TED CRUZ DEFENDS GUN RIGHTS IN IOWA

During a June 19 town hall meeting in Red Oak, Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) defended gun rights and suggested Iowans define gun control the same way Texans do–namely, as “hitting what you aim at.”

Besides defending gun rights, Cruz also told the Iowa crowd how much his wife, Heidi, loved shooting machine guns with him at an earlier campaign event in a another state.

The Huffington Post reported on the Iowa event by pointing out that Cruz “did not mention the mass shooting [in Charleston] during the town hall meeting.” But after the event, he did talk to reporters about the tragedy, saying:

It appears to be racially driven from what it was reported this strange man said, and a racial hate crime is horrific, any hate crime is horrific. I don’t think we should be using this tragedy to try and divide people and to try and seek partisan advantage. I think we should be praying for those who lost loved ones in this horrific murder.

He then pointed to the Democrats’ propensity to seize on a tragedy for political gain. He said, “I’ll tell you, it’s reminiscent of Rahm Emanuel who said you can never let a good crisis go to waste.”

On June 20 Cruz had a campaign event “at an indoor shooting range in Johnston, [Iowa].” There he called again for a defense of the Second Amendment and said, “There’s a famous saying, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.”

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I’m sure like most elites Senator Rafael Cruz just loves gun rights for himself and wife Heidi Goldman Sachs.

However, he also loves selling out gun rights for the masses as exhibited by his promotion of fast track authority for Obama to enter into international agreements that restrict or ban import of weapons and ammo as well as regulation gun ownership as a health and safety issue.

Hey, you got a stalker. LOL.

There shouldn’t be any such thing as a “hate crime.” A crime is a crime, no matter what any perpetrator did whatever to any victim.

[thefactor]

To classify something as a “hate crime” means that the opposite exists, i.e., an “I really like you crime.”

A crime of passion?

[thefactor]

During a crime of passion, I'm sure more often than not the emotion of hate is going through the perps body during the commission of the crime.

I'm not sure what kind of crime happens when the perp is feeling love for their victim. Maybe a crime of mercy such as killing a family member who's suffering a terminal disease.

If you don’t like Ted Cruz, then don’t comment on pages that concern him.

I believe the “stalkers” are Paul supporters, this is reminiscent of the Ron Paul campaign against Newt.

So Cruz can't be criticized on the merits at FR?

When did Jim Robinson annoint you as censor?

He didn't?

Oh. Then p*ss off.

Perhaps some, but a good many of them are Walker supporters.

Ted Cruz REMAINS the only true Conservative in this race.

~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~
