CRUZ 2016!
Oy. This will doom his already 3% polling. Of all the issues to go big stick on. Gay marriage is toothpaste that is never going back into the tube. How I wish he could be perceived by a wider audience as right for the country. This cements him in front of the palinization wood chipper. Wish I could be wrong.
It seems his advanced Ivy League degrees are not helping him get out in front of the media who have nearly completed their boxing him into the “different from you crazy right wing freak” category.
I am for states rights too but this was not the issue to go big on for a candidate. We have to kill the media to win, and instead we are feeding them.
Traditional marriage has 3 pillars:
1) It is permanent. IF divorce is permitted at all, it can only be obtained from a neutral fact-finder for serious breaches of contract. It can NEVER be obtained through the will of one party over the objections of the other.
2) Adultery is a criminal offense and reprisal belongs to the ruler (in the US, the state).
3) In the event of marital separation, children remain in the custody of their father.
THAT is what traditional marriage is. It is illegal in all 50 states. The first law deconstructing traditional marriage was passed in California with heavy Republican support and signed by a Republican governor.
I wont vote for anyone but Cruz. Go ahead, call me a purist.
