[font size=5]Furious Sarah Palin unloads on former pal Ted Cruz as a ‘half-term’ US senator with no achievements[/font]

Sarah Palin, who has been credited with helping launch Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s national career by endorsing him in 2012 has had a change of heart since throwing her presidential endorsement to New York billionaire Donald Trump.

Writing on Facebook, the former half-term governor of Alaska took a slap at Cruz — who is shaping up to be Trump’s last standing rival for the nomination — by calling Cruz a “half-term” U.S. Senator lacking in any semblance of legislative “success” since he traveled to Washington D.C.

In the course of her diatribe, she also described Cruz as a career politician while knocking him for calling Trump’s fans “low-information voters.” ,,,,

Palin also took a dig at former nominee Carly Fiorina for flip-flopping on Cruz when she bestowed her endorsement on the Texas senator this week.

“Info on consistency with his big endorsement this week, as Carly tells it like it is so very recently? ” Palin wrote, adding this quote from Fiorina: “Ted Cruz is just like any other politician. He says one thing in Manhattan, he says another thing in Iowa. He says whatever he needs to say to get elected, and then he’s going to do as he pleases. I think people are tired of a political class that promises much and delivers much of the same.”

[font size=5]Glenn Beck Wants Someone to Please, PLEASE Tell Him Palin’s Not Actually Smearing Cruz[/font]

Glenn Beck is standing with Ted Cruz. Sarah Palin is stumping for Donald Trump. As both sides continue warring with each other for the Republican nomination, it’s been fascinating to observe the rough patch that’s come between the former friends and Tea Party favorites. ....

... Beck published a post of his own last night, saying that Palin’s intentional lying was the “saddest tale yet” in her career, and that she couldn’t actually be behind her recent postings.

“Who is writing your Facebook page, because I know it isn’t you,” Beck asked. “You are better than this. After all your family has been through, after all of the lies and smears you have weathered, to now use known lies and distortions to hurt others is just not you.”

Beck went on to say that Media Matters-types of “lies and smears” have become the standard for Palin’s posts, and that it was sad for him to see after years of taking her side.
