Cruz: ‘Is there something about the left … that’s obsessed with sex?’
WashPo ^ | 5/19/2015 | Desikan Thirunarayanapuram

Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (R) hit some of his main stump points while meeting with local leaders here Tuesday afternoon — promising to defend the Constitution, step back from the Obama administration's foreign policy and promote economic growth.

Then Texas's junior U.S. senator — visiting Beaumont to meet privately with county officials and others — got in a light sparring round with reporters, mainly working on his attacks on Hillary Rodham Clinton and defending his views on same-sex marriage.

"Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz asked after fielding multiple questions on gay rights. “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.”

Cruz also said he did not think his opposition to gay marriage will hurt his chances with moderate voters.

“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC — they have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet,” Cruz told a reporter. He cited the expansion of “mandatory same-sex marriage” as an assault on religious liberty in the United States.

Cruz also got in a jab at Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal e-mail while she was the secretary of state.

“Unfortunately this pattern of deception is what we’ve come to expect from the Clintons,” Cruz said. “I think what’s most surprising is how unsurprising this is.”

Cruz again declined(snip)

That’s how you handle the radical left and their media henchmen.

He has a gift and I hope he gets to use it from the office of the White House as President.

Cruz knows exactly what the MSM's game is, and his responses show it.

That alone indicates that his IQ is at least 25 pts above the typical GOPe also-ran.

I love how he takes the issue of homosexuality and disarms the MSM with it.

Absolutely.

The leftist moles on this forum fill up many a thread drooling over imagined sexual conquests. They are mentally incapable resisting.

The left is obsessed with anything that undermines Christianity and the US.

I don’t get the whole dam thing. and never thought about being proud or embarrassed about it.
WTH is gay pride? What are they proud about. Being at best, a genetic anomaly. At worst, the victim of sexual abuse as a child

  1. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

  2. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

  3. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

  4. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” …
The Naked Communist, Chapter 12 (“Current Communist Goals”)
That is what Cruz is up against. If he keeps hammering at it, then the left cannot break him.

Isn’t that the truth!

Hollywood wouldn’t know love if it bit them on the ass.

Oh wait, that is love to them.
