Carly Fiorina on Immigration: Pass the DREAM Act. For other undocumented immigrants, a direct path to citizenship is unfair. While running for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, Fiorina said she supports the DREAM Act, which would give legal status to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

Carly Fiorina on Climate change: It is real and manmade. But government has limited ability to address it. Speaking in New Hampshire in February, Fiorina said there is scientific consensus that climate change is real and caused by humans.

Carly Fiorina on Education: Supports Common Core – Set national standards but give local districts maximum control. No Child Left Behind was positive. In a position paper while running for the U.S. Senate in California, Fiorina

All the political preening at such an early date has me somewhat nauseated. We have become a nation of hurry-up and wait. We've hurried into the Presidential campaign 6 months too early which may set a precedent for other events. Halloween preparations in January, Christmas preparations in March, etc. I suspect that the political deck will be reshuffled in 6 months and look quite different than today. Only one caution: Don't look for perfection. None of them, with the exception of Rand Paul, are even close.
Well, that tells me something, too...
Good luck to us all...
It was my profession for a while.
And it looks like the next one may be history 'rhyming' again.
Good luck finding a candidate you can vote for.
And same to me.
If only they had the same courtesy toward us.
Liberty runs strong in my family.
What she does not accept is that one can not be a good Muslim and subordinate sharia to the Constitution.
Right now, I would indeed look askance at a Muslim being elected President, because his/her term would be about nothing but that, but I don't think that it is theoretically possible for this to occur and the Pres to be a good leader of the US. I am willing to wait a few decades until the Muslim religion is no longer such a spectacular example of dissonance, however.

Fiorina goes further, stating she wants a zero base justification for agency existence, based on the roles for government laid out in the Constitution. Any agency that can't point to a definitive Constitutional reason for its existence gets eliminated. Rand Paul is a fan of zero base budgeting, but I haven't heard him push for outright elimination of agencies, like Fiorina.
Wheah mah puppy chow?
- Admitting we have 20 million people here who are technically not supposed to be here but we've looked the other way for decades.
- Admitting human activities accelerate climate change.
- National education standards
The most "socialist" item is the national education standards. That grows out having gov't-run schools. If we're not going privatize them, we should have standards. Part of the value of a diploma is people knowing what it means-- that the student met specific requirements.
The climate change one is not socialist or any ideology; it's just a fact. That means it is a claim can be proven or disproven. It doesn't have an ideology. Not liking the final consequences does not change reality.
The immigration one is a mess because we've been just looking the other way, ignoring our laws, for decades, and now we expect someone to come up with a program to fix it quickly.
They're all issues where we're in a tough spot that we'd rather not be in, and people want to react as if they're political ideology could make them go away. Unfortunately it will take hard work. Like so many problems, we'll wait until they become crises to deal with them. Until then they lend themselves perfectly to politicking and not getting stuff done.
As to global warming, er, uh, climate change, er, uh, man-caused climate change, you obviously look the other way at the fact that government promotes itself by funding and therefore rewarding "science" that raises alarm and promotes massive government intervention and thus ever larger government. Science isn't the problem; human nature is the problem, which is why we have a Constitution designed to limit its harmful effects.
As to Common Core, I refer you to this, which speaks for itself:
http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/02/6-s...
Those common core examples remind this old guy of a saying: "Walking around the mountain to take a leak next door". Only bureaucrats and academics could love loading down simple grade school mathematics with pompous procedure to the point of confusing the issue to the most casual observer. Too many young kids don't like math to begin with, now this crap can only make more turn away from the subject. It's a good thing there are computers and calculators to do math for them because this cc approach is a cumbersome bore.
probably is due to the sad fact that she and her
husband buried a daughter due to drug ad-
diction.
Once she started to smoke weed, she did not want to do anything or go anywhere.
Of course, I lost all interest in her and moved on. Other fish in the sea . .
.The last thing I heard about her word-of-mouth? She had quit college and been raped by a black drug dealer.
reduce harm" be, pray tell.
As the father of an addict, I would prefer execution of anyone who sells illegal drugs. Then kick them in a hole and be done with them. Period. That doesn't mean we have vigilante mobs running around killing people. It means the risks of selling are too high, so the problem dries up.
Addicts are a very small proportion of users anyway. And even they (and enablers) do not deserve punishment, which is the only thing the State knows how to do.
Because "legalization" sounds to some people like we are promoting drugs
“Decriminalization” – despite the many syllables – goes down easier. And having “de-crime” in the word more strongly insinuates that people have been unjustly imprisoned.
We need to do a focus group, LOL.
Treating drug use like alcohol consumption may not be the best way to undo the war on drugs disaster. Licensing users, allowing them to purchase THC capsules and liquids from pharmacies without a prescription, just like cold medicine is one approach, and I'm sure there are others.
What amazes me is that a medical community obsessed with pulmonary health has remained silent with respect to smoking marijuana. The tars in marijuana smoke are as harmful to the lungs as tobacco smoke, and perhaps more carcinogenic. Maybe a vapor delivery system for THC absent the harmful tars would be less potentially harmful. More research on safer delivery systems would be helpful.
I suppose it depends on how you define "serious".
ly so good as I had hoped. But Cruz may be ad-
ceptable to vote for this time.
Want to know why she lost so badly to Barbara Boxer in that Senate race in CA? Because all Boxer had to do was run a single issue ad exposing how terrible Fiorina was for business to completely undercut any potential cache she had. Boxer won in a landslide.
Fiorina has the gift of being quick on her feet mentally, but her credentials are merely high-profile failures for which she got paid a lot of money. I'd vote for her only if it the alternative were Hillary Clinton.
Choose liberty.
It has taken me more than a year to vet out the manmade c(lie)mate sham to my own satisfaction.
You just can't believe anybody upon face value these days, especially those that claim to be expert.
So the question to her should be; when and why have you changed your mind on these issues...what was Your A Ha moment?
BTW, is your handle a comment on the candidate?
What I was saying is that practically no one vets these things out and I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe not in this case but one should ask these questions directly and then make an assessments on the response.
Then, vet it out like crazy. As for the audience in carlyfornia, I think it's obvious the lack of gray matter in that state.
Power and wealth for Carly; more broken promises for Americans.
Climate is consistent weather patterns over long periods of time; and that is controlled by the sun and is cyclical in nature.
Like I posted earlier, It has taken me a year to vet all the bull crap out.
Also, I have come to know that what ever the side that opposes everything we know to be true and successful is definitely yanking your chain.
Possibly probably as many as two
The Truth he finds has realigned
An Inconvenient sign of the times
The Crown Prince of Green hastily fled
With a piercing shrieking portent of dread.
Wagging just one shoe behind
Imaginative thorough examination
No delay to digestive deduction
Nor the skillful use of proctology tools
Seeking location of shoe # 2.
Nor in his --- as you might of guessed
The answer so simple look somewhere else
He was wagging a silver foot in his mouth.
I might have written with acceptable prose
But had not one clothes pin for my nose.
No shame faced apologies left to due
It's the end of his tale I'm avoiding...adieu.
While leaving Old Carl with thumb number two.
And if you enjoyed his fined fettled report
You might add another in lieu of a retort
Paul is genuine.
Statist Tools.
(I refer to voters instead of leaders because Republican leaders, with few exceptions, support amnesty as much as Democrats do.)

there could be a reason to consider the "value" (probably
negative) of it. . and the same for CC . IMHO. . the economy
suffers from the false CO2 argument, also. -- j
