Have to admire Ted for sticking to his principles. Bet this is a stake through the heart of his chance for the oval office though.

No, that stake was TPP. Disappointing.

Smart guy who got hoodwinked.

I think this is going to mobilize evangelical Christians. Despite all the media propaganda, there is a majority that supports traditional marriage, across all demographics.

You need to turn off the Main Stream Media. Have you not figured out they lie about everything???

The pulse of We the People is different than what the Main Stream Media calls for.

It’s why Washington is trying to flood the people with illegal immigrants.

They KNOW they do not have the majority of the people support. So they are trying to destroy.

The following is an excerpt from Cruz’s recent NPR interview pushing his new book. The interview is great and easy yet informative reading)

http://www.npr.org/about-npr/418600824/complete-transcript-senator-ted-cruz-interview-with-npr-news

“And one of the things I talk about in the book is having been, as a grade school kid and junior high kid unpopular and then having changed my behavior to become more popular, it taught me a lesson that popularity isn’t the end-all, be-all. That what matters far more is that you stick to your principles, that you stand up and you live a life of integrity.

One of the problems in Washington — and this is something I talk about in great length in the book, “A Time for Truth” — is there are far too many politicians in Washington who desperately just want to get re-elected....

I think we are at a time of crisis, which is why — I mean, the book is entitled “A Time for Truth.” I think our nation faces enormous challenges, and we need leaders who are willing to tell the truth and do the right thing regardless of the consequences.”

People react to emotion and not the fine points of constitutional arguments, so you may be right. I recall what happened to Goldwater when he opposed the Feds imposing their civil rights views on the states. All the public was able to absorb from that was that Goldwater was a racist.
