...and then tells a homosexual donor that it will not be his top priority to fight...

Cruz's response was to indicate a more general priority in defending the Constitution. Are you just trying to score points are do you actually not understand?

Cruz: "No. I would say defending the Constitution is a top priority. And that cuts across the whole spectrum - whether it's defending [the] First Amendment, defending religious liberty, stopping courts from making public policy issues that are left to the people...
"I also think the 10th Amendment of the Constitution cuts across a whole lot of issues and can bring people together. People of New York may well resolve the marriage question differently than the people of Florida or Texas or Ohio....That's why we have 50 states - to allow a diversity of views. And so that is a core commitment."

Did you read Cruz’s reply to a simple question. He talked it to death. Bottom line from all that is no, he will not fight gay marriage. Actually, I think he might have said “NO” initially, anyway.

Thanks for posting that.

A radio ad from a pro-Huckabee PAC was running locally a few weeks ago. In the ad, someone asked Ted Cruz if fighting gay marriage would be a top priority. The sound bite of his response, in his own voice, ended abruptly after he said all of this: “No,”...

It was obvious that he didn’t stop there but continued by saying something Huckabee’s supporters (both of them!) didn’t want me to hear. Now I know.
