So how much money did he get from them?

[Aria]

I don’t care. If they support Cruz then they must agree with me more than a whole slew of straight Hillary supporters.

Good ole Allahpundit. Doing his best to Rino everything up.

My neighbor are lesbians (both were married with abusive husbands) and the landlord of my office is gay. Their are conservative.

“Are these gay men out shoving gay down other peoples throats?”

I’m sure they would like to.........

"Are these gay men out shoving gay down other peoples throats?"

That depends on whether or not they're supporting politicians or influencing politics.

That Cruz, if elected, will try to be President for all Americans I have no doubt or problem with... but it is choice whose homes to visit and make part of his campaign, This was a boo-boo (one of very few for Cruz so far, but nevertheless a mistake)

Call me Cynical, but I suspect he is blowing a dog-whistle for all the gays. He's letting them know that despite his rhetoric, he's not going to be their enemy.

Just a guess, but the guy strikes me as shrewd.

It is a booboo? Really?

[ExCTCitizen]

Jeez...he was at a fund raiser at a gay couple’s house. I mean, Cruz, wasn’t at a NAMBLA meeting. I have gay friends and I don’t care for homosexuality.

[Nifster]

I stand with Ted

Don’t care about this article

I’m for Cruz all the way—I have met and spent some time with him, and I’m convinced he’s the real deal.

The president should be the president of all the citizens of the USA—not just certain groups who share or don’t share his beliefs.

Ok then. We thought it was unnecessary “ bad optics” but will quiet down about it. Thanks

ALINSKY RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

(This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

We thought it was unnecessary bad optics, as they say. But okay. Apparently others didn’t see it that way. We will quiet for. Thanks

He is very shrewd or smart. And quick too. Lots of positive characteristics so far.

[Aria]

It would be nice to try and make the rats live up to their rules....not that they have any other than lie and steal whatever you can.

I guess this doesn’t bother me any more than it bothered me that Scott Walker said he attended a gay wedding. If they start talking about legalizing gay marriage or that gays have special rights then I’ll be concerned.

This isn’t the first time Cruz has gone into the belly of the beast. He has been booed at events for saying what he believes knowing it will not be popular.

He spoke at a Middle East Conference of Christians and was booed for making statements supporting Israel. He spoke of his non-support for ethanol in Iowa. I myself question why conservative candidates go on liberal talk shows to be interviewed. But they do.

There are Gays who are Constitutional Conservatives and I’m glad they are helping Sen Cruz fundraise.

Leftists really do not understand the concept of love the sinner and hate the sin.

I was thinking the same thing.

The NYTs must really hate gays to expose them to the wrath of the PROGS.
