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) 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.

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

Apparently, she’s trying to blow up her candidacy. It was OK for her to carry principle into a board meeting and get fired because of it, but it’s not OK for Cruz to elevate principle.
She’s a hypocrite.

The democrats are already running an shriveled up annoying old stupid bitch for President.
We don’t need another one.
Guess she never heard of Reagan’s 11th commandment. Now that she has had some good press coverage, she is angling for more traction. Not in my book Carly, and not at the expense of Cruz. See ya......
That's not necessarily a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.
First of all, what happened to her hair in this picture? She looks better now, but her hair color is still off.
Second of all, Cruz has more honor in his little finger than in her entire off-colored head of hair.
She needs to learn when to shut up.
Medved, Hewitt and others sound a bit conservative unless something conservative is actually happening. They like being in the opposition, they don’t seem to want conservatism to win.
this tart doesn’t appear to be all sweetness and light like we might have thought..
keep it up Carly you just might find there’s no room fore you at the big folks table after all..
youre acting like a child...
You’re nothing to me now. You’re not a sister, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do.
To be clear, I don’t mind her trying to position herself above her opponents, but she needs to pick a solid argument. Special pleading for John Boehner is not a solid argument, and fighting to defund ObamaCare actually DID lead to a huge victory in the 2014 election.
I knew it. She’s the Establishment attack dog. I thought she might be useful if she stuck to attacking Hillary. I knew once she started attacking conservatives her cover would be blown.
She is a bit of a shape-shifter.
Still, if she will keep her eye on the ball, which is Hillary, she can be worth keeping in the race. I notice Cruz’s campaign donated to her campaign, so they must be of that opinion.
I generally like her. But I always notice that, while she tries to be on the right side of things, she chooses her words ever-so-carefully. Which always leaves me feeling like she has left an escape hatch in anything she has said. She seldom talks about principles in flat unequivocal terms, she always wordsmiths like a lawyer.
So while at one time I was thinking she might make a good VP, I’m leaning away now. I’m thinking Cruz/Rubio. Rubio would make a good VP, he is smart and well-spoken, and serving under Cruz would help him rehabilitate himself from his unfortunate adultery with Schumer.
I hope you weren’t planning on taking her fishing?
Ruh roh. Carly wants to be liked by Karl and the gang.
Excuse me?
Well if pople would just look at their damn histories there would be zero surprises.
There is a simple reason SJB and I have called all of this crap dead on. And it ain’t because we are political savants. All we did was look at these people’s histories and records to see what their actions would be. And we have not missed it yet.
Well another bites the dust.....
We’re down how many now????
Gotta keep putting the info out there so we can decide who we want...we can’t trust anyone but us folks on FR to do it....
