Just how deluded is Carly Fiorina?

Notice not a word about the corrupt perverts within the ranks of those "people of faith."

Carly Fiorina: 'People Of Faith Make Better Leaders'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 11/23/2015 10:13 am

On Friday night, seven Republican presidential hopefuls gathered around a fake Thanksgiving table in Des Moines, Iowa, for a "Presidential Family Forum" hosted by The Family Leader, an influential Religious Right organization headed by Bob Vander Plaats. Moderator Frank Luntz promised the event would be an "adult conversation" about the issues important to the conservative Christian activists in the audience and the candidates bent over backwards to appeal to these voters, with Carly Fiorina declaring at one point that all the people on stage, as well as all the people in the audience, "are people of faith who love our God" and that is important because "people of faith make better leaders." "I do think it's worth saying," Fiorina declared, "that people of faith make better leaders because faith gives us humility, faith teaches us that no one of us is greater than any other one of us, that each of us are gifted by God. Faith gives us empathy; we know that all of us can fall and every one of us can be redeemed. And faith gives us optimism, it gives us the belief that there is something better, that there is someone bigger than all of us. And so I think it's important that we elect a leader of faith and that we elect a leader, as well, who knows that more prayer, not less, is necessary in public life and in all our lives."

I'd rather have a President with good organizational skills than one who throws up his hands and says, "Now what, God?"

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

But the paycheck wasn't all that bad.
Seriously, she is the poster child of corporate management and the thinking that is helping to destroy the nation.

Geeeeeez, that's a fucking WHOPPER of a lie right there.

In America, where faith-based . . . everything . . . . rules the roost, it's ALL about the narrative of making WASPs believe they're better than (insert boogeyman, racial slur, ethnic slur or maligned class here)s.

Without that, Fox Newz and Hate Radio Inc. wouldn't be able to hypnotize our elderly, suburbanites and rural citizens by and large.
