Cruz: ‘Is there something about the left … that’s obsessed with sex?’
WashPo ^ | 5/19/2015 | Desikan Thirunarayanapuram

Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (R) hit some of his main stump points while meeting with local leaders here Tuesday afternoon — promising to defend the Constitution, step back from the Obama administration's foreign policy and promote economic growth.

Then Texas's junior U.S. senator — visiting Beaumont to meet privately with county officials and others — got in a light sparring round with reporters, mainly working on his attacks on Hillary Rodham Clinton and defending his views on same-sex marriage.

"Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz asked after fielding multiple questions on gay rights. “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.”

Cruz also said he did not think his opposition to gay marriage will hurt his chances with moderate voters.

“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC — they have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet,” Cruz told a reporter. He cited the expansion of “mandatory same-sex marriage” as an assault on religious liberty in the United States.

Cruz also got in a jab at Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal e-mail while she was the secretary of state.

“Unfortunately this pattern of deception is what we’ve come to expect from the Clintons,” Cruz said. “I think what’s most surprising is how unsurprising this is.”

Cruz again declined(snip)

There sure is.

Consider your average liberal male and your average liberal female.

Why would a normal heterosexual person ever want to be around a liberal member of the opposite sex? As Jimmy Fallon would say, "EW, ... just Ew!'

Then Texas's junior U.S. senator

How's come they never referred to Hillary as the "junior senator" from New York?

Anytime the lame stream media tries to bring up some fake “war on women” he needs to remind them that they didn’t seem very concerned about women when Bill was raping anyone within reach, and Hillary was helping cover it up!

He's right, of course. The Left uses sex and race to undermine civil life in America.

Ted Cruz does have a way of telling it exactly as it is without any pretensions or equivocations.

”… — you want to talk about gay rights?"

I think that PC, constitutionally unenumerated gay “rights” would be a better way to say it.

Never saw a genuineLliberal female really worth a damn in the sack. Or anywhere else for that matter. Healthy Liberal men are responsible for more erectile dysfunction medication sales than conservative or even moderates that actually have a legit issue.

That says a lot on it’s own. they pretty much need ED drugs to do Liberal women from a lack of enthusiasm for sex and ability to perform on both parts.

Not hard to do really. Half of FR can do that. But he does do it with style ;)

That’s what I like about Cruz — it’s just nice to hear someone speak the truth out loud for a change and make it stick.

“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC — they have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet,” Cruz told a reporter.

I like that so much I thought I'd repeat it. The answer to the question Cruz asked is "Yes, certainly," because the Left has declared victory on the issue and can't believe the rest of aren't willing to bow down and kiss the... Yes, well, in other news...

WaPo is horrified, but to me it’s just an observation of the obvious.
