EFFECTIVELY …
|| By FITSNEWS || Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – who is enjoying a bit of a bump in the polls this week – forgot to register the domain name CarlyFiorina.org.
So now someone is cybersquatting on it. Effectively, we might add …
Don’t believe us? Click on the image below …

(Via CarlyFiorina.org)
For those of you keeping score at home, that’s 30,000 frowny faces.
Oh, and another 15,200 jobs were cut by the company in the five months after Fiorina left Hewlett-Packard in February 2005.
It gets worse, too. If you scroll all the way to the end of the frowny faces, this message awaits …
That’s 30,000 people she laid off. People with families. And what does she say she would have done differently?
‘I would have done them all faster.’
—Carly Fiorina
Ouch …
According to PolitiFact, Fiorina’s quote about the layoffs was taken out of context … but still.
Fiorina has said the job losses sustained at Hewlett-Packard during her tenure, which began in 1999, were due to the rupturing of the technology bubble in 2000. Still, she’s received criticism for her decisions at the helm – including the company’s disastrous merger with Compaq in 2002.
She’s also been blasted for getting a $21.4 million severance package upon being fired …
As Fiorina’s star rises in the GOP field, expect the criticism of her corporate record to intensify … as it should.

Squatting? Where can I get in on the action?
Priceless. Her claim for being qualified is her tenure leading technology giants, and she forgot to register the domain name. Ah – her tenure at HP is getting clearer every day. Bu-bye Carly.
You sure like attacking people on this sight so I thought it was time for some payback. My ‘investigators’ have found your home address based on your ip address. 1145 Oak Forest Ln, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
The parking lot of Costco?
Ah … I get it. Since “Farley Costco” is one of your many handles, you are trying to tell us you are Rocky are one and the same.
Not buying it, though.
Ne es verdad.
To be fair, the domain thing is like old news. Still – funny. Also to be fair, if I lived in Redneck beach I’d ask you to shoot me.
You caught me! LMAO!!!!
You are a fucking idiot.That is where the fuck you would live if mommy didn’t let you move in? Fuck off!
It alway gets your panties in a serious wad when people start playing your own game against you, pogo.
Much amusement involved.
Come on over. I’ll grill some ribs and get some beer. You want salad or not?
Not ‘flip’. Just went and saw Ben Carson.A Godly man.Wait until I tell ya about the prayer breakfast that started all this!
Stop trying to post as me Rocky!
Wasn’t me. I was in meetings.
Would love to hear it, right after I finish laughing my ass off on the news Trump is threatening to sue Club for Growth over political ads. Told you he’d start suing people.
Keep fucking with me.I will SHUT IT DOWN!
You got your own problems!
So sure, take your time, is the message people in and around the campaign seem to be sending—but if you end up at yes, you’re going to get hurt. Saint on the sidelines is far different from actual candidate, they want him to realize, when they and everyone else unleash on him, raking through every gaffe and every vote in 36 years in the Senate, digging through his personal life. In the campaign headquarters and in Clinton’s wider orbit, they take care to say how much they like him, how much they respect him, don’t want to say a bad word about him. But “Should a man like Joe Biden run?” is going to be a very different question for them than “Should a man like Joe Biden be president?”

Forgot to register the domain name – that’s so funny. Even Obama’s folks didn’t do that with Healthcare.gov.
God she’s so third string.
How many of those jobs could the 21.4 million they paid her to go away have saved? But those are not important people. Just like the staff people she stiffed after her previous election.
How many jobs did she save by downsizing instead of going under ? A much more pertinent question.
A question I think HP answered by firing her. You don’t fire people who saved you from going under. She screwed up. Thousands lost their jobs. Thousands of shareholders lost money, and they paid her to go away.
Really? I didn’t hear much of that kind of reasoning from the right when it came to the GM and Chrysler bail-outs. Not saying they are the same, but the reasoning of failing to take an action, although it has big downsides, is better than the alternate. The “least-bad” option
I said from the start that GM and Chrysler should have used the bankruptcie laws to regroup and do away with the unions. They would have come back stronger, leaner and more able to compete against their non union competition.
How about the money she made selling computers to Iran, illeagally?
http://ringoffireradio.com/2015/09/as-ceo-of-hp-fiorina-violated-u-s-sanctions-on-iran-and-sold-millions-of-computers-to-them/
She is above all that. Sanctions are for little people. Just like getting fired.

You got your own problems dumb ass!
That was followed by her campaign chair John Podesta, sprinkling a little of his own shade in front of the pro-Clinton Priorities super PAC in New York—it’s already too late for Biden to mount a real challenge, and he’s not going to decide for a few more weeks on top of that.
They’ve stepped up the roll-out of their endorsements and organization. Their operation is just so massive and well put together, they want Biden and anyone considering supporting him to think, there’s just no space left for him.

Ever had an HP product?
They crank out Scheissen. Don’t waste your money.
Their corporate desktops and laptops are good, along with the LaserJet line of printers. Their consumer stuff is crap. I’m typing this on an HP Probook 4430s and it’s one of the best laptops outside of an IBM ThinkPad I’ve ever used.
Iran loves their PCs!
I have a PC HP. Post Carly.
Along with every other major US company they sold shit to Iran through subsidiaries in Europe. We get it Flip-Flop you don’t like Carly…
Did ever CEO running for Prez say shit like this: ypocrisy? Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has been a hawk on Iran – criticizing Obama for his willingness to relax economic sanctions; claiming the sanctions are “unraveling fast” which she terms a “dangerous development,” warning that Europe is rushing to open the Iranian economy, and accusing Iran of cheating on the sanctions.
Yet when she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard (according to today’s Bloomberg News), the company circumvented strict export sanctions on Iran (imposed by Bill Clinton in 1995) by selling hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of products to Iran through a European subsidiary and a Middle Eastern distributor – allowing HP to obtain 41 percent of the Iranian market for printers by 2007. HP’s general manager for the Middle East was quoted as saying, “Iran is a big market for Hewlett-Packard printers.” Moreover, during her tenure at HP, the corporation’s in-house lobbyists pressed Congress to relax economic sanctions, presumably so HP could sell even more to Iran.
…and Prescott Bush helped finance and profit from the Nazi’s.
History is so fun sometimes.
Her severance package isn’t the exception, it’s the norm in the business world. Completely fuck up a company? Throw thousands of families to the wolves? Kick shareholders in the groin? Congratulations, you’re a millionaire!
Its the wall street way. Fuck up and someone will pay you. Sort of like most of these politicians we are talking about. They have never accomplished a thing in their entire life, but we are paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars, life time health care, and lifetime retirement. For what?
Politics is the career of choice for some failed businessmen because they get to sell out to all the other fuck ups they yucked it up with on the golf course. It’s like one giant merry go round of incompetent buffoons rigging the system to carry their dead weight asses on the backs of working society.
If China does anything right, it is that they execute the worst assholes in the business world. We bail their asses out.
Even if capitalism rewarded failure(which it doesn’t), it’s still more moral than theft & redistribution.
You’ve conflated business failure with the failure of capitalism.
In every capitalist system you have failure. It’s a fundamental component of capitalism itself, winners & losers per se. That’s what competition is about.
Granted, it our current system where you have crony capitalism it’s harder to see, with government interfering with markets on a variety of levels- including picking winners & losers, but that doesn’t change what “capitalism” is and is not.
Crony capitalism, also known as fascism, is rampant in our economy today and distorts & ruins quite a bit.
Nah, he has properly recognized that Capitalism punishing failure does not apply to everyone. It never has, because once you become rich enough, the rules don’t apply to you.
And this had nothing to do with government interfering and picking winners and losers. It had to do with rich and powerful people taking money from small shareholders and employees and giving it to other rich and powerful people.
“because once you become rich enough, the rules don’t apply to you.”
What rules do you speak of?
” It had to do with rich and powerful people taking money from small shareholders”
The shareholders volunteered their money, it wasn’t “taken”.
A shareholder invests based on research and then voluntarily buys shares, so you are wrong.
“and employees”
Employees were given jobs and paid money for them. Money was not “taken” from them.
Fiorina and management ran the company horribly and as a result many people working for HP lost their jobs, but none of them had “money taken” from them. They lost income, but they were not stolen from.
HP voluntarily employed them, & they voluntary took the jobs. At any point in time either party could step away from the employment agreement.
You do not understand how capitalism works.
Sure I do. Frequently it works like this. You are a CEO. You stack the Board of Directors with friends and people who owe you favors. You pay them a large amount of money to attend a couple of board meetings a year. They vote to give you a huge salary, perks, bonuses, stock options, an almost unbreakable contract, and a golden parachute In case you screw up so bad they have to get rid of you. Finally they vote to put in a poison pill to be sure that shareholders can’t band together with other people and kick you out.
If all corporations functioned the way you describe no one would invest anything.
*generally speaking* (edited)
Not all, but there are plenty who do. Most shareholders don’t have a clue what happens inside the Corporation. They rely on brokers, who rely on other brokers, who rely on analysts, who are frequently wined and dined, and aren’t that bright to begin with.
I would take exception to “plenty”, but that’s subjective.
Instead I would suggest that if the corporations were operating in a manner in which wealth was being destroyed as routine instead of exception that there would be no investment.
Capitalism in the net helps humanity, it doesn’t hurt it.
Nobody said “Capitalism” hurt humanity. It depends on the the ability of society to separate wealth and political power. Laissez faire Capitalism does in fact harm humanity. Especially when it leads to Plutocracy, as unchecked it will..
“Nobody said “Capitalism” hurt humanity. ”
” Laissez faire Capitalism does in fact harm humanity. ”
So you’re for crony capitalism?
Plutocracy wouldn’t exist without government.
No I am for controlled capitalism, and civilized society would not exist without government. I keep forgetting you are some kind of nut anarchist.
You both are nuts.
Ron Paul (TroubleBaby) v. Terry (Bernie Sanders)
America ‘left’ both of ya a long time ago!
Few people here care what you think, and it’s your own fault.
The ‘ghost’ of GT,erneba,Rogue and various others make my time very pleasurable on on Fits.I feel very welcome.
Just another Christ hater with no moral compass that hides behind a myth of some utopia called ‘goofyville’ aka Ron/Rand Paul.
That is YOU!
“I feel very welcome.”
lol, I can only imagine what your home life may be like.
WONDERFUL!!! On our way to Florida for a few weeks…Phoenix…a little Vegas….try it some time!
Yeah, you spend 24 hours a day here champ…I have no idea when you get a chance for personal time.
Thanks for noticing. A health issue and family ‘things’. I appreciate your concern.
How can anyone not notice? You’re managing trips to Florida, Phoenix and Vegas though.
You know WHAT? Fuck you and FitsNews.Tired of getting my social media and email accounts hacked.
OUT!
lol…you’re a little paranoid champ. I don’t have those kind of skills.
“controlled capitalism”
Crony capitalism. It’s the same. Someone has to “control” it(gov’t), and they get bought off or get to extort money from them.
Yay for fascism.
Get off your knees dipshit
David Koch has zipped up and left the building
Oh please, I can’t stand the Koch’s.
To be more specific it rewards profitability, which in turn rewards failure. Executives can make changes that generate short term profits but bring long term devastation. The short term profits turn into bonuses and the golden parachute is there for when the long term consequences bring out the guillotine.
Capitalism does reward failure, unless you’re looking at it from Carly’s eyes while they are looking at her bank account.
“Executives can make changes that generate short term profits but bring
long term devastation. The short term profits turn into bonuses and the
golden parachute is there for when the long term consequences bring out
the guillotine.”
Yes, I agree with all of that, but on a long timeline you can’t reward failure and be profitable.
All those big banks and mortgage corporations that led to the 2008 mini depression were rewarded for their failures. The executives of those companies that did fail or were bought out to prop up the markets walked away with millions and millions of dollars.
On one hand, the government did bail them out, so the government rewarded failure as well.
On the other hand, those executives got hefty paychecks to do what they did, and probably still would have made out in the end anyways.
“All those big banks and mortgage corporations that led to the 2008 mini depression were rewarded for their failures.”
That was crony capitalism.

That is an excellent, funny, & accurate comic.
Seems FITS is a bit upset that Carly is doing well at the expense for Donald. And for the record, I won’t be voting for her.
Never would have thought this site attack a free-market CEO because they made decisions based on the market. Everything is for sale, I suppose.
She is not being attacked for making decisions based on the market, she is being attacked for making bad decisions based on the market.
She was incompetent as the CEO of HP and thousands of HP employees and shareholders suffered as a result; and she would be incompetent as President of the US and millions of Americans would suffer as a result.
A lot of Republicans only exhibit empathy as a learned trait. For instance, some Republicans have a change of heart on gay issues when they find out their son or daughter is homosexual. It’s the same for relying on welfare in a tough time or being shafted due to poor executive performance. They aren’t able to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, but when they are given the shoes themselves it finally clicks.
Of course, for a lot of them, even that won’t help it click. That’s why GrandTango is on Medicaid and bashes welfare for everyone else. He’s probably got it in his head that he’s the only legit Medicaid recipient, just like the rest of his sad kind.
Business is business
you on cam?
LOL!!!! We have a winner for “Comment Of The Day”!!!!
LMAO.Apparently he is upset about Christian Carson drawing 3500 at little ole Cedarville U. today.
While it is pretty stupid of her people not to grab all possible URL extensions, it’s not really a big deal. People do not usually type in .org in the first place. They do not even really type in URL’s much anyway. Websites drive traffic through search, ads, social media content and emails.
So, besides you talking about it, it’s not really effective.
So you are saying we all need to post that to our facebooks and ask everyone of our friends to share with all their friends, etc, etc, etc.
Yep, something like.
CARLY, CEO ! Business leader! You need to see what she can do for America. Please share this with all your friends and and then go to CarlyFiorina.org.
The video she claims to have seen of the living, aborted fetus, has turned out to be WHAT?
A LIE!!!!!!!
THE heifer can’t produce it, nor has one been found.
Just another LYING MONEY GRUBBING POLITICIAN!!!!!!!!
Let’s don’t leave out her selling Iran computers during a boycott.
On day one, I’ll make two calls. The first to Bibi Netenyahu to tell him I stand with Israel. The second, to Lenovo – to broker the sale of 4 million new laptops and centrafuges to Iran.
Ha Ha! Send in the clowns!
Biden has privately expressed surprise at how poorly Clinton’s handled the questions over her email server. He’s talked at length about how she’ll only divide the country more, people who’ve spoken with him say. Given the opportunity to compare himself to Clinton, his eyes flash and he knocks her down with a grin, at least behind closed doors.

She has a lot of liberal baggage. The media like her now anyway (See John McCain)
Expect FITSNews to run interference for her?
Just left rally for Dr. Ben Carson at Cedarville University.Got to meet his wife out front as he was being interviewed by media hacks.Full house.2,000 PLUS overflow.
Was fantastic. I was able to record a 1:41 clip of his ENTIRE comments of Planned Parenthood.Will get it to you if we can work it out.Powerful.
Fake poster!!! Are you Rocky or pervert Buzz? I am a Trump man all the way! Trump + Halley 2016!
I told Carson’s wife that FitsNews supports Sharia Law.Just tried to help Fits. :)
Fake “flip!!!” LMAO!!!!
Link it to Youtube and give us the address.
I saw Dr. Carson in LexCo a few weeks ago. the media is SCARED to death of him. Most Cushy-latte-sipping, pious little liberals look like ignorant punks compared to him…
Imagine Anderson Cooper or Brian Williams or Andrea Mitchell going after him. It will really expose them for the ignorant, bigoted trash they are. Could you see Gravy-train-riding, spoon-fed cul-d-sac dweller FITS trying to insult Carson?
Carson could single-handedly take down the media.
Give it up Grand Tango. You’re an idiot! You are always wrong and a failed blogger! LMAO!!!!
I thought you said posting a picture of Dr. Carson’s wife was race baiting.
She was kind.I expressed that God would indeed Bless her and Dr.Carson.
I’m sure Allah will bless them too.
Allah hu akbar! Go Bernie! LMAO!!!
Was Mean Jean Schmidt there calling him a coward? Now that would be priceless.
No, but Dr.Carson did say that those of you that defend Planned Parenthood and the infanticide they are performing are DEPRAVED. :)
Good for him. Got to go, the Pope is here now.
Enjoy the pedophile defending socialist that hates capitalism.
As soon as she had finished at St Mary’s convent school in Mullingar, a bright young girl named Aileen shook the dust of Ireland off her shoes and made her way to New York
where before long, she became a successful performer in show business.
Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church, which she had
always attended as a child.
In the confessional Father O’Malley recognized her and began asking her about her work. She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know what that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage. She stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father O’Malley, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and back flips.
Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two elderly ladies. They witnessed Aileen’s acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the other, “Will you just look at the penance Father O’Malley is giving out this night, and me without me panties on.”
Really, because I heard if you took out the students who were required to be there only about 400 people showed up, and the University was calling around yesterday trying to get people to commit to come..
However many it holds, it was FULL. Liar.
oops…it seats 3400…my guess is right at that.
That is not the question, How many were students? If it was full, how far in advance did you get your ticket? Student attendance was required. Did you get your ticket through the Provost office?
I just walked right on in AFTER I stopped outside and watched Carson make fools out of the local press.Several of us stood and watched and I shook Ms.Carson’s hand and spoke with her for a moment.
The invocation was in progress. Appeared to be an adult crowd to me.
Hilter-like questions, why? Christianity bothering a Trump supporter-or his skin color?
Nope, Kasich Supporter. I am confused because the Carson Campaign said the tickets were sold out, but you are saying you just walked in, and my contacts at the University, said they were having a tough time getting a crowd?
Hitler like questions???? What does that mean?
lol…full house…my guess is around 3500 with over flow and seating on floor….great event…I am ‘special’ just walked RIGHT in…
John is a flake and liar anyway. Democrat Party imploded in Ohio and benefited.
‘he’ benefited…
Means this.You are lying and libeling the University.I hope Mr.Bowers and the University sues you:
by Ryan Bower, Assistant Director of Public Relations
September 18, 2015
Retired neurosurgeon and 2016 presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s political rally fromCedarville University will be streamed live on the internet at cedarville.edu/bencarsonlive. The rally begins at 2 p.m. from in the Dixon Ministry Center.
The rally, which is a ticketed event, sold out in less than two hours after the Carson campaign announced the Cedarville University location. Doors for the rally open at 12:30 p.m.
My point exactly. The University said it was a sell out. Carson said it was a sell out and you say you just walked in. Which is it? A sell out our you can just walk in? So either you are lying or the Carson Campaign is lying.
I am ‘special’…???!!!
Shame you are doing this because he is a black conservative and Christian.
I would say I have attended MANY sporting events that were ‘sell outs’ and gotten in.Celtics,
Full house baby! Read it and weep!
Sorry Fits.I didn’t mean to ruin your ‘hit’ piece on Carson tomorrow. LMAO!!!!
STFU, you Bigoted Motherfucker. If Carson was white, you’d be kissing his ass. Go back to the Klan Rally, you racist piece of shit.
You seriously need some anger management classes, flip. Maybe your pastor can help.
RINO Kasich couldn’t get 35 people to walk across the street and watch him babble about ANYTHING! HA HA
Carson took it into his backyard and kicked the progressives ASS!
Campus appeared busy-lots of students walking around.Must not have been mandatory.
Dr. Carson scares the FUCK out of you liberal pieces of shit.
When you begin lying, and peddling your DNC-Fed Bullshit, it speaks volumes about your intimidating level. Eliminating the people you hate – with myths – because you can’t beat them, is the only strategy you know.
Dr. Carson was at Midlands Tech a couple weeks ago, in West Columbia, and thousands showed up – and stayed forever- on a SWELTERING day.
You have VERY LITTLE defense against Carson. You just look smaller and lower attacking him. And you have nothing to run on in your record.
I wouldn’t let that stupid fuck do brain surgery on your gerbil
The Pope is here. The Pope is here. Hurray!!!! Oh, and I heard Trump is threatening to sue his political oppenents if they run ads against him.
The Pope calls a meeting of all the cardinals.
After they have assembled at the meeting hall in the Vatican, the Pope says, “I have good news and also some bad news. The good news is that I just talked to Jesus. He has been resurrected, so our faith in his existence has been justified.”
One of the cardinals stands up and asks, “What’s the bad news?”
The Pope replies, “He was calling from Salt
Lake City.”

Joe Biden isn’t running for president yet, but Hillary Clinton’s already running against him.
Clinton and her aides have their line—the vice president deserves the time and space to decide, they repeat over and over and over—and so far they’ve held off the heavy artillery.
Instead, they’re firing warning shots. Tightly targeted warning shots.
The hints from the campaign come in heavy: Biden would be to Clinton’s right if he ran, more out of touch with the party’s progressive base. Surrogates have sounded off, questioning his chances and his political abilities, wondering if he’d be up to the job. Clinton even leapt in herself, bringing him up out of nowhere as she spoke to a woman in a diner last week in New Hampshire to knock him for how disappointing he’d been when they were working on the bankruptcy bill in the Senate.

it sounds like she turned Lucent into a lending scheme similar to the subprime debacle. No wonder those former employees who were stock holders are so pissed off.
She’s horrible. Bad decisions, worse management and even worse handling of said bad decisions.
Just what we need in a president! Some folks, for will hate on Obama for having basically no experience, but love her for her “corporate background”, paying no mind that her “corporate background” and her own personal history is probably worse than what Obama brought.
Whats the best indicator of future performance? PAST PERFORMANCE. At least with her, you know in advance the shitty track record she brings to the table.

This was news two weeks after Carly entered the race. Ya’ll taking the day off?
If you want more, old news; please know Carly stiffed her old staffers from her failed, California Senate run, for two years. They were finally paid moments before her official announcement for President.
Carly, like Trump, is not presidential material.
Instead of being angry with the former CEO of HP perhaps we should be unhappy with the people who created and fed off of the .com bubble. The .com bubble was bigger than any one company. A company that finds itself in a market bubble has to reduce expenses. When people start selling the company stock which means the company has less capital to use for investment then the company has to let people go. It is a matter of survival for the company. If the company goes under because the market cannot sustain the company payroll then everyone is unemployed.
