The beliefs stated by (future president) Ted Cruz were honest and I would imagine his outlook. I myself am in favor of a civil union for those outside of a heterosexual marriage so as to be able to operate within the court system when they break apart and start screaming about who gets what.....but with that I DO NOT believe lesbians or just plain fags should raise children that were not theirs prior to the union....I have never felt so strongly about an individual running for the presidency since Reagan ran....I was just 18 and was excited...I hope the busy American public gets the same feeling with this great candidate.

Grandmaster Cruz— don’t think this was an accident!
********************

From the NY Times:

“Nobody was better at setting traps,” said Austan D. Goolsbee, a Yale debater who became a leading economist for President Obama. He recalled Mr. Cruz’s attempts to control debates with carefully constructed arguments that always seemed to anticipate his opponents’ rebuttals.:

‘Rainbow Jihad’

Don’t remember seeing that before, but I like it!

“...Silence is not a neutral position. It is complicit. This is not about partisan politics or punishment. This is about doing what’s right to ultimately ensure that our commitment to the men, women and children we serve cannot be questioned.”

so...

anyone who runs for president is forced with either accepting the full gay agenda without question or reservation as defined by a little known NYC nightclub Broadway Bares

http://www.broadwaybares.com/solostrip.html

or be condemned as anti gay and boycotted.

And this “cannot be questioned.”

IMHO they are being a bit hysterical, if that is physiologically possible. And Cruz was not “silent”— he was willing to talk. Neither was Reisner and Weiderpass silent. These guys are intolerant ideologues who apparently like the sound of their own voices drowning out everyone else. Hopefully folks like Cruz will allow others to see them for what they are.

[[I thought she once said she had a Jewish ancestor lol. Could be wrong, usually am.]]

I think she said she was in a helicopter and came under heavy fire from Jews, bullets whizzing through the cabin, one hitting her pilot who had to make an emergency landing, and they had to make a run for it to safety down a gopher hole where she bumped into brian williams

The article said ... “I’m not sure where their intolerance leads,” said Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler. “Are they going to boycott TV networks and their advertisers that interview Ted Cruz? Book stores that sell his books? How about the hotels that host his events. Where does it end?”

— — —

I’m glad to see Cruz working to end this kind of extreme intolerance, with both sides, against the other. This kind of extreme intolerance simply fragments us all.

Good for Cruz!

This is brilliant politics by Cruz. He is making the gay boycotters look like the intolerant bullies they are.

Gay people hysterical? Say it aint so Joe

[[Neither was Reisner and Weiderpass silent. These guys are intolerant ideologues who apparently like the sound of their own voices drowning out everyone else. Hopefully folks like Cruz will allow others to see them for what they are.]]

I thought reisner was an advisor for Cruz on middle east stuff?

From previous thread about the meeting:

“Mr. Reisner and Kalman Sporn, who advises Mr. Cruz’s Middle East team “

Unless I’m reading that wrong?

Great article! The irony of the situation is delightful. I was LOL reading the article as Ted Cruz has the intolerant LGBT wolves chewing off their own legs.

I think you're correct. This was intentional strategy on the part of Cruz to show a conservative works with others on issues they share in common without compromising principles elsewhere. The LGBT storm troopers reacted exactly as Cruz expected against his hosts for the meeting and now he is seen in the role of their defender. Priceless!

POW!

“I know it’s been a long time since we’ve seen it, but this is what it means to truly be a ‘big tent Republican’ instead of a panderer,” said Cruz.

It’s a big clique mentality belief that if you are homosexual you also somehow also follow with the left on about every issue without question, although there have been exceptions, such as Tammy Bruce (very pro-gun).

"Far too many have thus far not fully come to grips with the sort of candidate Mr Cruz is."

Mr. Cruz is dangerous. I'm lovin' it.
