I received an email from a friend who included the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) latest ‘The RANT’, a DSCC publication. It is an interesting document. The DSCC is apparently worried regarding Carly Fiorina being in the Republican primary for U.S. Senator from California. We all know how abysmal Barbara Boxer is as a Senator. She needs to be on the Red Pills ‘Subverters of Freedom’ list. The DSCC is attacking Fiorina because from the polls I have seen, Boxer is in trouble as to being re-elected. Many are fed up with Boxer. So the DSCC does what they do best, attack and ask those on their mailing list for money.
What is also interesting in ‘The RANT’ is how the DSCC is portraying the TEA Party people as a fringe group rather than patriots that are taking back their country from the socialists and corrupt politicians in Washington. Read the DSCC diatribe and get motivated to oppose Boxer next year!!
From ‘The RANT’ dated 11/04/2009 received via email:
And you thought her kickoff website was bad. “Carlyfornia” is officially in the race, and if she thinks her record will woo voters, she’s in for a rude awakening.
Here are five things you might not know – but should – about Carly Fiorina:
1. CEO Fail: Carly Fiorina was named among the nation’s 20 worst CEOs by Portfolio magazine. No wonder. Under her leadership, Hewlett-Packard’s stock fell 60%, and 28,000 employees were fired. She got fired, too, but her $21 million golden parachute made for a soft landing.
2. Iran Dealings? When HP’s stock fell, it wasn’t for lack of selling products – in Iran. Which happens to be illegal. The San Jose Mercury News reported that in the past 12 years, the company has used a Middle East distributor to sell millions of dollars’ worth of merchadise to Iran, “sidestepping a U.S. ban on trade with the country.” Fiorina was CEO from 1999-2005.
3. What, Me Vote? Running a company (into the ground) is hard work! A CEO is far too busy to vote! Or so it seems. Fiorina’s voting record looks like Swiss cheese. She cast a ballot in only 6 of 14 elections held since 2000. She even skipped the 2000 and 2004 presidential primaries and the 2003 gubernatorial recall election. If she’s so disdainful of democracy, what makes her think she deserves to represent California in the Senate?
4. McCain’s Pain: Pity Fiorina’s poor campaign manager. Fiorina’s tendency to go off the reservation ended her short-lived career as a John McCain for President spokeswoman after she said none of the presidential or vice presidential nominees was qualified to run a major American corporation – including her boss, John McCain. Perhaps he votes too often?
5. Primary First: All of this assumes that Fiorina even gets the Republican nomination. That might be assuming too much. Her main competition, State Sen. Chuck DeVore, is the darling of the tea-party set. We’ve been seeing the fringe element taking over establishment Republicans across the country. Which makes one wonder why Fiorina has been bragging up her support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. We saw how far national party support took Dede Scozzafava in New York’s 23rd District.
{Scozzafava, see how quick they turn on you…lol.}
No doubt: “Carlyfornia” is dreaming if she thinks her record can compete with Sen. Barbara Boxer’s. We guess fantasizing never hurt anyone, though. Dream on, Carly.
P.S.: We can beat Carly Fiorina and other likeminded Republicans – but only if we match them dollar-for-dollar on fundraising. Click here to donate to the DSCC. Preserving our Democratic majority – and our chance for lasting change – depends on it!
