Your man Cruz assured a homosexual donor he would not fight gay marriage. And that was not 16 years ago.

Wow.

Homo “marriage” is a STATE issue...that....THAT was Mr Cruz’s point in the matter.

States rights ? surely you’ve heard of that arcane concept?

Believe it or not, the federal government is supposed to have limits on what it can legislate over the states. To only those things enumerated in the constitution. Gay marriage isn’t one of them... What isn’t in the federal government’s domain is left to the states. Cruz said it should be up to the states to decide and that it is none of the federal government’s business - which is correct.

There was a time when “conservatives” were for smaller government and restraining the federal government back to its constitutional limits. This issue is an example.

That is a lie. He said it is a state legislative issue.
