Cruz Recording About Gay Marriage Could Cause Him Political Heartburn
popherald.com ^ | DECEMBER 24

Posted on 12/23/2015 8:22:19 PM PST by Helicondelta

In the conversation with the donor, Cruz was asked if gay marriage was a top-three priority for him and he said it wasn't.

In a recording provided to POLITICO, Cruz answers a flat "No" when asked whether fighting gay marriage is a "top-three priority", an answer that pleased his socially moderate hosts but could surprise some of his evangelical backers. By late summer, she said, the River Valley Teenage Republicans were a grassroots advocacy group working to put Cruz over the top.

Or it could garner more support.

As Trump has proven time and time again.

There IS NO marriage except the standard of one woman + one man (unrelated). End of story.
All the other butt hump garbage is sin, pure and simple: Satan's play toys.

Well it isn’t a top three priority. Press is trying to stir up trouble for him

Priorities are

Immigration
Healthcare
Freedom
Second Amendment
Reversing leftism in government

among others.

Change the culture and homosexual marriage will take care of itself.

Well .. for starters, Terrorism and the Economy strike me as much more important than gay marriage.

And .. especially since Americans seem to be more concerned that they aren’t going to be shot at, blown up, or have their head cut off or burned to death.

And .. if they don’t get a handle on the economy .. it’s going to be another depression .. and that will make America weaker in the eyes of our enemies and they will figure we are ripe for the picking.

So, I’m sure there’s more .. but none of them are gay marriage.

As a Christian nation, we should not be promoting it anyway.

Not much a president can do about it at this point is there. Outside of a much needed slap down of the court by the other two branches. There is nothing that can be done.

Cruz’s answer didn’t lower homosexual marriage in priority. It was the “questioner” asking a loaded question that attempted to give the illusion of same.

I agree. How many times has this site been spammed by this poster with various versions of this non-story.

So Sen. Cruz is a constitutional conservative.

THAT’S A STORY??!!??

We are already in the eighth year of a depression. There has been no recovery at all. Look at the growth rates in the GDP now as compared to the 1930’s. They are incredibly slow now where in the early part of the thirties the growth rates where large, just not large enough to sustain a complete recovery.
