Her rival in the race wished Fiorina well. As any business owner knows, during tough times, you need to lay people off. It doesn't matter if you have 10 employees or 100,000 employess, letting people go is a harsh reality at times. It's funny how Boxer only mentions the 30,000 people who were let go when Carly was CEO (which HP board members approved of), but Boxer doesn't mention the 85,000 jobs that were created during her tenure. The people in that nasty ad who were laid off are all liberals who got paid for their appearance. Go to Carly's website Carlyforca.com and you'll find out the real truth about her work at HP and listenb to all of the wonderful testimonials that former employees say about her. Under Boxer, millions of Californinas have been laid off, and that is why our unemployment rate is second highest in the country. Why aren't people complaining about Boxer, who drove all of the small businesses and jobs out of state? Under Boxer, we have record debt, record unemployment, record taxes, record government regulation, record foreclosures, and record spending. Is this what Californians want? Then vote for Boxer. If you want a fresh perspective, a person who ran a large, international company and created jobs, who will lower taxes, cut spending, limit government regulation, and promote small business growth (and thus jobs), vote for Carly. Boxer has been toxic for California and it will just get worse if she's re-elected.

She bravely fought and beat breast cancer and now she's waging a tremendous campaign to unseat a woman who is mean-spirited and divisive. Fortunately I live in California and have already voted early for Carly. Barbara Boxer has been toxic for California and has helped to drive out small business owners from the state. Boxer is only an advocate for the unions and the illegal immigrants. Carly is for every Californian. GO CARLY!!

As a 17 year old I did my basic training at Parks Air Force Base At Oakland, Durings the 1970's I attended many company schools in LA. Back then Califorina had so much promise. The last decade, what have they done to themselves, and yet they would vote in Boxer, who belittled a general for calling her madam. They would vote for Brown who won't have the backbone to stand up aginst government spending that is ruining your state. You have a chance to improve your state like New Jersey is doing. If you keep on this liberal path we won't be able to bail you out anymore. Carp

She has many conservative ideas which would be good for the country. But ca. is a liberal state and will never vote a conservative in.

Why on earth would one take on the rigors of politics when one has been stricken with that devastating disease? I don't want to misjudge her but I think her action displays an ego trip. At any rate, Ms. Fiorina hurry and get well and do be more sensible and take of yourself.

October 26 2010 at 8:10 PM Report abuse Permalink +9 rate up rate down ReplyAnyone claiming that unions, and unions alone, improved the work place for workers doesn't remember their history correctly. There have been plenty of union businesses that have failed miserably. As a matter of fact, the only business that seems to make money and keep people employed on a regular basis is the movie industry. Which of course, doesn't always use union labor. There are plenty of non-union businesses that are completely successful with employees that are well paid and happy. Granted, the inception of unions brought work place abuses into the light of day, but after that, they became more of a handicap than a help. It's like carrying a sword around after battle. It just gets in the way of everyday life.
October 26 2010 at 8:04 PM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down ReplyIt was a long and hard battle for unions to get any concessions for workers. Companies today would still not care about workers if it were not for OSHA and other organizations to monitor them. Industry does not police itself because the goal is a better bottom line - period.

I need people like you - real americans- who can roll up their shirtsleeves and work for 1.75 a day. it doesn't have all those elitist benefits like vacation pay and days off, but you can sleep in the hay loft and keep all our old clothes that we give you.

She can afford it, but does she think they, the former employees whos lives she crushed to make her bonuses can?
