Is Ann Coulter now turning on Ted Cruz?

First conservative icon Thomas Sowell turned on Ted Cruz, now it appears that Ann Coulter is souring on the Texas Republican as well.

Sowell published two columns this week slamming Cruz for being self-serving. Coulter praised the first of Sowell’s columns in a tweet Wednesday.

Later, in an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” Wednesday night, Coulter doubled down on her praise of Sowell’s anti-Cruz column: ”I never push anyone else’s column but mine. Today everyone has got to read Thomas Sowell’s article.” During the “Hannity” segment, Coulter attacked tea party groups for being filled with “shysters” and “conmen,” naming specifically the Senate Conservatives Fund as an example. The Senate Conservatives Fund was a key outside group that supported Cruz in his fight to “Defund Obamacare” last fall, which ultimately led to a government shutdown.

“And these people are just trying to get money off good Americans by saying we’re going after ‘establishment Republicans,” Coulter complained about tea party groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund. “How about going after Democrats?”

“Do not trust anyone who says they are trying to defeat ‘establishment Republicans,’” she added.

Without mentioning Cruz by name, Coulter railed against tea partiers who fail to understand that the “only way to repeal Obamacare is to elect Republicans.”

“It is not to be fighting against Republicans,” she said.

Coulter seems to be referring to Cruz’s recent threat of a filibuster earlier this month when a House bill to raise the debt ceiling came to the Senate floor.

This “coincidental”, simultaneous, one message effort by Coulter, Sowell, et al, can only mean one thing: Cruz is being attacked.
No point in lying to ourselves.

Oh yeah. He tells the truth. He's fearless.



"One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened" on FaceBook wrote the following:

WE have seen Ted Cruz KNEELING in prayer in the front of the White House.

We have seen Ted Cruz STANDING all night, and all alone against Obamacare.

WE have seen Ted Cruz SITTING, while others applauded revealing their soullessness, and utter contempt for the American people.

In each instance Ted Cruz was alone in his statesmanship decorum.

TRUTH in a decadent day usually stands alone.

Those who are standing, and applauding are what our founders feared.

Ted Cruz is what our founders dreamed of.

Hey Ann we are just trying to get Republicans to be Republicans.I guess Ann thinks that Republicans can only be Republicans when they are in the Majority,if they are in the minority they become Democrats,I guess Ted Cruz thinks and believes what he does regardless of who holds the gavel.
As for Boner he doesn’t know what the hell he believes,except he hates Ted Cruz

Cruz’s long speech and advocacy actually had no effect on the government shutdown. As a senator, his actions are neither influential nor pertinent to House actions.

You need to study up, a lot more, on what actually happened.

Senator Cruz's actions have GALVANIZED the Tea-Party and gave the House conservative caucus the necessary fortitude to actually pursue, even if temporarily, the attempt to de-fund Obamacare, which is what they should have been doing all along constitutionally speaking

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

“Well there you have it...Coulter turned RINO.”

This is only an update of a not so recent development.

[Timber Rattler]

She turned RINO back in 2008 when she pimped Christie and Romney, and then attacked Sarah Palin. No surprises here.

[Jane Long]

Coulter: Last Straw

Cruz: Last Stand

I Stand With Ted Cruz!

[Windflier]

Well there you have it...Coulter turned RINO.

A long, long time ago.

[Windflier]

Remember how so, so many were fully vested in Sarah Palin? Remember what a let down she was?

I hope you're only referring to the fact that many of us were disappointed that Sarah didn't run in 2012. Other than that, Sarah hasn't let down the conservative right in any way, shape, or form. Ever.

[Colonel_Flagg]

So the woman who uses Chris Christie as a life preserver is going to tell the rest of us how to vote. Oooookay.

[luvie]

Ann who?

“I hope you’re only referring to the fact that many of us were disappointed that Sarah didn’t run in 2012.”

That would be it. A lot of people, many on this board, had created an alternate reality regarding Palin and her intentions then. “Oh, she’s definitely running” and “She’s playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers” and “she’s getting her grass-roots juggernaut ready to spring” and on and on and on. Delusions.

Too many times us conservatives (just like the folks on the left) get caught up in the hype. We forget to take a breath, sober up, stand back.....and really look at reality for minute.

“Ever.”

Ever is a long time. We’re talking fallible people who are corruptible politicians. I don’t trust any of them any further than my dog can drag them. Marco Rubio was the darling savior of the GOP just a few short years ago.

[alstewartfan]

She also backs Mitch. Anyway, did anyone on FR find Dr. Sowell’s or Coulter’s words convincing? I doubt it.

I don't get mentally stuck in any past experience, whether good or bad. I'm enthusiastic about a given political leader until they give me reason to temper (or even lose) that enthusiasm.

I stay in the present moment, as regards my support of political aspirants and leaders. Whether they ever pause to consider it or not, I'm voting for them every day - either up or down.

In the case of Sarah Palin, my support for her is as enthusiastic as it ever was. She's never given me any reason to vote her down.

[chicagolady]

She USE to LOVE Chris Christie.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

She was not sure if Cornyn should be primaried.

She thought it was a good idea to keep Dick Lugar and Mike Castle.

When they got primaried Orrin Hatch in 2010 voted No to the adorable Dreamers.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Not at all. How are 51 Senate Republicans going to repeal Obamacare entirely?

51 Senate Republicans could pass amnesty lite.

The country would be better off if the consumers, takers and destroyers of prosperity and wealth were not allow to vote.

My dear mother often states her firm belief that women should have never been given the right to vote.
