Carly Fiorina's Tea Party Rally in Marin County

Is international bribery a plus in their eyes?

WSJ (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704644404575481961121687910.html) (emphasis added):

Hewlett-Packard Co. disclosed Thursday that a probe by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission of possible bribes the company paid in Russia is now wider than previously reported.

The disclosure, in an SEC filing, pertains to a long-running German investigation of allegations that H-P, through a German subsidiary, paid bribes in Russia to secure a contract valued at €35 million, or about $44.5 million, with the office of the prosecutor general of the Russian Federation.

The contract spanned 2001 to 2006 and was for the delivery and installation of an information technology network.
[...]
Thursday's filing says U.S. authorities recently requested information about "certain governmental and quasi-governmental transactions in Russia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States subregion dating back to 2000." The wording of the filing suggests a broader probe than previously revealed.
[...]
The U.S. investigation concerns possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a law that bans bribes to foreign officials. H-P said previously that the probe involved people who have mostly left the company.
[...]
The disclosure itself is a sign the investigation has entered a new phase.

Listed companies are only required to report investigations in SEC filings if they are material for investors. H-P had refrained from reporting the bribery probes until Thursday.

Let's see who was in charge at H-P from 2000-2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina):

Carly Fiorina... served as chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005...

Mindful that no charges against Carly have been announced - much less a conviction - I wonder what reaction the Teabaggers would have to the news that during Carly's tenure at H-P, allegations of international bribery have been leveled at H-P at the highest level.

Could Hurricane Carly become the 1st Candidate for Senator to go to Prison for Bribery?

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

Here's the Republican problem/dilemma. Go off the reservation, don't use the prescreened talking points and find out you are off the GOP bandwagon and aren't getting national GOP monies in your local campaign. Stay on topic and receive that helping hand. It's not all that surprising to see how easily compromised these so-called representative become just elected officals that only represent their parties wishes

Every once in a while the lunatic fringe far right goes on a tear.
We had something similar here in Canada a few years back with a bunch of mouth breathers called the Reform Party.

They were going to cut spending, take orders from the grass roots, all that nonsense we are seeing with the baggers now.
They won a few seats in parliament.

After a few years they ended up back in the conservative party. Although, there's still a few religious far right talking in tongues creeps from Reform that hold high positions in the present government.

I wish they would just hooba nagooba lipsity goolabundaloom... HEY! I can get away with saying anything and using any offensive words I want in the forums if I just talk in tongues!
