Carly Fiorina Attacks Cruz: 'No Honor' in Fight to Defund Obamacare

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO Northern California Republican who ran as a conservative to get the Republican Senate nomination in 2010, attacked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday, saying there was "no honor" in his fight to defund Obamacare.

Fiorina made her remarks just days after she joined the American Conservative Union, an establishment organization on the right that supports comprehensive immigration reform.

In an appearance on CNN's The Lead, Fiorina blamed the government shutdown on Cruz and implied that Republicans would have been better off waiving the white flag from the beginning on eliminating Obamacare.

"There's no honor in charging a hill that you know you can't take, only casualties, although Ted Cruz maybe got name recognition and money along the way," she said. "But President Obama wanted this shutdown. And Ted Cruz played right into his hands."

Fiorina said she felt "badly for [House Speaker] John Boehner" and emphasized that "this is Ted Cruz and President Obama's shutdown."

"Everybody could see this train wreck coming," Fiorina said.

“We are so screwed”

Only if you’re one of the insiders. You’ve got to remember these guys are losers and now more of us are on to them. Carly Fiorina is a loser. They are the stupid party.

Although it is certainly possible to advance a pragmatic argument to the effect that it would have been wiser to attempt something different--say, to attach the defunding of ObamaCare to any increase in the debt ceiling; or even to allow its full implementation, so that it could reveal itself as an abject failure--it is very hard to see how anyone might find it dishonorable to lead the charge against ObamaCare, as Sen. Cruz has done.

Certainly, Pickett's Charge, at Gettysburg, 150 years ago, was doomed from the start. But who could claim (with a straight face) that it was dishonorable?

More proof that Ted Cruz is our man, and the left wingers and their allies, the Rinos, are scared of Cruz.

Hey Carly:

If we wanted any sh*t out of you, we’d have squeezed your head.

Lead, follow, or get the f*** out of the way.

Clearly you’re not leading anything...

Clearly, you’re not following...

That leaves one option.

Yep, so very correct and astute in your observations of Corporate Raider Carly!

She needs to stay quiet and count her millions siphoned off of hardworking HP employees.

Just my $0.02 worth of opinion as a former HP Employee who was “Carly’d” in 2001.

When you are over the target area you receive the most flak. No wonder the RINOs all hate you. Keep it up Ted, we are behind you 100%.

It depends on whose you side with when measuring honor. Carly is very honorable for she is loyal to her paymasters -commie globalists. She’d sell her grandmother if ordered, she’s so loyal.

On the other hand, Cruz is very honorable for being loyal to his people - Americans - and his Nation, the United States and it’s constitutional freedom.

Liberal Carly lost the California election. She’s a great foreigner

Ask any engineer at HP during the ruinous reign of the cretinous sales b*tch what they think of her.

She did not have the qualifications to mow the grass...and was a perfect example of a quota select useless slug.

(Full apologies to all the brilliant female engineers out there. You know you are good. You also know she is an idiot.)

Her RINOsity reflects perfectly her low IQ.

Thanks for the info. And while it’s all fine and good that she survived her ailment, there are lots of us out here who have survived major threats to our health and life.

I’ve survived two emergency stomach surgeries myself, but—

1) I don’t deign to know solely from my time in medical peril who is honorable and who isn’t, and;

2) I remain MORTALLY OPPOSED TO OBAMACARE with all my being and hope it is defunded and then repealed.

And Carly Fiorina remains a GREAT BIG FLOP. She shouldn’t go away mad, she should just go away.
