What Ted Cruz stated behind closed doors

In the conversation with the donor, Cruz was asked if gay marriage was a top-three priority for him and he said it wasn’t.

DONOR: “Can I ask you a question?” But, as Politico reports, Cruz seemed to soften that stance a bit in front of a Manhattan crowd by saying that the states should handle the issue individually.

This is a common talking point for spineless opportunists who are afraid of alienating potential supporters by actually having, you know, convictions.

It’s becoming even clearer what rising GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz values above all.

NOM president Brian Brown, however, appeared utterly unconcerned about Cruz’s commitment to defending traditional marriage.

Questioner: So would you say it’s like a top-three priority for you – fighting gay marriage? “If someone wants to change the marriage laws of their state, the way to do so is convince your fellow citizens – and change them democratically, rather than five unelected judges”. “So that I’m very devoted to”. ‘And that cuts across the whole spectrum – whether it’s defending (the) First Amendment, defending religious liberty, stopping courts from making public policy issues that are left to the people’.

Ted Cruz’s top priority has always been advancing his own career, so it isn’t much of a surprise that the positions that he is selling Iowa, New Hampshire, and SC aren’t the same as what he is telling people behind closed doors. “Some states have made decisions the other way”.

“I also think the 10th Amendment of the Constitution cuts across a whole lot of issues and can bring people together. I wonder how Dr. James Dobson, Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage and Bob Vander Plaats of the Iowa FAMiLY Leader feel about this…” That editorial aligned perfectly with Cruz’s rhetoric at the fundraiser, and elsewhere.

But, as Mike Allen at Politico reported on Wednesday, Ted Cruz drops the medieval crusader act behind closed doors when meeting with funders that are more interested in tax breaks than forcibly divorcing happy couples. Though he’s grown his evangelical and tea bagger base because of his outrageous and vocal opposition to marriage equality, when in front of a pro-gay GOP donor at a recent Manhattan fundraiser, Cruz chose to play both sides in order to not put the donation at risk.
