Remarks at Iowa's Lincoln Day Dinner - May 10, 2015
May 10, 2015
Good evening everyone, so great to be back in Iowa this evening. You know since I launched my candidacy for the presidency last Monday, I have answered a total of 372 on the record questions. Hillary Clinton has answered 8 since April 12. I've got some interesting questions for example is, is a hot dog a sandwich. Or, am I criticizing Hillary Clinton because I'm a woman. I'm criticizing Hillary Clinton because I'll come from a world where a title was just a title, and talk is just talk, and […]

The Messenger and the Message: Getting it Right- November 3, 2014
November 3, 2014
Fiorina gave this speech at Southern New Hampshire University. One on the distinctions that I want to draw as we get started here, is between the democrats who engage in identity politics and republicans who are focused on unlocking everyone's potential. We are not focused on engaging women because women are better than men. We are not focused on engaging women because we think women are an identity group that only cares about certain issues. We're focused on engaging women because women are half the talent in this country. Women […]

Remarks at the 2015 Unite IE Conservative Conference- Feb. 21, 2015
February 21, 2015
Well good morning? How's everybody? Good! Whenever I hear an introduction like that it's so gracious and complimentary and in kind of makes it sound like life is one smooth ascent. Of course it's not. So I want to tell you a little bit about my story because it is the American story. When I was a little girl my mother was my Sunday school teacher, when I was eight years old. Don't worry this won't take too long. And she gave to me and her other students a plaque […]

Defund Planned Parenthood - Aug. 3, 2015
August 3, 2015
I rise today to speak on an issue that has shaken the moral compass of our society. The phrase, “It's a boy!” is one we often used when celebrating new life. Instead this was spoken by a Planned Parenthood employee, as the body of an unborn baby boy was picked apart and harvested for organs like a liver, kidneys, and heart. We've watched as other Planned Parenthood employees talked about less crunchy techniques to preserve baby organs for buyers, and grumbled about war torn unborn babies before being sold for […]
