Carly Fiorina Will Help John Cornyn Guarantee Republican Defeat in 2012

Posted on | July 12, 2011 | 34 Comments

Democrats must be high-fiving each other over this news:

National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) today announced that businesswoman and civic leader Carly Fiorina will join the organization as a Vice Chair for the 2012 election cycle.
Serving alongside Cornyn and NRSC Vice Chairman U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Fiorina will amplify Senate Republicans’ focus on healing America’s troubled economy, and assist with the NRSC’s crucial fundraising efforts in support of a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.
“I’m pleased to welcome my friend Carly Fiorina to the NRSC team, where her many business and civic achievements will make her an invaluable leader and fundraiser during this critical election cycle,” Senator Cornyn said today. “I look forward to working with Carly to elect strong Republican Senators who will finally put a stop to President Obama’s failed tax-and-spend agenda, and instead promote the economic growth and job creation Americans so badly need.”
Former Chairman and CEO of HP and one of the most recognized business leaders in the world, Carly Fiorina has consistently championed competitiveness, innovation, job creation and economic growth. She has been politically active, serving as Republican Victory Chair supporting John McCain’s presidential run, and most recently challenging four-term California Senator Barbara Boxer in her own first-time political candidacy.
“The Senate sets the legislative agenda for the nation. I am proud to work alongside Chairman Cornyn, Vice Chairman Hatch and all Republican Senators to restore a Republican majority in 2012,” said Fiorina. “Republicans in the Senate will provide job creators the opportunities and environment they need to grow our economy, decentralize power out of Washington, and restore fiscal accountability.”

In 2010, a year when Republicans were winning a nationwide landslide, Carly Fiorina pissed away $21.5 million — including more than $5 million of her own money — and lost to Barbara Boxer by a 10% margin. And this is the loser whom John Cornyn has asked to help lead the committee to elect Republicans to the Senate in 2012. Four words:

NOT ONE RED CENT!

    The up side is that there might be more demon-sheepish type ads. :)

    I must be a damn jinx that’s the only explanation. I register Republican and every damn day they do something just a little more stupid than the day before. Come on Tea Party people where’s that shadow RNC?

    we’re boned.  oh wait the NRSC was going to be a waste of money anyway.

    Truth is stranger than fiction.  And we live in truly strange times.

    D.C. Republicans:  cowardly, arrogant, clueless.  No fiction writer would dare create characters like that because no one would believe they could actually exist. Unfortunately for us, they do, they do.  And the most cowardly, arrogant, and clueless are the ones in charge.

    Carly lost in California!  She would have won in any state that was not controlled by idiots.  So based upon what you have posted just below your picture.  That thing about truth.  I would say you ought to take your own advise and STFU.

  • http://thepagantemple.blogspot.com/ ThePaganTemple

    Carly lost in California because no one could bring themselves to support her. She is not just any old RINO, but a former CEO who ran her company into the ground. Not exactly the kind of person to be trusted to reverse the fortunes of a failing state. No one who knows her likes her, and as you can tell by now she is not wanted here.

    Yet, you say we should STFU regarding our honestly held opinions, and assert the idiots who control the state somehow hold sway over the peoples actions at the voting booth. If I didn’t know better I’d say you must be a Democrat.

    I thought this “don’t give money to RNC/NRSC/NRCC, but only directly to candidates” thing has been in place since 2006. Was it lifted? When?

  • DaveO

    Dammit – where is George Armstrong Custer  and Field Marshal Haig when we NEED them!

    We NEED their clarity of vision to elect Republicans!

    I’m trying to think what’s good about this. Does someone have a positive view?

    I got told that Carly’s got fundraising chops.

    Since I won’t give her money, I can’t quite see it. 

  • http://profiles.google.com/dianna.deeley Dianna Deeley

    An excellent question. I wish I had an answer. California’s Republican party is moribund; the Tea Party is vibrant. Somehow, though, it just doesn’t translate, and no one has yet told me why.

  • http://profiles.google.com/dianna.deeley Dianna Deeley

    I voted for her, and for Meg Whitman. For pity’s sake, what else is a conservative Californian, born here, to do?

    what else is a conservative Californian, born here, to do?

    Well if you don’t have the means to go someplace else, I have always heard that a rub full of a hot soapy bubble bath and a razor is quiet, peaceful, relaxing, and to a point even pleasant.

    You don’t understand how Republicans are viewed and treated here. Many people re-register as Dem or decline to state in order to run for local offices. 

    Even small local papers treated her like dirt when she came around – and they weren’t much better to Meg Whitman, although the ebay thing gave her some protection.

    She also ran a very partisan campaign, but she was before her time in terms of people here coming to grips with the need for reform and cost cutting and becoming more business friendly.

    We really needed her, and Meg Whitman – the state would be on its way to recovery by now. 

    I don’t know what can be done to save the Republican Party in CA – right now people hide rather than admit their affiliation, they are so brow-beaten they don’t know how to stand up. At least Carly stood up. Frankly, the women have more balls than the men.

    We’re trying – but there’s a major effort needed.

  • Rose

    And, yes, the demon sheep ad was terrible – just like Janice Hahn’s ads.

  • JeffS

    That’s still my mantra, McGehee.  But it’s worth repeating.

  • JeffS

    I see your point, but I have to say that the US military doesn’t have a rank of “Field Marshal”.  We use “General of the Army“, which is the equivalent of a Field Marshal.

    Haig was a 4 star general.  He never made General of the Army, although I’m certain that he wanted to.  Very badly.  But the last General of the Army was Omar Bradley, so Haig had to settle for Secretary of State under Reagan, where Haig was as much a putz as he was while serving as a flag officer.

    /pedantic mode, which I slide into easily.  Please return to the discussion at hand.

  • Nospam

    Wrong Haig, by a few generations and the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
    Try Field Marshall Douglas Haig, Murderer of the Somme, man responsible for more English deaths in the Great War than the Germans…

  • Joe

    The only silver lining in all of this is I have never given money to a national committee, only to individual candidates.  So in short, fuck em.  I am giving to candidates I believe in. 

    If the NRSC is on the ledge, I suggest we all start chanting:  “Jump!” 

  • Joe

    Keep the faith brother!  Keep the faith!

    Fiorina lost, but spent mainly her own money to do it.  I haven’t supported NRSC or NRCC in years anyway, and I am sure you wouldn’t be supporting them this cycle even if they fired Cornyn and Fiorina.

    You’ll probably be raising money for Christine O’Donnell again – she’s probably running low on the over $1 million in campaign cash she is currently living off (perfectly legally, you can pay yourself a salary as long as you aren’t drawing a federal paycheck).

    Yup, all nice and legal.  She really fleeced some suckers.  But there’s one born every minute, they say . . .

    Carly Fiorina is a big fat sandal licking kowtowing dhimmi too.  Two weeks after islamic terrorists came to America and killed three thousand innocent people for allah on September 11, 2001, Carly Fiorina gave a big speech filled with ass kissing lies calling islam the greatest civilization. Read that cloying piece of taqiyya here:
    http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/speeches/fiorina/minnesota01.html
    and the rebuttal to her idiotic fiction here:
    http://www.ninevehsoft.com/fiorina.htm
    She is a traitor and a fool. Anyone who allies themselves with her is allying themselves with a friend of the enemy.

    California is doomed, and this election is proof of it. People need to start preparing their signs for when the state starts begging for a bailout here in the next year or two. California should in fact be made one of the major issues of the 2012 campaign as a good sign of what comes from Democrat policies. The average American, and that includes most voters, don’t know how bad things really are there. They need to be made aware of it.

  • http://thepagantemple.blogspot.com/ ThePaganTemple

    If she’d got some support from her party, at least from the state GOP, she might not have had such a hard time.

  • http://thepagantemple.blogspot.com/ ThePaganTemple

    She’s probably not a dhimmi, she’s more than likely just some elitist bitch who thinks she should say things like that in those kinds of situations because she needs to set an example of how all of us who are beneath her need to act, otherwise we might say a few mean things to some good Muslims. What makes it arrogant and elitist is she actually thinks anybody gives a good flying fuck what she says or does.

    “For pity’s sake, what else is a conservative Californian, born here, to do? ”
    You MOVE out of state .  That’s what you do.  

    I lived in Michigan for over ten years and I loved the place.  My wife was born there and never lived out of state until we had to move because of the economy and the job situation.

    So I understand your desire to stay there.  I do.  But at the same time, reasoning like this is why the Republican party is called the party of stupid.  

    Move to Arizona.  It’s in a state of flux and needs the conservative voters.  Just not Phoenix.  It’s a hell hole.

    Al Haig was a pretty damn good field officer.

  • Tennwriter

    I’m reading ‘Bill and Dave’ by Michael S. Malone right now (slowly…but its a good read.)  I have a fair bit of respect for Malone, and although I didn’t dig into it too much….he seemed to think that Fiorina was a problem for HP.

    I’m not happy about having Fiorina anywhere near a substantial lever of power.
