I hereby apologize for all the mean and inaccurate things I said about this wonderful man.
That’s okay-— we knew you didn’t mean them.
Damn He’s Good, Damn Good!!!!!
I like his response.
Don’t fall for the emotional rhetoric and answer the question the way it is supposed to be answered; from a Constitutional standpoint.
“And under the Constitution, from the beginning of this country, marriage has been a question for the states.”
Actually, marriage has NEVER been a question for the states. It never entered the mind of society to question the definition of marriage. Yep, he sidestepped the question. Why? Where is the boldness in that? Of course they were trying to trap him, but he can’t evade their questions. This will come up until he gives a definite response. If he says no, they will squeal like stuck pigs, and if he says yes, they will celebrate their victory.
Ping!
I prefer his answer to that of Rubio. Don’t fall for the Liberal media’s gotcha hypothetical.
Are you aware of what a mess Rubio made of the same question? Several threads on that today.
Cruz is absolutely amazing. Every time I hear him, I am more impressed than the last time.
I want him to debate Hillary tomorrow.
I swear...he just keeps setting the example and taking the rest of them to school.
“the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
I hope I never am put in the position of being invited to a man having sex with man marriage.
Just say “NO!”
He's ignoring that made up rule.
He didn't evade the question anyway. Under the Constitution, the States have the power to regulate marriage, not the feds. He didn't evade the question anyway. The question was wrong and he exposed that.
In the US, since the Constitution, States control marriage. Not the feds. He said that.

Ive also not been present while two people of the same sex tried to pretend that they were getting married.
The question is silly and irrelevant.
Yes he saw the trap. To attend a same-sex marriage (I don’t use the word ‘gay’) is to celebrate it and in so doing to defacto recognize it.
Would Jesus, God in the flesh, attend a marriage of a man with a man or a woman with a woman? And if He were to attend such, would He celebrate it?
To attend a such a marriage for Christians is to celebrate sin, to celebrate perversion, to celebrate an abomination to the Lord.
And once one sin is celebrated, it is no longer considered sin to the confused. As confusion ascends then all other sins wait for their normalization. The Church falls and is no more.
Hewitt likes to play like he’s a Conservative, but he’s not really well grounded in the effort. I can’t listen to his show knowing he’ll blur the lines on Conservatism over and over again.
His question here is no more relevant because he asked, than it would have been if a rabid pro Leftist had asked it.
This was a gotcha question. You can’t win so why play the game.
Cruz was right to touch on the issues he did. God asks u to love one another. We don’t hate homosexuals.
They are sinners, in our estimation. We are all sinners in our estimation.
