I’ve been parking my shoes next to the same bed for thirty years, and got tired pretty quick of Cruz’s constant preaching and “I’m a Christian first, American second.”
I got my fill of sanctimonous, ‘fundamentalist’ Gantry stuff like that when I wore a younger man’s clothes. Knew a deacon, married, four kids, he had girlfriends, saw pros. Wife divorced him flat.
Like a lot here I’ve enjoyed seeing Cruz hoisted on his own petard, because I hate hypocrisy, a type of lie, but have been patiently waiting for a flat denial. His position is starting to look like a tacit admission or maybe what they called about 1974: a ‘modified limited hangout’; anyway, it doesn’t look like he’s going perjure himself in the court of public opinion.
He’s looking more done every day.
That one American Spectator article floated the idea that he's privately irreligious, which makes sense. I mean, a millionaire who gives less than 1% of his income to charity???? How's that for "devout" Christianity? Of course, apparently Rick Santorum only gave about 2% according to his tax returns a few years ago, which was also pathetic.

Love it!
This Watergate era gem was followed by another classic line, when John Ehrlichman described the report Dean would prepare for Congress with the immortal words: “And the report says, ‘Nobody was involved.’”
To me, the hypocrisy is the story. Cruz followers that were painting him as so much moral than Trump did not do him any favors either. I think Cruz encouraged that reputation.
It’s the hypocrisy.
