Carly 'Golden Parachute' Fiorina Makes Pitch for Campaign Contributions

Just got this finance pitch in my inbox, from Carly Fiorina's campaign:

Not interested, of course. Recall Michelle Malkin's earlier entry, "Carly Fiorina channels Dede Scozzafava, wields race/gender card against conservative rival."

Don't give this woman money, obviously. Not only is she RINO,
she doesn't need the cash:
Fiorina’s personal wealth means that she can fight Boxer dollar for dollar in a state where money (and the television ads it buys) is absolutely critical.
Recall Ms. Fiorina's golden parachute from Hewlett-Packard in 2005, "Carly may get $42 million: Severance of $21.4M excludes another $21M in options, restricted stock and pension."

Fiorina's payout was a troubling issue during John McCain's campaign last year, "
McCain Economic Adviser Carly Fiorina's Golden Parachute" (and for Sarah Palin too, who spoke the McCain party line about reforming Wall Street).

Doug Hoffman to Conservatives: 'Take Back the Party!'

From Doug Hoffman's column at the New York Post, "Take Back the Party!":

At this time, three months ago, I was wrestling with a decision. A decision as to whether or not to run in a special election to fill the seat vacated by the new secretary of the Army, John McHugh. If you had told me 90 days later I would be penning an op-ed piece for the New York Post, I would have laughed in disbelief. I would have laughed even louder had you told me that I would be receiving endorsement and support from political leaders like Fred Thompson, former Majority Leader Dick Armey, or Sarah Palin. Or appearing on broadcast media with national audiences, as their hosts peppered me with questions about the future of the GOP and our nation.

You see I’m not a professional politician; I’ve never sought elected office. I grew up poor in Saranac Lake, in the heart of the Adirondacks. My siblings and I were raised in a single-parent household by our mother. We worked to help her pay the mortgage. But, like so many others in this great land, I worked hard, got a good education, did a six-year stint in the military, married, landed a good job with a “big eight” accounting firm and started living the American dream.

It’s funny what can happen in America, when you are able to dream and have the courage to follow your dreams. At 27 I was hired as controller of the organizing committee for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. Three years later I bought the accounting firm that employed my mother. Now I have six offices spread across the northern reaches of New York and a dozen other small businesses in the Adirondacks that employ my wife, children and hopefully someday, my grandchildren. I am living the American Dream.

The reason I’m running for office is to ensure that others share the same opportunities.
The rest is here.

Obama Wants Your Money!

Barack Obama has put out another plea for cash to augment the over $600 million he's already raised. Andrew Malcolm has the story:

Gun Owner

It seems like only a week ago that The Ticket was whining about Barack Obama whining that after raising $605 million through September to buy the presidency, he was asking all of us one last time for just $10 more for some reason.

And we figured out that, October money aside, he'd have to spend $12.5 million a day just to unload September's haul by Nov. 4.

The Democrat is already outspending the Republican by three
and four-to-one, which if it was the other way around would surely be unconscionable.

So last night Obama dumped several million bucks on several TV networks, which they don't mind,
to talk at us slickly for 27 minutes about his change that we need.

And when that was over, pingo, here comes another e-mail from Windy City HQ. You'll never guess what. He wants more money. More. Still.

It was a blessedly short message. He called us by our first name and signed only his first name; so we must be pals. He put the entire fate of his historic campaign in our hands. "The campaign is in your hands," he wrote.
Read the rest here.

Malcolm says: Enough already!

I just love the Warning! button!
