Ted Cruz Ping! If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
CRUZ or LOSE!
Cruz is right, but I still think he should take a stand.
The short audio clip contains only the two questions and Cruz's responses that are mentioned in the article at top.
Did I miss Hillary’s answer to the question?
A: Dunno. Open bar?
(Everyone chuckles)
A: ...but thanks for asking... OK, anyone with a policy question?
I can think of no issue more important to myself and this great country than who is willing to attend, or not attend, a fake wedding.
My response would be: THIS is the question you’ve chosen to ask me? Look around you and look around the world. Then tell me that THIS is the most important issue you can ask about. There are people dying in foreign countries. There are terrorists seeking our destruction. Government is full of bureaucrats wasting tax dollars confiscated from our citizens. Unemployment is rampant, despite the statistics. You could have even asked about so-called Global Warming. But you ask about attending a gay “wedding”? I’ll answer that question if and when the issue ever arises in my personal life, but I am too busy trying to figure out the issues that truly threaten and concern Americans. Next question.
If Cruz “takes a stand”, as you put it, he will lose.
Oh how cool, how hip, how in.
Which RINO can out-gay the other RINO?
Which RINO can show they embrace tolerance and diversity more than the other RINO?
Well they are really showing their colors... which RINO can be the brightest rainbow and outshine the other RINO?
Too funny.
Soon it will be a hate crime not to attend a gay wedding, so the issue will go away......
Sorry, but that is a totally irrelevant question. I don’t care what each candidate would do as a private citizen. I am interested in seeing whether they care enough about freedom of conscience to work toward putting in laws in place that at least allow people who defend themselves in court (not necessarily a guarantee) when they feel their conscience dictates a certain course of action that doesn’t directly hurt someone else.
Only Santorum is right.
Easy: “There’s no such thing as “ghey weddings”.
;’)
**Then he addressed the direct question: Would he attend a gay “marriage” ceremony?
“No, I would not,” he replied curtly. When asked why not, he said, “As a person of my faith, that would be something that would be a violation of my faith. I would love them and support them, but I would not participate in that ceremony.”**
Santorum bump.
Ted Cruz Ping! These are all great posts. I hope the candidates (or their flunkies) are reading this thread.
The game needs to be changed. Therefore, we need a game changer as the conservative candidate.
Cruz ain’t playin’ the media gotcha game.
So for instance:
My initial reaction upon being presented with such a question would be to say “absolutely not, I would not attend a gay “wedding”
BUT, that's because in my mind when I hypothetically imagine a gay “wedding” I imagine a religious ceremony occurring within a Church being bless by God. And since I would consider thing a thing sacrilegious, I could never participate in such an event any more than I would attend a “black mass”
That's just what pops into MY head initially when I imagine the hypothetical.
But, that's just what's in MY head.
Every single person who hears the question and hears the answer may be imagining a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT situation.
Maybe they are imagining a civil ceremony occurring at a courthouse in front of a judge of a son or daughter, which would (in my opinion) be an entirely different matter.
This is an idiotic litmus test not unlike the boxer/briefs inquiry.
