Ted Cruz Is Guest of Two Gay Businessmen
The New York Times ^ | APRIL 23, 2015 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 01/11/2016 8:26:21 PM PST by gg188

Senator Ted Cruz has positioned himself as a strong opponent of same-sex marriage, urging pastors nationwide to preach in support of marriage as an institution between a man and a woman, which he said was “ordained by God.”

But on Monday night, at a reception for him at the Manhattan apartment of two prominent gay hoteliers, the Texas senator and Republican presidential hopeful struck quite a different tone.

During the gathering, according to two people present, Mr. Cruz said he would not love his daughters any differently if one of them was gay. He did not mention his opposition to same-sex marriage, saying only that marriage is an issue that should be left to the states.

No, I don’t ask you to accept me. You can detest me and my beliefs if you like. I support that.

Take care.

From the Wall Street Journal: "Sen. Cruz came into a gay household. He had a fireside chat with a gay person, bragged about how many gay friends he had, said that he wouldn't have had any problem with his daughter being a lesbian." The photo, Weiderpass says, "wasn't intended for the gay community. It was intended for the straight community--the straight community that's antigay--to see: 'What the hell is Ted Cruz--I thought he was so antigay. Why is he in a gay household having a fireside chat that's not a fundraiser?"

My wife and I are on the opposite party. We agree strongly about abortion, are sick of some of the filthy sexual deviant stuff that gets pushed in our faces when we keep our private business with discretion, etc. If there’s one way that marriage works even though both of the couple are different in political affiliation, my own family is one of those ways.

This happened over 9 months ago, so I'm not sure why it's being dredged up again.

Regardless, this was a brilliant move by Cruz. He essentially exposed the rabid hatred and will to destroy of the Gaystapo, as these hoteliers have basically been destroyed and are now pariahs in their community just for hosting Cruz.

For some reason I couldn’t post the URL of this thread into the comments of the thread we were discussing it in.

Is that Reince Priebus?

It’s not a friend of Mr. Trump.

As you can see.

Ah, so the nattering nabobs are correct, by position over the chattering class.

Well defined, I’d say- by you , cur.

The only hink- is that Mr. Trump is using their well defined kabuki separation of the Union with special interests/global corporations, to out-class these long obvious sell-outs.

What is Mr. Trump’s long term interests?

Perhaps stopping, the destruction of Our Republic?

You are doing important work here. But I’ll ‘kick the tires’ before buying this car — is it solid?

Was Cruz recorded? Record of his presence there? Or just their claim?

It would make sense. Someone dies, so they think to themselves, ‘how can we use this to make Cruz look sleazy?’

Some homosexuals like to smear their enemies with dirty tactics, like what they did to Michael Savage.

Friend, you need to follow the link. There is a photograph at the New York Time link of Cruz posing, shaking hands with one of the two gays who used to be a couple (it says) who own the large hotel company that caters to homosexuals (and the photo is taken in the apartment where the gay boy was found dead in the its bathroom three months earlier-—that is a NYT link also in the original post. The only photo link I left out was that of the gay bar where the gay hotelier picked up the soon-to-be-dead gay boy that night. Interestingly, the gay bar (in Hell’s Kitchen) closed immediately afterward. Big donors have big influence huh

No FRiend— Constitutionalists, and those who wish to break the back of the career Washington beltway bandits and their ilk, by using the Constitution and taking our government back to the State levels. Repeal of Amendment 17 for starters- elect Senators from each state by the state legislatures (which btw, conservatives control in most of the states). Just for starters. This requires something more than a hotelier/casino operator with more narcissism than the current malignant occupant of the WH.

Repeal of the 17th will come from States - over the next decade or longer. Not the POTUS.

Take a little more than an hour to research where Trump owns properties, and what he does with them, and who works for him. This is what a business person would do (and have done). Then, determine the individual’s actual political support (100K to the Clinton grifter’s foundation, and through his buddies at Golden Slacks— oh yes). Find out just WHOM he owes money to— and of course— the Atlantic City story. This vs. the Vegas Mormon bag man and obamaumao’s many trips to Vegas to collect his tribute of laundered cash, bested only by Hitlery with her “diplomatic pouch” of cash donations on her State Dept. aircraft.

As for “cur”- while lamenting that the Code Duello was outlawed in the 1840’s— give me my Catahoula’s (which are working hunting dogs and a special breed of cur) any day over the puffed hair standard hotel lobby poodle malignant narcissist (another one- obamaumao has been enough, frankly) man-child, with his documented Demonrat past (just like Perot whose party he joined in 1999 for Perot who “reinvigorated the Democrat party” such that we got the GD’d Clintons). It takes intellect to separate a demagogue from a statesman, and the chattering Bandar-log certainly haven’t the ability, even when faced with facts. Facts just never beat jingoism.

Surely you understand how a POTUS could prevent it, through judicious use of the judiciary and the the Dept. of Just-Us, and layer upon layer of impedimenta vs. an advocate in the Executive. The cartel in DC is licking each other teats— one has to pull the pigs off the sow.

Well, Thank You! It will be a huge battle to remove the Wesley Mouch(s) of the K Street lobbyist teat suckers (the impedimenta of the so-called “private/public” sector now so blurred in distinction) to return this great country to the land of opportunity for free people it was meant by the Founders to be— To earn wealth in a free society and not have it leeched from their creation for re-distribution to the turd world.

Looking at property liens, within any LLC boundaries is always non-exclusive. So what?

You are possibly subtracting full market interests, from a non-sum management “chic.”

The obvious go along, with the political “fat wood”, to pursue business.

Mr. Donald Trump has not hurt any working man, by his dealings with the swine class.

By the by, my next dog is a Catahoula.

I appreciate your response. Take good care.
