Ted Cruz goes full Ted Cruz: “Is there something about the left that is obsessed with sex?”

He really wants to know! "ISIS is executing homosexuals — you want to talk about gay rights?"

Ted Cruz was at his Ted Cruz-iest today after a meeting with local officials in Beaumont, Texas.

The senator and GOP presidential candidate faced questions from reporters about gay marriage, and responded with this, according to a report in the Washington Post.

“Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?

“ISIS is executing homosexuals — you want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals — that ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.”

That was followed with a shot at MSNBC: “With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC,” he said. “They have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet.”

I like this guy. I like him a lot. He’d be a great VP with Walker as President.

I’ve been wondering about that for years.

On the other hand, what IS funny is anyone who works in a psyche ward knows, the patients are also chronically obsessed with sex.

ISIS is executing homosexuals -- Upcoming President Ted Cruz

Wow...Cruz is on fire! He's calling a spade a spade using the proper term of homosexuals instead of that ersatz word favored by the sodomites, "gay". They are depraved, twisted creatures who have hijacked the perfectly-fine word "gay", applying a demented definition to it.

And I ought to know its rightful meaning for I was in a wonderful, truly gay marriage of over 40 years until my beautiful wife (whom I courted at a Christian college -- see my About page) passed on. I hope to rejoin her in Heaven someday.

To reclaim America's culture, we must reclaim the language!

Walker, with his many changing positions and his pandering to voter groups, isn't quite ready for prime-time yet.

He would do well to be a VP under Cruz and learn to stick to one position and drop the pandering. He could learn alot from Ted on these two issues.

LOL .. Did you say “going to”

He’s already ruffled so many feathers, the GOP-e is hurriedly pushing out every Repub they can find to challenge Cruz; Hoping somebody will come along who will take Cruz out of the running.

Fortunately, it’s not working.

Most recent standing “O” - GA

Funny thing I noticed today - FOX finally showed a roster of all the Repub candidates and those who have not officially entered the race yet - and FOX finally had Cruz at the head of the pack - where he really is.

Walker has really revamped his state .. no reason to be calling him names.

In fact, Walker has managed to DESTROY the unions in his state. Amazing fete.
