I am slowly coming to the realization she is a compulsive liar. She lies about everything,which should disqualify her as a presidential candidate, but oddly Republicans seem to enjoy being lied to.

Only 5? C’mon TPM! Every word out of her mouth is a lie!

Carly Fiorina spent her time time at ATT and Lucent in sales and Marketing. Carly was in charge of the sales and marketing division at Lucent. It should be no surprise she knows how to deliver a polished message and sell herself to the public.

Carly Fiorina continually lied at Lucent and H-P - to investors and to customers and employees. She burned people left and right.

Now she’s lying and intentionally misleading people as a Republican candidate.

Carly Fiorina is a sadistic liar - that is not what we need in the White House. We already had one of those in Dick Cheney!

This woman makes me sick. This woman makes me angry. That said, most of today’s news media and “journalists” make me sick and angry as well. Chris Wallace’s father, Mike Wallace, and all the old ‘60 Minutes’ gang would put the Carly Fiorinas, Donald Trumps, Jeb Bushes–pretty much every single GOP presidential candidate–to shame. Nearly every one of them would have a couple new assholes ripped before the finish of their interviews. I’m old enough to remember that style of investigative–and directly honest–journalism.

TPM::

5 Times Carly Fiorina And Her Campaign Played Fast And Loose With The Facts

Given the surfeit of lies Fiorina has told, isn’t it kind of lazy to give us just five, TPM?

Or was it harder work winnowing it down from 500 easy choices to the most important five?

Donald Trump is leading the pack … DONALD TRUMP. Does anyone seriously believe the GOP base gives a rat’s ass about facts or truth or anything except angry blind finger pointing?

We should all just consider ourselves lucky that John Rambo was only a fictional character or he’d be tied with Carson by now.

And the conservative base would still love the candidates even more for pissing off the so-called “liberal” media.

Biggest tell of the Jason Chaffetz J-Off’ witch hunt hearings into Planned Parenthood is his refusal to call the video maker of the ‘bombshell videos’ to testify.
All this godd*mned kerfuffle and browbeating and bluster, but they can’t let David Daleiden talk to the committee under oath? Fiorina and the entire Chaffetz loonfest committee are grandstanding liars.

As indisputable proof of PP’s nefarious harvesting of brains, Fiorina and Chaffetz will offer up this photo of their head investigative reporter with the brain that was removed in the video they have referenced:

In a breathtaking bit of cognitive dissonance that broke both irony and truth meters across the board, Fiorina had this to say:

“Somebody once asked me, ‘What’s the difference between business and
politics?’” Fiorina said at the event, which was hosted by the Oklahoma
Independent Petroleum Association. "And here’s the difference: Politics is a fact-free zone. People just say things."

Hell…Actually, I think that is a confession! Oh Carly, here’s one meter you can’t escape, because you are so full of it:

Is she delusional or psychopathic? The jury may be out on psychopathic, but she has certainly solidified her spot at the top of the delusional charts.

One of the ‘new’ MSNBC afternoon ‘news’ anchors tried the false equivalency thing with this yesterday as an interview with a Dem official was winding down saying words to the effect that Democrats have done things like the fake Planned Parenthood ‘documentary’ and the following orchestrated GOP-wide attack in the past. The Dem either let the remark stand or didn’t hear it as the interview had more or less ended. It’s too bad the official couldn’t have casually asked the anchor to name one of the similar Democratic attacks he was thinking about, or a couple of them. Dem officials, of all people, allowing this kind of whispering to stand burns my nether regions

It must’ve been easier to point out 5 lies than sift through the detritus to find 5 truths?

There is a reason that Trump, Carson, Rubio, Fiorina et al severely stretch the truth or flat out lie. They don’t have anything real to offer and sensationalism is all that sells. Plus, they can do exactly what Carly’s mouthpiece did and turn the accusation back against the reporter or whomsoever. The spokeswoman didn’t refute anything, she just tried to discredit all that pointed out Fiorina’s blatant lies. That is a losing proposition for a campaign that hasn’t ever gotten any credibility to begin with in the first place.

Fiorina is floundering as all the phonies do once they get into the big spotlight. She only fills the very absent roll of female within the Republican ranks and I’m fairly sure that at least that is the truth.

The Republican Base is afraid and ignorant.
Carly’s lies are carefully crafted for that audience.
Carly’s done a good job of targeting and lying;
after each lie, Carly’s “popularity” among the Republican Base goes up.
Carly knows her audience.
