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.

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

Isn’t it nice that this cabal of traitors call themselves the “American Conservative Union”?

Carly Fiorina is a useless piece of trash and it was no surprise that California conservatives had no interest in voting for her.

You all have to remember that having two parties here in California is very important.
If the Democrats (spelled; lib/prog/socialist/ communist) didn’t have a Republican (spelled; lib/prog/socialist)to run against, they would have to run against each other.
Can’t have them calling their fellow travelers names you know.

Isn’t this the bitch who destroyed Lucent, then went to HP and drove it into the ground before she got fired?

Isn’t she the failed RINO candidate from CA who hired an illegal as a housemaid? Now she has come OUT, so to speak for legalizing these border jumping Mexicans.

It’s almost pathetic how people here point out how the Dems never attack their own, yet they are so willing to do just that time and time again!

That alone makes me sick, can’t we all just flippin agree we are on the same damn side! Out the dems and rinos, leave alone those who ARE working for US.

Jeez, Sarah is doing more than 1/2 the people here combined. Yet somehow she is someone to poke at.
Thanks for calling them out, I don’t tangle with the haters, they are far too exhausting.

Carly Fiorina: Her opinion is of little weight in the current debate.

Ah. So now CNN values Fiorina's thoughts and opinions.

Hey, Carly, how did you answer that question about Soetoro comparing the Feral Government to Apple? What? They didn't aks you about that? Strange.

This is why I think we could have a big tent populist movement that would destroy statism. After that, we could debate our differences without the threat of statist coercion. for example, we could yolk with the libertarians long enough to slay Leviathan, then debate legalization of their vices without the threat of subsidizing the lifestyles those vices create.
