Ted Cruz, a Public Firebrand on Social Issues, Is Cooler When Wooing Donors

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.)

No "Body of Christ" talk from Cruz when he meets with his money men.

The fraud Cruz gets deeper. A guy with no principles should not be any where near the White House (well at least on the Republican side).

Gee, a candidate that talks about issues important to the donors when asking them for donations, instead of talking about issues they don’t care about... Horrors!

Be very careful of so called ‘conservative groups’ who fund Cruz & Rubio!

THESE are who own Marco Rubio...much of his support and funding is little more than laundered $$ from the left! The same groups that own Cruz, LEVIN and Limbaugh & Beck! THIS is all about corruption!
