See the video above. This will certainly be in a Hillary attack ad if Cruz somehow becomes the nominee. He hasn't gone through 1% of the vetting Trump has with the media.

I bet Cruz never planned to win the primary and I also bet his only ‘assignment’ is to lock in the voters who hear the word Jesus and nothing else matters.
Game, set, match for GOPe......AGAIN.
“On the other hand, the mention of the name, Ted Cruz, sends them into paroxyms of panic and flurry.”
I’d also like to add that we don’t have Kasich and Rubio supporters posting here. There’s nobody to argue with. When there’s an anti-Rubio article, the board turns into an echo chamber of agreement.
If Rubio had a strong representation on FR, we’d be laying into them, too.
So, do you believe the Bible is the Word of God and should be followed? Yes or no?
My follow up question is this: If so many Christians believe the Bible says that, unerringly, why aren’t all committed Christians out murdering gays?
It was a religious liberty conference, not a “kill the gays” conference. Did you watch the video? Swanson is speaking about being able to recite what the Bible says without fear of being hauled in on charges of hate speech, which is in fact happening in other countries. I admire his passion for freedom. Folks may be uncomfortable with the fact that under Moses homosexuality was indeed a capital offense. But Swanson and any other believer has a right to say that because it is what the Bible teaches on the subject, in the context of God’s law for the nation Israel.
Obviously, a thorough teaching of Scripture will not stop there but take us into the New Testament teaching that we are still obligated to obey God above all others and so these things are still sin, whether a civil government condemns them or not, but also that we have no permission to be vigilantes and must subject ourselves to the civil authority as far as possible, and even more importantly that God can redeem anyone, no matter how bad their sins may be.
So the passion you’re seeing in the video is about the freedom to teach what the Bible teaches. That’s a good thing and Ted can and should get behind any effort to defend such freedom. Ted’s got a good grasp of federalism. Religious liberty is one thing a President can really get behind. Becoming a private morality cop for the individual states is not part of the job description. I’d like that in a president.

Lol. Watch the video. It was immediately after he finished speaking.
So what your saying is because some a-holes support Cruz, that makes Cruz bad? No one supporting Trump is bad? His past support of liberals and democrats doesn’t somehow carry the same weight?
I don’t understand.
First, I never said Jindal endorsed him. Second, I had seen where Huckabee has attended several Trump rallies and I made an assumption that he had endorsed him. I see that he hasn’t.
If Cruz said that during the interview, I’d be cool with that. But he said I don’t know what he said. No American is going to believe that.
Jake said this guy said to kill gays. Cruz hadn’t heard that and said that.
What’s the problem?
That law was given by direct revelation to the Israeli theocracy, and yes it was the right thing to do under that jurisdiction, hard as that is for moderns to swallow. But the Church is a spiritual creation, not a physical nation, and as Jesus said, his kingdom is not of this world. This is the New Covenant, not the Old. We do NOT wield a sword against sinners for private sins, only against those who by their public wrongdoing make civil life impossible because they have wandered too far from the universals of natural law, i.e., law that everybody gets whether they believe the Bible or not, like laws against murder, theft, etc.
Peace,

Ted Cruz HAS the charm of Barry Goldwater, the ethics of Richard Nixon, the backbone of Mitt Romney and GOPe connections of Jeb Bush.
Not trolling you here, how and where did Cruz “smear” Trump re: taxes? I saw Romney’s nonsense, but have not seen anything similar from the Cruz camp.
Link would be appreciated.
FRegards, A
No, what I see is a chopped up video built to make Cruz look bad. Yep he was introduced by this guy who has quoted what the bible says about gays.
I won’t be fooled by smear videos.
Perhaps instead of telling others what to do, you should first get the log out of your own eye.
I'm pretty sure when he said the MSM is holding back info on Trump, he really meant himself.
They (MSM) has been trying to get people in Trump's life to trash him and they can't find anyone.....even his butler speaks highly of him. Not so with Cruz. Almost everyone that's had dealing with Cruz can't stand the guy.
Cruz is looking pretty creepy, day after day after day....
Not really.
For all but one of his nine cases before the nations highest court, Cruz represented the state of Texas as its solicitor general.
Over nine trips to the Supreme Court, Cruz clearly lost four cases and won two. The other three rulings were less clear-cut.
Five cases involved the death penalty. One dealt with Texas intense efforts to keep a calculator thief behind bars despite flagrant errors in sentencing. Another was essentially a patent fight over a deep fat fryer.
1. Medicaid funding Frew v. Hawkins Oct. 7, 2003 Lost the case
2. Sentencing error Dretke v. Haley March 2, 2004 Lost and case returned to lower court.
Despicable to fight all the way to the Supreme court
to avoid admitting a miscarriage of justice for a petty thief.
3 & 4. U.S. sovereignty Medellín v. Dretke March 28, 2005
Medellín v. Texas Oct. 10, 2007 On the second try Cruz won the right to execute a non US national after the Mexican Government and President Bush had requested a chance for review since there had been violations of the prisoner’s rights.
5. Redistricting League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry March 1, 2006 Defending redistricting plan.
6. Sentencing error Smith v. Texas Jan. 17, 2007 another fight to avoid justice Lost this case
7. Death penalty for mentally ill Panetti v. Quarterman April 18, 2007 Lost and case returned to lower court.
8. Death Penalty for Child Rapists Kennedy v. Louisiana April 16, 2008 Lost the case
9.Patent infringement Global-Tech Appliances v. SEB S.A. Feb. 23, 2011 Cruz won the patent infringement case agains Global for deep fryers.
So in which of these cases did Ted fight to keep big government out of private lives?
Since when are FReepers afraid of a crowd of rabid homos?
Or any kind of Homos?
Or give a toss what any of the rabid homos say or think?
And while I grow weary of pointing it out, Cruz did not “side” with the Bernie Brownshirts, and repeating that lie will not make it true, regardless of how many times, or how many FR accounts repeat it.
That symposium was not a “Kill the Gays” meeting and came absolutely nowhere close to that.
I am a Trump supporter and I am appalled we are posting overt lies as truth on Free Republic.
