Yet, you continually peddle the lie that Obama's tax policy will harm small business. It's a lie, and you damn well know it.

1. Not on here yet; has she embraced the conversation about
birth control, viagra, and costs? What is she even doing in this campaign? Who cares?

3. Not covered. Brokaw did try to pin her down about Phil Gramm's current status with campaign.
She would not answer--even when he said, "The question was..."

Butter would not melt in this failed CEO's (with the $19 million golden parachute) mouth.

6. Sen. Claire McCaskill was on with Fiorina, and did very well as spokesman for Obama.

8. I caved and am listening to McCaskill now. She is a dear. Amazing
to me that Fiorina can lie with such aplomb, especially about how great McLame will be for women, when everything I've read indicates otherwise. And she neared the glass ceiling?

2. Ugh, Carly needs to go down.
I remember reading a little while ago that Dems were going to focus on exposing Carly's HP shenanigans, why haven't they? And why haven't they talked about WHO Phil Gramm is and the damage he has already done to our economy and McCain's policies.

Meet the press isn't on here yet, but I puke at the thought of a Mike Murphy, Andrea Mitchell, and Harold Ford JR roundtable.

20. The exposure of this type needs to happen closer to election
otherwise the voters will forget or they get use to it.

7. Fiorina: People aren't listening to surrogates
Edited on Sun Jul-13-08 09:20 AM by high density
Umm, how about that week of whining about Wes Clark?

I agree with ErinBerin84, this woman needs to go down. If a Dem had kicked off that bullshit that went down over at HP, they would be tarred and feathered by the media.

10. Excellent point, hd! McCain's 'base,' the media pronounced Clark's truth telling a major gaffe.

9. Carly and Brokaw are both passive aggressive low talkers. I had to crank the vollume.
Why do people on on TV to either shout or whisper?

And, are all of Gramp's people trained in this throaty mumble-grumble delivery?

11. Brokaw splits hairs and parses terms without hitting a real vein. Faux journalist.
Find something real to discuss, Tom.

12. This Carly is a smiling viper. She's so brittle. The veneer is about to pop.
Where do the GOP go to find these creepy, white-knuckle women?

13. Please make her the VP
The downfall of Lucent Technologies and HP will be great to discuss and corporate compensation. Just because she's a women doesn't mean she wasn't part of the problem.

18. Very true
Edited on Sun Jul-13-08 11:57 AM by Jake3463
LOL

I guess with her its her decisions forced my father into early retirement so my particular disdain for her can be pointed to things she actually did.

She worked for two succesful companies and both went to hell when she was put in charge of things. She's the female W.

Sad thing is she's marketed as succesful because she made money running companies into the shitter.

19. I am sorry for your Dad, but life is short. I hope he can enjoy his retirement.
Anything they touch turns to shit, absolute shit.

21. You know what really hurts small businesses? Tanking the entire enconomy.
I'm sick and tired of assholes like Fiorina talking down to Americans like we're all complete idiots. She's supporting a man who has no interest in economics but had no problem following Bush's economic choices over the past 8 years. His economic ignorance was better suited for 2000, not for 2008.

22. here in Silicon Valley Carly Fiorina is known as;
"the dumbass who ruined Hewlett-Packard"
and should be ridiculed and scorned by any self-respecting member of the press.
