He said he does not personally agree with it, but he thinks each State has the Right to make it Legal of not.

Which is a cop out anyway. The states rights argument on gay marriage is dead, and it's going to be deader in a few weeks. In 2015, saying he thinks each state has a right to decide is basically a way of saying he accepts or approves of gay marriage, but he's trying to let the people he perceives of as, "crazy right wingers," down easily.

or maybe he’s playing it smart by not showing all his cards before the election.
obummer lied about his real feeling on gay marriage before he got elected.
why do republicans always have to bare their soul, consequences be damned?

Stating the federalist/constitutional argument is a cop out? No wonder America is screwed.

I am always impressed when supposed conservatives don’t understand basic conservative principles.

Fact: The Constitution leaves things not in the Constitution to the states.

Fact: Marriage in any form is not in the Constitution.

Fact: it is therefor the domain of the states to do or do not as they see fit.

What part of that is wrong?

Joke post?
Exactly how do you propose that Ted Cruz stop gay marriage in a blue state like New York? Under present circumstances Ted Cruz’s position on the matter makes sense.
Meanwhile your assertion that somehow Ted Cruz secretly supports gay marriage is laughable. The gay Gestapo wouldn’t be waging an unrelenting jihad against Ted Cruz if your assertion were even remotely close to being true.

“Which is a cop out anyway.”

Bull. It IS an approach that the Federal Government MUST be limited completely and consistently.
