Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz made a campaign stop in Beaumont, TX on Tuesday, May 19. He was asked repeatedly by Kevin Steele from KMBT-TV about the issue of gay marriage, to which Cruz responds by turning the tables. (via Joe Walsh)
SEN. TED CRUZ: Let me ask a question: Is there something about the left, and I am going to put the media in this category, that is obsessed with sex? Why is it the only question you want to ask concerns homosexuals? Okay, you can ask those questions over and over and over again. I recognize that you're reading questions from MSNBC...
You're wincing. You don't want to talk about foreign policy. I recognize you want to ask another question about gay rights. Well, you know. ISIS is executing homosexuals. You want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals. That ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.
REPORTER: Do you have a personal animosity against gay Americans?
CRUZ: Do you have a personal animosity against Christians sir?[continued]

The media have lots of uncomfortable questions waiting for Cruz or any Republican candidate. Their favorite type of question is the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” question designed to make a candidate look bad whether he says yes or no. They have plenty of time to think up these tricky questions and a whole committee of staffers to do it not excluding some long distance help from the White House, Democrat National Committee or any other kind of commie radical group.
I'll say the same to a lesser extent of Paul, Walker and Rubio. There's a new breed of younger Republicans who have been taking notes and learning from the past mistakes of others and the media doesn't know what to make of this.
Has Rush ever endorsed a primary candidate?
I was shocked to hear that Angie’s List got on the bully list against the state of Indiana for supporting religious freedom. I clearly remember that Angie’s List was one of the corporations that vowed to not do business with Indiana. Now I notice that Angie’s List is on this wmd page. She has some nerve. I hope that wmd kicks her off their advertisers.
There were quite a few corporations that went on the attack against Indiana but I do not remember their names. But I do remember Angie’s List. What a witch.
I pointed out the hypocrisy at work when the President of the company published a company newsletter saying they’d weighed in on the Indiana RFPA law debate, implying they’d move thousands of jobs over this, while we celebrated contracts with Saudi Arabia, which kills homosexuals.
No. Sigh. He has some rule that he won’t do that because it might diminish the actual candidate if he says something against them.
Makes sense under most circumstances. But this time I think the state of the country AND the backstabbing by RINOs has gotten to the point and getting the right candidate is crucial.
