So a former CEO is running for the Senate. And the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can give unlimited amounts of money to candidates. She’s concerned about big spending and I’m concerned about big taking. From the likes of her. Sorry, I don’t want this woman making decisions in government affect my life. She is evil.

During the 8 years of George Bush and a Republican controlled Congress our national debt went from $5 trillion to $10 trillion. Yet, Republicans still expect us to believe that they are a party that is fiscally conservative and they can control spending. Yesterday, the Senate passed PAYGO and not ONE Republican Senator voted for it. So Republicans, why I should believe you.

I hope she wins.

(I think it’s –effecting– not “affecting”)

It would be nice to have someone in DC that actually worked in the dreaded private sector. Carly also presents a problem for the Democrats as they have trouble with their attacks when the candidate is a woman….

AMEN! Walter Williams estimates that 70% of all federal programs lack any direct constitutional authority. I would set up something like the BRAC (which closed the military bases). The Government Agency Evaluation Commission (or whatever you want to call it) would place agencies on the chopping block in groups and Congress would vote up or down on the group. My early nominees are: Education, Energy, EEOC, HUD, Nuclear Regulatory, NEA, NASA, NIH. But there must be dozens of others . . .

“What programs are you going to cut?” … The Department of Education, YES!, the NEA, YES! HUD? YES! “Will you demand the Fed be audited?” YES!

Repeal/close, one by one all agencies created after 1913 when income tax was enacted and Senators became voted into office instead of appointed. That’s when the pandering and the explosion of government occurred.

Fiornia says all the “right things” we’ve heard for 2 decades-blue ribbon commissions, end fraud and waste, bipartisanship. But we’ve heard all this before. Heck, Obama often says much the same. None of this MCcain type stuff has improved things even a bit. She would be preferable to Boxer, but only marignally.Suspect there wouldn’t be any real change if any empty suit like Fiorina won.

Are you going to stop the wars, which are costing us billions?

What programs are you going to cut? What departments can be eliminated? The Department of Education, the NEA, HUD? What are you going to cut? Will you demand the Fed be audited? Where were you when in September 2008 your candidate, John Mccain, agreed to Stimulus 1?

I made the mistake of buying HP products while Fiorina ran the company. ANd it’s hard to take someone seriously when their big idea to save money is to send customer service 2 continents away.

This all sounds good. However, we have heard it before and the results remain the same. It will likely take a bankruptcy of CA to solve the problem, including a haircut for public workers and retirees. When things get this far out of hand, conventional “living within our means” rhetoric does not give justice to the problem.

I’ve recently wondered just how much negative connotation the terms republican and conservative have but after visiting Carly’s website it seems pretty clear.
Not one time on any page does either word show up.

Things that make you go hmmm…

Hope you go after Boxer, the same way you went after breast CA. Best of luck.
