Yeah, Santorum has a rather convenient habit of redefining what conservative means. Now apparently thinking the 10th Amendment means what it says makes one not conservative.

States Rights, 10th Amendment, is very important, but on all controversial things Cruz doesn’t want to answer, he has taken to using States Rights as a weasel word to get out of jail free and avoid an answer.

You know it and I know it.

Cruz has been perusing TRUMP’s past Q&A hot seat experiences, on how DJT confronts controversial questions, TRUMP being his guidepost and mentor, and now Cruz has come up with making Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

Out of the blue? Maybe not.

I have learned that TRUMP was asked about that weeks ago. I kind of remember that it rings a bell. I’m not sure TRUMP was prepared for that outlier question, but he didn’t sit there and weasel out of it.

He said he didn’t know if Israel had committed to that,
yet.

He admits to truth. He didn’t know the answer. He didn’t know if Israel had committed to the proposal.

I’m all for Jerusalem being named the capital, but I don’t know either. Further more, it rightfully should matter to me what Israel’s opinion is on the question.

Now comes Cruz being asked about queer “marriage” which can not exist, and he shoves it off on State Rights.

Weasel is as weasel does.

A little blast from the past...

Santorum says he endorsed Specter against Toomey in 2004 because of Specter pledge to back Bush Supreme Court nominees

We of course know that Specter turned DEMOCRAT not long after that.

I'll take the Founding Fathers' limited government over Santorum's Purity Police any day of the week - yes, and twice on Sunday.
