Huckabee stands by ad critical of Cruz
The Hill ^ | 12/27/2015 | David McCabe

Posted on 12/27/2015 9:04:19 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is defending an ad critical of 2016 GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) comments on same-sex marriage.

On "Fox News Sunday," the former Arkansas governor was asked whether the pro-Huckabee ad's editing was selective.

"No, not at all," Huckabee said. "And there's nothing selective, there was nothing deceptive. The point is that in Iowa he's made a major point, and he's pitched to evangelicals as a person who is utterly authentic, he's going to fight for religious liberty, he's going to protect the right of people to disagree with decisions on same-sex marriage. But that's not what you heard in that Manhattan fundraiser and that's the only thing that I have pointed out."

A super PAC called Pursuing America's Greatness recently produced the ad in Iowa, which includes audio of an exchange between Cruz and an unidentified person at a New York fundraiser. The man asks Cruz whether he views his opposition to marriage rights for same-sex couples as a "top-three priority." In the ad, Cruz is heard simply replying, "No."

But the ad drew criticism from The Washington Post, which pointed out that Cruz's comments were longer.

"No, I would say defending the Constitution is a top priority," he said in the audio, obtained by Politico and recorded at a fundraiser in New York. "And that cuts across the whole spectrum -- whether it's defending the First Amendment, defending religious liberty, stopping courts from making public policy issues that are left to the people. And I also think the 10th Amendment to the Constitution cuts across a lot of issues."

I wonder how you know that.

If you delve into her posting history, you find she’s an election year troll who last showed up in 2012 and made a habit of accusing Freepers of racism.

But she likes Clinton, so maybe she’s a universal healthcare fan, too, like you.

Since you like scripture so much, why don’t you find the one that says you should go looking for a fight with someone who is leaving you alone.

Yeah that’s what I thought. You’re too much of a coward to explain to the forum why you decided to ping me to a thread I had nothing to do with.

You’re nothing but a troll and having a good laugh at all the people who think you actually support Trump.

I hope you do not suffer a health calamity and are caught in a financial kerfuffle due to inadequate health insurance.

I do not wish that situation on my worst enemy. Every American deserves health insurance and every American should carry health insurance, same as auto driver’s insurance. Self reliance is a characteristic of real conservatives.

I am against anything run by the government, because I worked for a government funded agency for over a decade and saw the waste and inefficiency from the inside first hand. My profile explains why universal health coverage will actually be more cost effective than what we have now. That is the conservative approach.

Maybe you should ask your troll master where she was from December of 2011 till January of this year.

They couldn’t care less. As long as the person cheerleads for Trump, they can be as progressive and as obviously a troll as can be.

The troll is sitting behind its monitor, laughing its butt off at these suckers.

Still amateurish compared to the one who went 11 years without posting only to ping me and bash Heidi Cruz in a 7 month old thread.

That one deserves a medal.

LOL

And nothing was ever heard from it again. Someone popped up to defend it, I see.

She probably thought this article would hurt Cruz. She was wrong.

Given her posting history, pretty good educated guess on your part.

Given the posting history of Trump-haters, pretty good educated guess on my part that a comment like this would be posted.
