“That's part of the 'gotcha' game that the mainstream media plays, where they come after Republicans on every front, and it's designed to caricature Republicans to make them look stupid or evil or crazy or extreme,” he said. “Sadly, most media players are not actual, objective journalists. They're active partisan players.”

Cruz is right, but I still think he should take a stand.

Rush was going on about this yesterday. There is no right answer for the audiences of these gotcha leftists. The whole point is to ask “when did you stop beating your wife?” type questions on national TV. In that headline only one person handled it correctly.

Just another way to make people that are running against the ‘old hag’ look bad and msm is going to carry buckets of water for her....

You remember some years back there was a story about why Billy Boy couldn’t keep his zipper up, it was because his wife liked her kind not his....don’t know if it was true or not, just saying....

If the question was asked in good faith, yes. But we all know what game is being played here.

No!! not stand!!! you KNOW in your heart what he wants. I wouldn’t care if he said he wanted to make out with Lindsy Graham, though I might vomit if he said Barney Frank. People we know what he thinks in his heart and what he would do about this and illegals. Let him obfuscate, tel a “fib”, whatever, as long as he wins. Like Obummer did with gay marriage. Dems were smart enough to know what he was gonna o and voted for him. We have to wise up.
I know, I know, it is undignified and dirty way to fight.
How about the alternative. A nuclear wasteland in one of the states, Christians being put in jail for not supporting gay marriage and much worse.

He should also work in the idea that these “gotcha” questions aren’t just political,
but they are an inherent secular humanist religious test for qualification to office.

Basically, the media are doing a religious test to disqualify those “not of the faith” of Humanism.

I would just just say nothing. Why take a stand on their loaded question?

The best move is not to play the game.

He did—by not saying, “Nope, I wouldn’t attend a loved-one’s gay wedding.”

And good for him.

I’m not sure I understand the “were you ever” angle. I couldn’t care less what somebody thought ten or twenty years ago. It’s today and next year that I want to know about.

Don’t answer this question and ask why is the government promoting such a risky behavior?

Pray America is waking

The headline is misleading.

Walker did not attend a “gay wedding.”

The correct terminology should be “homosexual fake marriage”.

It’s not gay. It isn’t real. And it certainly has nothing to do with the union of one man and one woman.

He called reporters “the praetorian guard protecting the Obama administration” now gearing up to campaign for Hillary Clinton.

Lol, Cruz is the best wordsmith conservatives have. keep the hits coming Ted.

Cruz is right, but I still think he should take a stand.

He did - he took a stand on the only part of the question that would be affected by him being elected president.

The media is focusing on whether the candidates would attend a homosexual "wedding" because if they say they will, it allows the media to portray them as hypocrites for opposing same-sex marriages in general; or if they say they won't, it allows the media to portray them as being heartless ideologues who care less about their friends and family than they do about their "extremist" political or religious policies.

Cruz is focusing on the issue truly at stake in regard to this question: who gets to decide what constitutes a legal marriage? Is it the states, as has been the case in this country since its founding? Or do unelected federal judges have the right to ignore the Constitution and overthrow the decisions made by the states and the people?

If Walker hasn’t attended a gay wedding, why does this Christian site say that he has, when they know it isn’t the truth?

If he took a stand, he’d be like every other sucker the GOP has put up in the last 40 years. Reagan was the only other one who wasn’t a sucker, and he did exactly what Cruz is doing.
