Does Rush or many of Cruz’s supporters know this......

http://www.texasmonthly.com/burka-blog/ted-cruzs-gay-marriage-money/

“One of the first things Cruz may have to do on the campaign trail is explain to his social conservative base why in 2009, while preparing to run for state attorney general, he took more than $250,000 in campaign funds from out-of-state investment bankers who supported legalizing gay marriage.”

That’s the stuff they were too busy building the “legend of Cruz” to care about.

I know that he supposedly memorized the constitution at 13, but this stuff never came up.

But they think it’s mean to mention it now. His evangelical supporters are the types that will peel off with news like that because so much of it was keep under the rug until now.

Just like they did with the Bush DUI story.

Any evidence there was a quid-pro-quo?

What's the f*cking point of the innuendo here?

I'll vote for either Trump or Cruz as the GOP nominee but some of the Trumpbot posts on FR are ridiculous.

I heard that Cruz once attended a church where the son of the assistant Pastor supported gay marriage.

Shockingly poor judgement!

Absolutely shocking!!

That was in 2009. Has he Changed his stance and supported gay marriage? No. He states his views and you can support him or not. He obviously doesn’t change his world view 180 degrees like another candidate in the race.

He accepted a large donation and couldn’t be bought off with it. Is that supposed to be scandalous?
