CA NOW: Calling Whitman a 'Whore' is Accurate

[maxiep]

That's true, and if you had said that I would not have objected to it.



What successful government programs has Meg Whitman been involved with in her long career in the corporate world?

Now, what's the job they are running for? Corporate executive? Or government executive?

Do you somehow believe that the skills to create an effective organization and control expenses doesn't cross over to government? Because if that's your position, then we'll agree to disagree.

California doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Meg Whitman is a Bain-trained organizational expert, who has a long track record with FTD, Hasbro, Disney and E-Bay. Do you really believe Jerry Brown is better qualified to reorganize and streamline California's government?

Some of the skills do cross over, of course. Some don't. Government is actually different in some ways, and requires a different skill set.

Yes. Jerry Brown has a long track record with the state of California, and the state of California is actually pretty similar to the state of California. Whereas Hasbro really isn't all that much like the state of California.

You're assuming a consistency of environment. I can tell you that we have a list of executives that we hire for our different businesses. Some are really good at achieving growth, some are really good at cutting costs, some are strong on operations, etc. We hire different people for different goals all the time.

If you think Jerry Brown is better equipped to take on the public unions, the size of government and controlling costs than Meg Whitman, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree. We've seen Jerry as Governor before; color me unimpressed, and those were better economic times. You're entitled to think differently, although if you do you're entering into Einstein's definition of insanity.

The state of california when Brown was gov. is not pretty similar to the state of california.

He is the attorney general right now. That's relevant experience with the california of today.

Eric Holder in 2012! Who is better qualified?

Makes sense. Do you ever hire executives who have spent their entire career in government and have never had a private sector job?

Ok, we will agree to disagree.

He seems more equipped to deal with crime as governor, but atty. general has little to do with the state's biggest issues, which are fiscal.

Eric Holder in 2012! Who is better qualified?

It's never a question of who is most qualified out of the entire population. It's a question of who is most qualified of the two people running.

That bitch is a whore a skank a slut and an ugly piece of dog shit, she should be shot and killed or raped by a thousand illegal immigrants in a McDonald's drive thru................................


POLITICALLY SPEAKING.

See, I can say anything horrible and just put those words at the end and it is just me talking politics.

 

[Ed O]

You forgot to add, "No offense, but..." to the beginning.

I'm pretty sure that means the reader can't take offense

As for the term itself: it's a bit redundant. Politicians spend the majority of their time in fundraising and relatively little in actual policy work.

I just want to point out that crandc actually did run away from this thread once confronted with facts about the NOW CA president's comments.
