Carly Fiorina- Hillary lacks the achievements to be president.



Even though Republican presidential hopefuls have a contest among themselves to settle, they've devoted considerable energy in New Hampshire to going after Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina was vigorous on the subject in her turn on stage in Nashua on Saturday.

"Hillary Clinton must not be president of the United States," she declared.

The former business executive said Clinton lacks the achievements and candor to be president and would damage the nation's potential.

She laced into the bloat of the federal government, as well. "The weight of the government is literally crushing the potential of the people of this nation," she said.

What does she have to do to be qualified, Ms. Fiorina ? Drive one of the oldest and most venerable computer companies nearly into the ground?

5. Yep, HP certainly didn't think so when they got rid of her!

And I recall when I worked for a partner of HP and how that relationship along with an HP product was trashed due to some STUPID decisions that she made that actually helped Steve Jobs and Apple more than it helped HP or any of its partners and customers.

And Californians weren't about to be bought by her words to have her be her senator either! She should just go off some place and hide and relish that she still isn't in the poor house like so many of the rest of us are that she wants to put in worse situations.

About a half dozen ex-employees who previously worked in the Palo Alto, California, headquarters have been exchanging some lively emails in recent weeks to discuss Fiorina's presidential prospects. The contents of the emails were shared with CNN by multiple participants on the condition that they not be named.

"I said when Carly was mentioned as a possible running mate with John McCain, he's a war hero and former POW. I think he's suffered enough already," one person wrote.


"She loves the big stage and has no fear of saying whatever it takes to win the moment," another email said.

8. What achievements is she holding up?

The outsourcing thousands of American jobs?

The layoff of thousands of HP workers?

Maybe its the Billions in HP profits that she diverted to offshore accounts to dodge paying taxes.

I hear that there's a new multivitamin out called "Geritol Republican..."

It's for GOPers who are chronically irony deficient.

12. Fiorina running on the always popular "The only people who have accomplished anything are CEOs" line

It's guaranteed to net her .0001% of the vote.

Seriously, though, even people who despise Ms. Clinton understand her to be a brilliant and accomplished woman. A lawyer, a twice-elected senator, a secretary of state, an active member of boards, charitable organizations, NGOs. Is Fiorina even serious with this nonsense?

Also "the weight [...] is literally crushing potential..." Yeesh.

15. I remember in the 1970s when HP was a great innovator of scientific instrumentation.

Fiorina killed its innovation, drove off its best people, converted HP into a commodity manufacturing company, and drove it into the ditch. If Carly can get the GOP nomination, we will be treated to some spectacular stories of her horrible decision-making at HP. Carly Fiorina must not be president of the United States.

handedly. Her only answer to fixing the bottom line has been to fire thousands of people rather than finding creative ways to use the brainpower that could have been used to grow a company

No, the country cannot afford Carley
