Yea, I don't know what to tell you. You, I, and the rest of the conservative world are not going to find a perfect candidate, and I know how I hate when I hear someone say that, but it is true. I do know this, people change their positions, some from political calculation or "Pragmatism" some from principle. With Cruz, given his track record, I am more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Of all of the potential POTUS candidates, with the exception of Sarah Palin, he comes across, at least to me, as the most sincere, the most authentic, the most principled Conservative bar none.
So yes, you are within your right, as a conservative and a Freeper to point out what looks like a discrepancy. However, it just maybe a principled man, changing his mind on an issue once he thought it through and realized he was wrong. It is something I have done in my life, and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Even if that discrepancy stands, I'll still stand with Ted Cruz as he stands Head and Shoulders above every other single candidate except Sarah Palin.
CRUZ or LOSE!
