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 weve come to expect from the Clintons, Cruz said. I think whats most surprising is how unsurprising this is.
Cruz again declined(snip)

Wow so well said. A touch of the reality America has lost.
Indeed. That way lies the path to victory for us all.
CJ, he makes it soooo easy to support him.
The United States of Sodom, The Walking Groin.
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!'

OMG . He almost did what Rush said he wished a gop candidate would do yesterday. Love love love it.
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!
Ted Cruz does have a way of telling it exactly as it is without any pretensions or equivocations.
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.
Cruz humiliates the MSM in his sleep : )
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.
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...
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.
LOL!
+1
Ted is the only candidate that I will vote for. Period.
Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~
WaPo is horrified, but to me it’s just an observation of the obvious.
