Ted Cruz sounded despondent at the possibility that same-sex marriage could become legal when he called into the radio show of Tony Perkins, a vehement opponent of gay rights, in February 2014. "Our heart weeps for the damage to traditional marriage that has been done," Mr. Cruz said, urging conservatives to pray but also to fight back. "Be as wise as serpents and gentle as doves," he said, quoting Scripture.
But seven months later, when Mr. Cruz visited the Midtown Manhattan office of a major Republican supporter of same-sex marriage, he sounded almost indifferent: If New York politicians wanted to legalize it, that was their business, he told Paul Singer, the billionaire investor who had bankrolled efforts to strike down laws forbidding same-sex marriage across the country. There was no reason the issue had to drive a wedge between the two men, the Texas senator said, according to a person briefed on the meeting who supports one of Mr. Cruz's opponents. (Mr. Singer went on to endorse Senator Marco Rubio of Florida a year later.)

Holy moly........finally a true article about Ted.
Please take article down.
Thanks
Please take down.
CRUZ IS OWNED
Why?
Because you can see him in a mirror? Then I looked closer and it’s not a mirror.
I don’t think I was supposed to post from NY Times.
Jim, This is from NY Times.com.
Will you take it down if I should not have posted it?
Count Cruz
Ted , is that you ?
I thought Cruz’s biggest donor, the one with the huge tax problem, is a full on supporter of gay marriage.
Cruz will just tell us later we weren’t supposed to actually believe him....well he may not say it out loud but he thinks he’s so much smarter and if we had half the brains he does we would know better. The smarm is deep.

I would have to agree. The only thing worse than New York homofying marriage in the state would be the Federal government telling them they couldn't. It's not a Federal matter. Let it be New York's problem that people leave the state in droves to flee the taxes, the regulations, and the sodomy. It's been happening for the past 5 years, and the state has been suffering from it financially at every turn.
Letting the states compete with each other by throwing the perverts out of office and creating a wiser, more virtuous system of laws is the only way that works under the Constitution and under human nature.
Reheated vomit.
I think excerpts are OK.
It’s good to go.
” If New York politicians wanted to legalize it, that was their business, he told Paul Singer”
That is the correct constitutional position. Gay marriage is no business of congress or the US supreme court. It is unambiguously a matter for the states. Cruz is running for President. Not for governor of NY.
It doesn’t surprise me that the NY Times does not understand the Constitutional allocation of powers between the feds and the states.
