This shows that even Cruz is not a perfect conservative — even if he might well be the most conservative candidate we’ll get from the GOP.
His stance on gay “marriage” is troubling. Handing it over to the states is a cop-out. God will not be mocked. This situation requires nothing less than a Constitutional amendment to clarify the definition of marriage to be the one consistent with the Biblical worldview.
Also: Letting states to opt out of Common Core without affecting their ability to receive federal grant money is OK as far as it goes. But the real goal needs to be getting the federal government (and, eventually, state governments) out of education entirely.
I also do not think Cruz goes far enough on the subject of taxes.
You are muddled in your “requirements” for Cruz, or for a conservative candidate for President in general. On the one hand, you think that pushing the decision on “gay marriage” to the states is “cop-out” and you want the feds to mandate a behavior across the board. On the other hand, you don’t think Cruz’s wish to let states decide on common core opt-out is enough, and you want the feds totally out of education.
Do you not see the inconsistency?
And I cannot even tell what you meant by “I also do not think Cruz goes far enough on the subject of taxes.” What do you want, no taxes? Lower percentage? What? Just carping without saying why you disagree is meaningless...
“I also do not think Cruz goes far enough on the subject of taxes.”
Abolishing the IRS is pretty far, in my book. IN!
