The way you describe him, he sounds like a democrat. You really should approve.

No, he sounds like he's full of crap which is both Republicans and Democrats these days.

But being that in another thread you've alleged I've consistently said things without supplying any support remotely close to factual I'd say your credibility is close to zero anyway, eh?

Well you can't run on a social issues platform and not expect the media to question you about it. The ISIS issue is a non-starter unless you can somehow ferret out a media outlet that thinks that ISIS is a wonderful thing to behold. Everyone at some level is alarmed by ISIS. Now if Cruz wants to take ISIS front and center of his campaign, I think the questions will follow. Until then he reminds me of Charles During in the Best Little ***** House in Texas.

He DID answer the question! "He said "I'm a Christian. Scripture commands me to love everyone." So the answer to that vapid question is "no".

That reporter is trying to elicit a response that Cruz hates the less than 1% of the population so the can scream about it.

MAN!!! I have been waiting forever for a GOP candidate this intellectually sharp!! HIS RESPONSE WAS SO INCREDIBLE!!

He took that stupid question and threw it back!!

Cruz is my new hero!
I love at how 8 seconds into it he says "Why are the Left & the media obsessed with sex?"
Has he forgotten Republicans , Newt and the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Oh and Mr. Cruz the topic was gay Americans not "Sex".

Cruz is sick of hearing questions for which the answer is so painfully obvious--he's a hateful right-winger.

Cruz: "What I am saying is that when a mayor of a city chooses twice to march in a parade celebrating gay pride, that’s a statement - and it’s not a statement I agree with.”

Forget same-sex marriage, Cruz doesn't like gay pride parades. He's a typical bigot hiding behind his religion.

The activist reporter found out quickly, why no one wants to debate the guy. Even efforts to marginalize him, have turned just the opposite and empowered him greater in the eyes, of honest American people.
