Carly Fiorina's Contempt for Fellow Women

Reader Comments
Back to blog

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. A few off the cuff catty remarks and the liberal media want to make a federal case out of it. Boxer is probably one of the worst Senators currently occupying a seat in the Senate. To see her gone I would nominate and vote for Medusa herself.

So much focus against a female conservative on this catty comment, but when Democratic Jerry Brown calls conservative Meg Whitman a Nazi, calling her advertising the same as what Joseph Goebbels put out for the 3rd Reich, the media ignores it. What a double standard.

Roseville Mom. David of Idaho is more concerned with ideology than ability to get things done.
Fiorina is a classic example of a woman who wants power - and cares little for the well-being of others. As a woman - in a similar age bracket and professional status, I've met them before. They have a love affair with microphones and news clippings, but forget to get the job done for the workers and those they supposedly represent.
Congress has enough empty suits who like to hear themselves talk. Fiorina stands for nothing except herslef. Boxer has a point of view, and has defended it - even when it was not to her political advantage. Boxer has gumption, and cares deeply about this country.
Firoina just decided she needs another spotlight opportunity....Type A's yearn for that type of attention, and Carly is every bit one of those.

Why the petty jealousy, Steihm. Is it that the spare change in her purse is more than your monthly salary? Is it that she "succeeded".
I'm not a huge fan of Fiorna. However, she's definately the lesser of two evils. How could she possibly do worse?
By the way, where were your comments when Boxer ignorantly, blatently disrespected a revered military general? Where is the history of her snide, condescending remarks from her lecturne over the years? I'm sure there is a website/several websites containing a treasure trove of idiot Boxer comments.
It's readily apparent, at least to those not steeped in progressive liberal ideology, that Boxer's a consummate idiot and change is long over due.

I worked in HR during the beginning of Carly's reign. Under Lew Platt (previous CEO), HP had an active diversity program. Carly was not at all interested in continuing it or supporting it. Lew had two young daughters and had been a single parent for a time. He had a passion for changing the workplace for the better. Carly was only interested in Carly. Looking back, I could see how one could get the perception that Carly minimized woman and loved being the only women in the room. We've heard Craig Barrett spoke up for her, but where's the other women on her board or her top managers? Nary a word from them.

She talks a good line, but almost destroyed Hewlett Packard.
Why do we need her management "skills"?
Why do we need California women "buying" elections? Does this mean only the rich and famous get elected? Like Meg Whitman? How many million has she spent on this campaign? Like Arnold did?
Boxer is true to her views - she says what she will do, and does it. No lies or back-pedaling. If you disagree with her, fair enough.
With Fiorina - you hear a lot of corporate double-speak, lots of "management development" sessions platitudes, but really never gets it done. She offends almost everyone, is arrogant, and has an inflated opinion about her own value. She was willing to support a ticket with Sara Palin. Just shows that she could care less about content - she just wants to be a "winner".

At least Boxer has hair,Fiorina single handedly almost destroyed
HP...just what California needs now...a businesswoman who can't
run a business. And what's up with that nose of hers?

She is an incumbent who represents the interest of Israel and as such we need hand her a pink slip and offer her service to the Knesset, during her tenure she voted for the Zionist Holy Wars which have damaged the USA. My only regret is that we wont be able to try all the Zionist operatives for treason.

Barbara Boxer is a dope. The two exchanges between her and two men testifying at a congressional committee meeting demonstrated that. You know the situations - the Military officer that she asked to address her as Senator. She did look like a racist when she could not believe that the African American Chamber of Commerce did not support the same legisltion that other African American organizations did. These are two basics - someone with her experience should have been more respectful to these two men who took their time to testify.
I don't know about her hair, but the rest of her is "so yesterday". Time for her to go.
