GOP CANDIDATE: FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
|| By FITSNEWS || Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – the only woman currently seeking the “Republican” presidential nomination – was not impressed by the first stop on presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton‘s “glasnost” tour.
Fiorina called Clinton’s big interview with CNN “stunning … and yet completely unsurprising.”
“Hillary Clinton managed not to answer any substantive questions during that interview,” Fiorina said. “And she wasn’t even asked about her track record as Secretary of State.”
That’s true …
After months of holding the press at bay (literally), Clinton’s first real foray into the marketplace of ideas wasn’t exactly a shining moment for the candidate – or the fourth estate that’s supposed to be covering her.
According to Breitbart’s John Nolte, Clinton’s interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar “came off as something scripted between the left-wing cable news network and the Clinton campaign.”
“Keilar asked some of the right questions but then allowed Hillary to answer them with soundbites, platitudes, and half-truths,” Nolte wrote. “There were no follow ups, no digging into the details, and not a single question Hillary could not have expected, planned for, and rehearsed the answer for.
The whole thing, in Nolte’s opinion, was “a scripted effort at political rehabilitation, not the tense, difficult, precise, unrelenting interview it should have been.”
Fiorina is having none of that …
“If we want to win back the White House in 2016, we need a Republican nominee who won’t be afraid to hold Hillary accountable – who will ask her about Benghazi, who will ask her about her conflicts of interest while her family accepted money from countries with business before her, who will ask her why she thought a gimmicky red reset button would dissuade the ambitions of someone like Vladmir Putin,” Fiorina said.
That’s correct … at least the part about the Benghazi affair and Clinton’s foundation scandals.
Fiorina has been a consistent critic of Clinton ever since she jumped into the presidential race – and we hope she continues to bring the heat.
Clearly the media isn’t going to …

Well Carly is standing on firm ground here, consider she’s leading in the polls for the GOP Primaries and is beating Clinton head to head. I checked RealClear averages, she’s pulling 2% in the Primary battles, so she’ll get to be on the first ever GOP Debate held on C-SPAN, and she’s so low they don’t even conduct head to head polls with her. But carry on Carly. Oh, look over there, another US tech company you can drive into the ground.
As opposed to driving a Foreign Policy into the ground? Or using your position to enrich yourself…er husband?
The only way to fix foreign policy is to pull out of these wastelands and leave the rest of the world the fuck alone. Don’t look to the Republican party to fix foreign policy. Don’t look to the Democrat party either, but they don’t beat the drums like the GOP does.
Obama has already surrendered to China,Russia ISIS,Cuba and Iran.What more do you want?
I agree, except the laughable part about Democrats not wanting war. They literally have created conflicts, ie Arab Spring, Ukraine/Russia, reset button my a$$.
DEMS are so busy beating the race drums, where do they fit beating the war drum into their schedules?
Carly is an impressive person that talks about real issues.A STRONG person of faith. Christianity is the center of her life and politics.
That is what bothers liberals.
And she’s so strong a candidate. Remember how she beat Barbara Boxer in the Senate race? No? Because she got her head handed to her.
Have you seen her polling numbers? Trust me, she’s not bothering ANYBODY.
Flies may not be able to hurt you but they are still quite annoying. Just like flip!
Never heard of this person. That sweet PAC money is bringing them out of the woodwork.
What bothers Liberals is that you people want to run this country by a book of religion. Another idiot wanting to enforce the Christain version of Sharia Law.
Impressive person? Many other Americans think different. Carly is a FAILED LOSER. The only “accomplishments” she’s known for is getting FIRED for being incompetent and losing a US Senate race in 2010 by DOUBLE DIGITS in a good GOP year. You conservatives love your failures and losers it seems. LOL

If in every state there were a more modest uniform shift of 3 points in the 2012 result from the Democratic ticket to the Republican ticket, Republicans would win 305 electoral votes—35 votes more than the 270 needed to lock up the election. Precisely uniform shifts among a diverse 50 states don’t happen, but 270 electoral votes certainly isn’t an impossible dream for the GOP, despite demographic changes — including the growth of the Hispanic electorate — that favor Democrats. Does the Electoral College really feature a “Big Blue Wall”? Not necessarily.

And to do that, you have to flip Florida and Virginia and Colorado – where the percentage of Hispanic voters is 10% or higher. And you’re all screaming about how crappy Mexican Americans are. So the Blue Wall is of your own making.
Keep DREAMING wing nut. Your party are DOA in 2016. ;)
Other Republicans have weighed in on this Democratic advantage. A recent commentary in Red State, a self-described right-of-center website, suggested the problem is even worse than Will said.
“After totaling the electoral votes in all the solid blue states, it
becomes apparent that even a below average Democrat presidential
candidate could begin the race with a whopping 246 advantage,” the
author said. “No wonder President (Barack) Obama was so confident of
victory in 2012 for he knew the game was practically over before it
began.”
University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato said the
hurdle for Republicans doesn’t look any better if you count the
underlying votes by citizens, not just the electoral results.
“Democrats have also won the popular vote in five of the last six
presidential contests,” Sabato said. “The demographic shifts heading to
mid century are all pro-Democratic.”
I would ask Hillary how Rocky’s mother in -law is a NON citizen but was able to enroll in Obamacare? Why would the taxpayers be assisting a NON citizen obtain health insurance in this country? Why can’t she get it in the country she has her citizenship?
I like Rocky-smartest socialist on Fits after Smirks left and apparently joined ISIS. :0
However, HOW does this happen? No wonder Rocky wants open borders and amnesty. Freebie time.
Allah uh akbar! Allah uh akbar!
Then repeal the law or get it ruled Unconstitutional? What? You did? You failed? Too bad!!!!
Health care reform, constitutional and here to stay!
Hypocrite.Freeloader.Why don’t YOU pay for her insurance? Why the taxpayers.
I always wondered why you beat that immigration drum so loud.Rocky’s NON citizen enclave has officially joined the Democrat Party Perpetual Welfare Train.
Was all set to pay for it. Not allowed to. Went to the site, applied, was directed to current policy. DIdn’t have a choice. Tried private insurance, they sent us back to the .gov site. Sorry it doesn’t it work for you. Maybe you should contact your Congressman. Change law or repeal it? Oh right, you tried that 99 times already.
Flip can sit and spin all he wants but the numbers do not lie, Obama cut the uninsured rate!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!! The GOVERNMENT made me do it.
Golly, it sure has you stirred up. Given my annual tax bill, I’m not free loading off anyone. It’s the opposite, there are several folks that are in part getting subsidies based on my taxes. And if they’re insured, getting preventative medicine, good for them.
I’m not confident in Hillary either. She lacks experience running a multi-billion dollar corporation for a short time before being ousted. How do we know she can run this country into the ground? We need someone with experience in failure. We need Fiorina.
An Hillary’sHillary’s experience as SOS was a sucess?
Carly is a PROVEN FAILURE. Getting FIRED for being an INCOMPETENT CEO of a large company and losing your only political race by DOUBLE DIGITS in a good GOP yea are FAILURES. Carly WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT. Carly is jealous that Hillary will be our first woman president and there is NOTHING she can do about it. Ask the 30,000 Americans Carly FIRED what they think of her.
“Guest4455” try some of that fertilizer in your garden where it might do some good. The facts are: the average CEO in Silicon Valley lasts 4 yrs — Fiorina was head of HP for 6 yrs. Fiorina was hired from Lucent specifically to make HP competitive as they’d evolved into 80+ companies w/I a company each with separate research and marketing divisions. The necessary downsizing was done over 43 countries although the American unions would have you believe they were all jobs in the US. Californians squawk the most, but their anger should be directed at their crazy state government whose tax structure and over-regulations are driving thousands of companies away or out of business. Many, like HP, moved to Texas. Also, Fiorina’s numbers were outstanding while at HP: increasing market share, revenue, profits, innovation and ultimately employment… After the company had gotten itself in a good financial position. And, finally, the direct reason why Fiorina was fired was because someone was breaking the rule of boardroom confidentiality by talking to the press, and at the time it was thought to be Carly. It turns out, though, that the leaks continued after her departure, and the same board members who voted for her ouster are now admit their error. The current HP chair, for example, backs Fiorina up.
But, hey, given how Carly makes Hillary look like a dim-wit, I can understand why the Dems have sent out their hatchet men in force. Too bad they don’t have any facts to back them up, or Clinton accomplishments to point to.
Fiorina got FIRED for being a dismal CEO. Ask the 30,000 Americans she FIRED what they think of this proven failed REJECT they call Carly Fiorina. The only “accomplishments” Carly is known for is driving a big company into the ground, getting fired from HP, laying off 30,000 hard American workers, and LOSING her only political run in 2010 by DOUBLE DIGITS. Not suprising that you right wing extremists defend LOSERS.
All that said, some might put a pinkie on the scale for the GOP at this very early moment. Why? Primarily because American politics is cyclical, and our recurrent history makes an argument for turnover at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Running for a third consecutive presidential party term probably does exact a penalty on the incumbent’s party. Dan McLaughlin, writing at the conservative website The Federalist, looked at the 11 elections conducted since the end of the Civil War when there was no incumbent on the ballot and an incumbent had been reelected in the previous election (which is what we’ll have in 2016). He found that the incumbent party lost an average of 6.9 percent of the two-party vote in the next election. So, subtract 6.9 percent from Obama’s 2012 share of 52 percent, and the Republican wins the presidency quite easily—

I take great joy in knowing this FAILED LOSER Carly Fiorina WILL never become president nor will she win the GOP nomination. Carly is angry because she lacks accomplishments.
http://politicalcorrection.org/factcheck/200908200003
So write a Carly campaigner…..who would do well to realize Carly stiffed her workers, too.
It’s nice to see a woman has a seat in the clown car.

The Onion has more hard facts than Brietbart. I don’t trust anything those Brietbart sites post. They are more biased than FOX.
That doesn’t mean I don’t believe CNN to be biased; they are.
Indeed. They are all biased. Every single media outlet is a whore for selling ads–nothing else.
At least at CNN you can get your lies from the terrorists and America’s enemies and share them here.
At least at FOX you can get RNC talking points drilled directly into your brain so you don’t have to be bothered thinking for yourself.
That’s the appeal of FoxNews. “You drool, We decide, You Regurgitate”
Well at least Carly looks like she is capable of living to 2020. This whole Hillary is another smokescreen for her to take all the beatings so O’Malley will be fresh and funded. Same as she did for Obama. If that old cow can’t do anything else for the Party, she can make all the slings and arrows come her way! I think that is why she is flaunting all of her scandals.
GOP is sooooo easily played. When they aren’t playing themselves. lol
A quick check of the polls tells me that no one is impressed with Carly either.
BenghaziBenghaziBenghaziBenghaziBenghazi
If you keep repeating it you’ll make it a scandle Will despite the fucking thousands of hours wasted on it so far.
As opposed to the thousands of hours spent trying to cover up the truth behind it?
I’m not familiar with the whole Bengahzi thing. What happened?
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/08/09/the-benghazi-brief-the-entire-story-of-operation-zero-footprint-in-libya-and-why-further-committee-hearings-are-futile/
Is anyone, save for her delusional dyed in the wool liberal demographic, impressed with Hillary Clinton?
That’s a shocker. An extreme partisan with a failed record like
Carly is not impressed with an interview given by our first soon to be first woman president who is in the opposing party.
Why does Carly keep putting her feet in the pool? I don’t recall HP making a huge turn around under her tenure.
is Fiorina a billionaire or just a hundred-millionaire? and she can’t find anything more meaningful to do with her life than play hillary blocker for the GOP?
