Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Near Launching Presidential Bid
Rambo Tribble writes Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announced on Fox News Sunday that she stood a 'higher than 90 percent' chance of running as a presidential candidate in 2016. Fiorina's tenure at HP was marked by controversy over her leadership, and it is unclear what level of name recognition she enjoys. Her only previous political experience appears to be a failed U.S. Senate seat effort in 2010, as the Republican candidate challenging sitting Democrat Barbara Boxer, in California. Fiorina lost by 10%.
Maybe she can fire Congress and fill their positions with H1Bs. Not like they can do any worse.

She can follow up on her work at HP and merge the Democrat and Republican parties together. That should make things much more efficient, increase shareholder value and offer synergies to enhance international competition.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Another mushy moderate is not what we need. The GOP needs a rock ribbed, conservative bomb thrower. Go Ted Cruz!!!
Not precisely correct from an anatomical standpoint. The rocks in question are superior to the c1 vertebra.

"My plan for America will build on my spectacularly successful tenure atop Hewlett Packard. Therefore, if selected as president by the board members of the U.S. at A I promise to:
1. Sell California to China, because the state never produced anything of value.
2. Merge the supreme court, the FBI, and NASA, because that's the kind of outside the box thinking this country needs.
3. Focus on our core competence: T-shirt manufacturing. We can out-compete third world countries in this area.
4. After my policies have led the country to the top of Fortune 500, I'll ride my golden parachute to Mars.
Thank you!"
The R's are filling up the clown car again. Will THE Donald be next? Or will Sarah Palin try to climb in hatchback before he and Teddy Cruz can lock it? Maybe Jebediah will announce! Then the banksters can masturbate their piles of money over all of them and they will coast to victory!
That is all.
I have a slogan for them:
Fiorina/Palin 2016: Making Hillary the sensible choice.
Any insufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
My prediction is that we're going to have a Republican president elected in 2016, and it'll be Jeb Bush. He's going to run against Hillary Clinton.
Ironically, if that happens, we'll have democrat who voted to invade Iraq running against a Bush who didn't.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
I'd vote for Cruz because he destroys things; specifically the political establishment and aims to realign with the constitution. I want him to be the embodiment of the Fear of God to them!
Nuke and pave the system. And he's the nuke!
Life is not for the lazy.
