to trust my little ceramic pig! There is nothing to defend McSame about because he has no understanding or concept of how the economy works. How could he, when all his life he had been living on Cindy''s millions? Between McSame and McPalin, this country can go no-where, but down. Lobbyists will prosper while we all will have to work more for less. Cindy will reap in millions more, and McPalin can buy more lipsticks for her pit bulls.

Obama, the most unqualified, and unworthy person in the history of public office could be the next president, and thanks to the disgusting corrupt liberal media who have hi-jacked this race, and hi-lighted every minor gaffe of McCain while cleaning Barack Obamas dirty diaper day after day. I have never seen a more blatent display of media bias in my life. I wouldnt put it past elements of the Obama camp/media to have been involved in the hacking of Governor Palins e-mail account. I will celebrate the day when the rest of Obamas dirty laundry comes to light. When it does, even his babysitter media surrogates will not be able to save the, EMPTY SUIT.

they''re still letting this corporate talking head have access to the press? anyone research HP''s take on this mouthy wench? keep it up, C.F., you represent the repug rats we all know and can''t stand any longer. vote against the elitist rats! here''s to the all-representing dems, liberals, those who defend our personal freedoms. What did Bush say about ''his people''?? right...rich, white, oil mongers, at a party function, ''ahhhhh, my people....'' as he partied for eight years with mccain.

"He too now believes that the Bush tax cuts shouldn''t be repealed. He too now agrees that it is counterproductive in a faltering economy to raise taxes on the American people, which is what would happen if you repealed the current tax structure. But he also is proposing massive increases in government spending." the charitable thing would be to say Ms Fiorna''s remarks above are not based in fact. The fact of the matter its a deliberate distortion and lie about Obama''s tax plan . The Washington Post has a tax study done by a non partisan group that compares their respective tax plans side by side. Obama supports repealing the Bush tax cuts for Americans making more than 250 grand a yr and targeting the tax breaks to the middle class,in fact his tax cuts are more friendly to the US budget,which in the long term is us the tax payer .

Vote McCain/Palin

They both understand the complex financial instruments (greed, greed and greed) that drive our economy under the Republicans.

And the change that they bring use the solution of Bill Clinton. Sound familar? Bush is now working to solve problems in the Middle East using OB ideas.

So much change and new ideas.

Deregulation McCain can go back to Arizona.

He''s already done enough damage to the economy.

Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn''t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can''t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, "no one knows what to do'''' at the moment.

how reassuring

Catly Fiorina is the George W. Bush of the corporate world -- an abject failure.

''I am convinced that the best thing government can often do to advance the fortunes of the private sector is to stay out of its way.''

-John McCain, 2000

''I''m always for less regulation.''

-John McCain, March, 2008

Today, though, he is trying to quickly re-cast himself as a ''tough regulator'' and will call for the firing of the SEC Chairman (appointed by Bush).

If this wasn''t so sick it would be funny.

Now you know how the attorneys felt who defended OJ, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz (Son of Sam).

" Sara "unfit" palin should be fired for troopergate.
obama 08 for real change!
Posted by mcwhitey4u at 02:07 PM : Sep 18, 2008 "

Well mcwhitey4u; you are one sick puppy. The guy governor Palin fired is a political appointee who serves solely at the choice of the Governor; and she needed no reason at all to fire him; but did so for simply being insubordinate. That''s one thing experienced administrators do; fire employees who don''t obey lawful orders. Palin was elected my the people of Alaska who clearly have more common sense than you exhibit.
As for your Obama 08 real change; if I wanted to live under National Socialism dictated by a Sol Alinski Marxist Communist who wants to have his power backed up with a modern Brownshirt "civilian army"; (financed and armed beyond the level of the entire US military), well I would emigrate to one of the world countries that already "enjoys" that sort of change. I prefer that we change to the sort of Government that our founding fathers prescribed for us in Our Constitution.
Obama is a childish brat with delusions of grandeur. I suggest you read his two books, and then Read "Mein Kamph" so you can see what happened to the last great country that was duped by a messiah for change, and didn''t believe what he told them in HIS book he would for them in the name of change.

Carly says McCain''s energy plan is comprehensive. I''m afraid that it''s just a plan and when actual policy developed, alternative fuels would take a back seat to oil, natural gas and coal. Why won''t McCain talk about his failure to vote any of the eight times the bill to extend the tax credits on alternative fuels has been considered by the senate? McCain talks, but he doesn''t mean what he says. Straight talk -- no, McCain has too many donors and friends who profit from carbon-based fuels.

It was interesting to see Bill O''Reilly tell Sheppard Smith that he has no faith a McCain administration would effectively address this country''s addiction to oil -- very interesting.

Fiorina is the failed ex-CEO of Hewlett-Packard. The led it on a big spending spree buying up other companies in the 90''''s and eventually ran the stock into the ground. The HP board eventually fired her and her lawyers got her a golden parachute of about $20 million.
She really deserved a golden shower!

Why is Mc Same listening to Phil Graham and a failed ex CEO Carly Fiorina, because he has no clue about economics, so why should we even listen to his idiotic rhetoric, are we not in enough trouble without the two liars on the campaign trail. Not just fibs, but out and out lies, and I am John Mc Same and I approve this lie.
