Fiorina staffer: "Liberals have been willing to sacrifice jobs, livelihoods on the name of ideology"

[Miles Archer]

On Wednesday night, Sarah Isgur Flores, Carly Fiorina’s Deputy Campaign Manager, hit back at MSNBC’s Chris Hayes over whether or not climate change was to blame for the California drought.

Hayes seemed shocked that Fiorina would oppose the United States and other nations agreeing to spend trillions of dollars to fight climate change as a “remarkable thing for a Republican, a believer in American exceptionalism to say, that there is this huge pressing challenge, it’s a really big thing that the world has to come together in. And it is not going to happen.”

Flores rejected Hayes’ notion that Republicans who believe in “American exceptionalism” should take the lead on fighting climate change and instead blamed liberal environmentalists for the California drought:

I think her point is that liberals have been willing to sacrifice jobs, people’s livelihoods on the name of ideology rather than actually explaining to people what it would take to make a difference. Liberals don’t explain that. All they do is destroy a lot of jobs in order to say they’re doing something.

1. If she looked in the mirror while saying that, it would shatter.

2. Said the staffer of the woman who fired 30,000 workers . . . .

. . . and "right-shored" many, many more positions.

"Tough Choices" indeed.

Bizarre that a wingding outhouse like Newsbusters ran this one. It'd be such an obvious troll if they were smart enough to get it.

7. You beat me to it, Hugh.

If you want to know what the weaknesses of the Republican candidates are, just listen to how they attack their opponents.

The biggest critics of Bill Clinton's marital infidelity were hypocrites who committed adultery multiple times. That's just a whiff of their hypocrisy.

3. Republicans are rolling up and turning on a Massive Projection Machine for 2016.

Ideology? Have you fucking looked in the GOP mirror, lady?

4. This is classic right-wing projection-based defense.

She needs to SCREAM that liberals are doing this so that her potential voters won't realize that she is the one that has done this, her favored policies DO this, and she will continue to do this if given any power in this country.

5. Conservatives have been willing to sacrifice jobs, livelihoods on the name of greed.

Go whine to somebody that cares, Carly.

[bemildred]

6. I like to sacrifice a job or two on the name of ideology every day or so.

Got to keep in practice. Rip their little hearts out.
