Cruz seems to agree. He introduced legislation that recognizes any definition of marriage that the states decide to pass:

Cruz, Lee introduce ‘State Marriage Defense Act’

Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah introduced the “State Marriage Defense Act” on Wednesday. Rep. Randy Weber (R-Tex.) introduced similar legislation in the House in early January. If passed, the bill would cede marriage definition to states

In typical contrast between a conservative and a libertarian, Paul is trying to find ways to make gay marriage permanent, and Ted Cruz is seeking ways to oppose it and wound it, in the hopes of defeating it.

After he, Palin, and conservatives lost on DOMA, which Rand was on Obama’s pro-gay marriage side on, Cruz came up quickly with legislation to continue the fight.

“”Teabagger Senators Cruz & Lee Introduce Bill To Ban Feds From Recognizing Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Teabagistan) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Teabagistan) today jointly introduced a bill that limits the federal government to only recognizing same-sex marriages that are conducted legally in the state where the married couple resides. Last month a similar House bill, written by the Family Research Council, was introduced by Rep. Randy Weber.””

Paul Opposed DOMA, Cruz fought for it, and is now trying to restore much of it.

You are lying about Cruz, while Paul is coming out in support of gay marriage and calling on conservatives to stop fighting it and the GOP to drop social issues.

Cruz is doing the OPPOSITE, he is trying to get back as much DOMA as we can, Paul opposed DOMA.

Let me ask, do YOU support DOMA? Do you oppose Cruz’s bill, the new DOMA?

Your problem is that Rand Paul, and not Ted Cruz, tries to have his cake and eat it too.

He is straddling the line, badly I might add, between Libertarianism and Conservatism, trying to please both camps and failing badly.

HIs Amnesty plan, his desire to put the social issues on the back burner, his support of McConnell over Bevin all mark him as a member of the GOP-E, and not the Tea-Party.
