This story is an example why the republican party consistently loses against the progressive left. In response to the ridiculous, albeit recent, NC bathroom laws (which the MSM are having fun bashing conservatives on the head with) the Ted Cruz constituency wants to write bathroom laws into the 2016 republican party platform.
Yes, yes, unfortunately that’s the modern right-wing cultural GOPe. Look over there, shiny thing, shiny thing… quick, go chase it….. quick make a law to control it…. bathrooms, gays, transgenders… oh noes, the humanity !
WASHINGTON DC – After he lost the Republican nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz’s backers will now reportedly pivot towards trying to gain control of the GOP’s platform during the national convention.
According to The New York Times, top Cruz aide Ken Cuccinelli wrote in an email to supporters urging them to come to Cleveland in July to “protect against liberal changes to our platform.” Cuccinelli confirmed the effort to the Times, telling them that Cruz’s backers seek to protect “movement conservatism,” including a firming of the party’s core positions on abortion and the addition of language regarding transgender bathroom use.
“We want to have girls go in girls’ bathrooms,” he said, alluding to how presumptive nominee Donald Trump has taken a more liberal position than Cruz on which bathrooms transgender individuals can use. (read more)
Bathroom monitors? Really? That’s what the Ted Cruz wing of the republican party is worried about… being the bathroom police?
Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion the GOPe actually meets behind mahogany doors and picks out things -intentionally- to make issues out of and give the republican party the public appearance of insane nuttery. I’ve come to believe they do this on purpose as party of the entire construct of the UniParty…. there can be no other reasonable explanation.

No, he did not say that. He said that trying to enforce a law like NC’s would.
Wrong, he said building new gender neutral restrooms everywhere would be an outrageous expense.
Damnit you're going to spoil the fun of watching Tedlims implode...
So don’t require it by law, let it evolve in that direction. These things don’t last forever, they need periodic remodeling.
Hell yes; let’s revert back to digging holes in the back yard and building two hole outhouses above them.
I had to use those as a kid; and I guarendamntee the pervs won’t want to hang around them, especially in July and August.
And he also did speak to the expense of defending something like what NC instituted. So you lie.
“Those that want to have always been able to do that. Legislation won’t change anything. “
Actually Obama is making it legal. Men could be arrested for it before.
It does change things.
It in fact makes those who oppose men exposing themselves to females of any age the potential criminals bt being deemed violators if civil rights.
You want to make this a national issue? Don’t take the bait. It’s an obvious ploy and it’s stupid to fight on this hill at this moment.
You can’t say you’re for limited government and then throw the feds into every issue. This is a ploy to make the election about this ridiculous issue. Don’t fall for it; this is not the hill to fight on
You could get in trouble for public lewdness before, and can get in trouble for public lewdness after.
An answer won’t be found in bathrooms that is more classically found in churches.
Leadership brings people in anyway. And I say it's an easy win. As you know, people are fed up with the forced-unreality of "transgenderism" or whatever. It's just the latest crap from the snowflakes, and we need to say No, just as with immigration. They're children, and you have to tell them No.
Trump should have no hesitation saying that our DOJ is wasteful and legally wrong for going after a state law that the duly elected authorities feel will protect their citizens. It's a layup for liberty and common sense. Let the Dems tick everyone off by arguing that the President has to be a perverted nanny.
Yes! What madness has infected FR that we actually have posters who pretend that this is a non-issue??
Don’t worry. The GOP never finds a hill to fight on. They surrender on everything, and most especially anything to do with morality or social issues. The days in which the GOP proudly stated it stood for ‘family values’ are long over. This is the new, modern “Denny Hastert” GOP, run by homos, pedos, and perverts.
I spit on the GOP.
It already is illegal to expose oneself regardless of the gender.
This issue is like the ridiculous category of a hate crime murder. Murder is murder regardless and designating it a "hate" crime is meaningless.
Agreed. This is a fundamental attack upon our very civilization. Women and girls must be protected against "self-identifying" transsexual men who demand access to their most private facilities.
Not so. It's been accepted practice throughout my lifetime that if once in a huge while a woman saw a man or a tranny (only in a big, creepy city) in the ladies' room, all she had to do was come out and call a cop. Or the manager. Who would come and throw him the f*** out.
If the Feds want to make those protecting the ladies into criminals, do you seriously not see that most people would rally round the ladies, rather than the predators--if it's put that way?
So all those who seek to protect women and girls from sexual predators in bathrooms and shower rooms are "retards"? You are a treasonous Fifth Column on this forum!
Wrong! It is the leftist gaystopo that is making this a national issue. We have the choice of making a stand, or capitulation. As for the "stupidity" of fighting for basic morality that even a decade ago would have been unthinkable, you are either living in some dream world or a treasonous Fifth Column on this forum.
Wrong, mothers would bring little boys into the ladies room so they could watch them to make sure they did their business, and I never heard of a single fuss about it because everybody knew what was happening.
You cut off my sentence, which made all the difference in the world.
