WhateverThey are ‘getting away with murder,’ he said.

He criticizes them for making more money for less work, while Trump made more money by filing bankruptcy and causing many employees to make due without any work.
hypocrite.
As to Fiorina and Trump bankrtupcy...never said otherwise. But do you really want to consider a contender for the same position utilizing the same tactics the press is using as support for a position that the media is not citing things properly and on purpose? Really?
As far as it being good business...yes. Stupid question really...you think a business...or a person really... should not use the laws of the country to protect themselves? Heck it is even common sense to use the laws of the country to protect themselves.
Are you trying to say that we should get rid of bankruptcy all together? Or are you going to say that only the really poor should be allowed to dodge or refinance debt?
She is an idiot and a crazy person.... She's an idiot for staying with Bill for all these years...She is an idiot for staying with the Democrat party after they abandoned her in 08. The list could go on for some timeShe's not great, but I'll vote for her over Ben Carson or Donald Trump any day. She has one characteristic that's a deal-breaker for me, in comparison to the two leading Republican candidates: She appears to be sane. She also seems to know that liberals and social democrats are not communists (Carson has basically called Obama a Communist and Trump has said the same thing about Bernie Sanders). You can't bring yourself to vote for her over complete idiots and crazy people?
Must have been failure of the printed word. I took your statement as more cynical and sarcastic..my apologies.I really find nothing wrong with their tactics. I won't vote for them, but it has nothing to do with how they are campaigning.
What did I say or imply that gave you that idea?
Must have been failure of the printed word. I took your statement as more cynical and sarcastic..my apologies.
Your comment I was referring to: "However, using the laws of the Country to protect yourself, your business and your stockholders is just good business and good common sense"

She is an idiot for staying with the Democrat party after they abandoned her in 08.
No more personal than calling Carson an idiot for his religious beliefs. Or for that matter calling anyone else an idiot. Your right I don't know anymore about their lives than anyone else. But if people can criticize Carson, Cruz, Sanders, Trump for their personal life...why is it that Clinton is off limits? She's not. And if I personally feel she should have left Bill for his disrespect of their marriage, then so what. I mean is not the whole point of the primaries to dig into all the personal stuff candidates have done in their past, or is that only reserved for Republican candidates?This is a deeply personal family issue. Criticizing her for the decision to stay with someone who had an affair when you don't know anymore about their lives than the rest of the country is highly inappropriate. Beyond that, I thought that Christianity generally tried to keep families together? Calling her an idiot and a crazy person for trying to reconcile with her husband seems deeply opposed to be.
Where else would she go? The Republican Party wouldn't have even had her in 2008, before it took its sharp right turn and went into no-man's land. Her only chance to be elected is to run on a Democratic ticket. Beyond that, it's not quite fair to say that the Democratic Party turned its back on here. Parties in the U.S. are loose groups, and while many members rejected her as a presidential candidate in favor of Obama, she continued to be supported by other members (and was eventually brought into the Obama administration's cabinet).
It just seems peculiar that conservatives - who generally believe in the sanctity of marriage - would criticize Clinton for not abandoning her marriage. If they usually took the position that wronged wives should leave their husbands rather than forgive them, then this wouldn't seem so hypocritical. It's not that criticizing her personal choices is wrong, it's that criticizing this particular choice seems hypocritical coming from religious conservatives.No more personal than calling Carson an idiot for his religious beliefs.

I can see that. But technically speaking the sanctity of their marriage was ruined when Bill decided to have an affair. Based on Biblical principles this is the type of divorce that is allowed. But it is not just conservatives that would claim she should have left him..I have actually heard that more from liberal women than anything else. That is at least my experience. And just to be clear, I personally do not care if she stayed with him or not, I was using that as an example to cal her an idiot because I have heard people call her that because of the affair(s).
The point being though, as it relates to the comments made about calling people idiots, the standard is subjective and TudorGothicSerpent criticized me for bring up the affair, on the grounds it was a "deeply personal family issue."
Noting that the OP is not objecting to the direction of the thread.Clinton's marriage has nothing to do with this topic on Ben Carson. You deserve criticism for attempting to derail the thread.
I only brought up Clinton when someone said folks like Carson were "idiots". So as an example people could call Clinton an idiot for staying with Bill. Wasn't derailing anything, someone wanted to challenge my use of that as an example...chastise them : ) leave me aloneClinton's marriage has nothing to do with this topic on Ben Carson. You deserve criticism for attempting to derail the thread.
I rarely have done so.You would if it were I posting stuff to derail the thread.
Sounds like projection of the Democrat candidates ... the party you've made clear you intend to vote for.Face it, the republican candidates are all pathetic ...
Curious that you put him at the top of the list. He's not at the top of the polls.... and Carson is at the top of that list.
I know what you mean. I've been amazed at the number of ignorant people who wanted a clueless individual such as Obama to lead the country ... twice. Weird, huh?I am amazed at how many ignorant people want a clueless individual such as Carson to lead the country.

Sure, liberal women would tend to advise her to ditch the cad, but in general, do religious conservatives chastise women for not leaving their husbands and not divorcing them for their infidelity? I thought there was an ideological difference between what liberal women and religious conservatives would counsel.I can see that. But technically speaking the sanctity of their marriage was ruined when Bill decided to have an affair. Based on Biblical principles this is the type of divorce that is allowed. But it is not just conservatives that would claim she should have left him..I have actually heard that more from liberal women than anything else. That is at least my experience.

I agree that the standard is deeply subjective, but is it your habit to criticize "wronged" women for standing by their man? Or is it dependent on which woman and which man and not the circumstance? Are you willing to put aside your moral convictions to make a political point - I'm assuming that you are a religious conservative or do you actually think that women should break up their families over their husbands philandering?The point being though, as it relates to the comments made about calling people idiots, the standard is subjective and TudorGothicSerpent criticized me for bring up the affair, on the grounds it was a "deeply personal family issue."
