so why do Californians who are losing jobs vote for Fiorina who fired workers?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Fiorina is anti-worker, not on the side of the people. Why would these fools want to vote for Rich B*** who wants to increase unemployment and wants people to suffer? Who are these people?

[slackmaster]

1. Relax. Fiorina is going to get creamed.

:hi:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. No it bothers me!

[slackmaster]

3. You have no control over those people

Why allow yourself to be bothered?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. who are they?

[slackmaster]

5. Crab People

[Retrograde]

6. She lost the Silicon Valley area

in the primary: the people who know her best voted for her opponent, a moderate Republican. The actual election hasn't happened yet - even the absentee ballots are just arriving.

There's a lot of kick out the incumbents sentiment going around, and I think her so-called support is part of this.

7. She scares me more than Prissy Chrissy

Chrissy's an idiot, Fiorina's smart enough to make a substantial part of her evil reality.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. The same reason many poor continue to vote Republican...

My dad's mom was dirt poor. She was on welfare and barely scraped by. Yet she never ever voted Democrat.

She's gone now, thankfully, so...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. do they think some of the richness will rub off onto them?

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. Calm down. The election is weeks away. No one has voted for Fiorina. n/t

[golfguru]

11. Unemployment now at 10.1% per Gallup Oct 7

I wonder how they came up with that number. Do they just call 800 people
and if 80 are looking for jobs?

[Hekate]

12. The election is a month away. No one has voted for her at all yet.

[harun]

13. Because they think they are going to be as rich as her someday.

It is GOP myth #1, that you too will someday be rich.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Exactly right.

And, this time those tax cuts really will create jobs. We swear. Pay no attention to all the last time, when your job went to China or India.

[onenote]

15. Because they are not voting for Fiorina. They're voting against the status quo

The reason that crappy candidates are doing well against far more qualified incumbents is that there is a lot of anti-incumbent feeling out there and these folks are not voting for someone as much as voting against. Those here who say that they would rather not vote for a moderate/conservative Democrat even if the opponent is worse could learn a thing or two from those voters who are happy to ignore the shortcomings of one candidate in order to cast a vote against another candidate.

[TheKentuckian]

16. Like how to scuttle their country and how to display strong signs of insanity?

Their strong against is mostly against themselves. There is little merit in anything those folks have to share.

You also miss that the frustrated left is voting against too or desperately want to. What you want is for them to find a different set of focus points rather than the sore and deadly shared structural ones that are supposed to be ignored and dealt with later.

The refusal to honestly accept the reality of corporate capture of at least state and federal government and the growing wealth disparity created by the treachery of both parties and further resolve to fix it with all possible haste is the number one cause of friction.

We can't operate purely within this stacked of a status quo and expect to even tread water. The resource squeeze is not sustainable and even if it can be maintained it won't be in a context that permits broad prosperity and the opportunity for every child to take advantage of their God given gifts and best efforts in such a dynamic.

You can't sweep the ability to earn a living wage, a roof and four walls, breathable air, clean water, decent food, and a realistic hope of a better future under the rug. Not for all the people all the time.

Honest acceptance of the current efforts as a desperate attempt at a holding action while we scramble to change the environment that the game is played in would go a long way to help "the medicine" go down but I reckon some think the train is a hell of a machine and the tracks are laid to the right destination and as long as the engineer and crew are right it'll be right on time.

Friction should not be a surprise when perception and goals are so far off.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. I thought our candidate was a 'socialist' according to the right?

so what is our left doing?

[Iggo]

19. Because they are republicans.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

20. I'm very hopeful

Boxer and Brown will pull it out. And Meg and Carly can fly off into the sunset and enjoy their ill-begotten riches. Am also hoping for a landlide so they'll never darken this state again.
