reporter kevin steele of Beaumont Texas

[ralph]

and Ted Cruz --- http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ted ... EFABF3D31D --- looks good to me !!

[grouchy]

Current Senator Cruz is not someone that should be our President.

[planosteve]

Answering a question with a question is about the oldest way to dodge a question there is.

[Red Oak]

Whether Cruz should be President is beside the point, that Pro-Sodomite Idiot with his badgering question is a fine example of what is wrong with the DNC Media and the fools that pay attention to them.

[ralph]

I thought that Ted did fine , I liked the way he answered the reporter !! He's about / maybe the only repub that I'll vote for !!

[BigTex]

He may have copped an attitude with the reporter, but as far as I can tell he answered the question.

[Red Oak]

CDS clouds their brains.

[ralph]

CDS , I like it , if Ted ever makes it to where he and I want , well heads will be exploding !!

[ralph]

and sure , TED got an attitude with the reporter , hope that he does that a lot more . Put 'kevin steele' in his place and Teds attitude was understandable in my opinion .

[planosteve]

Since the video doesn't start with Steele's question or questions we can only guess what it was or judge whether it was appropriate or not.
Why is asking a Senator a question about a bill that he introduced that is about marriage, "sex obsessed"?
Why is repeating a question to a Congress person when they have previously dodged or ignored it wrong? I'm assuming that was the case.
What difference doest it make if the question came from MSNBC or not?

[ann jusko]

Because he asked the question so many times! Ted Cruz does know the constitution and he did state that the constitution should be followed. The constitution on this question is pretty plain...states rights, not some judge (which has happened over and over). I want our constitution followed to the letter. It IS a "state's choice".

So Grouchy, which candidate do you favor? I'll tell you right up front....I'm a Cruz voter. But we do have some others that might do well in office. Instead of calling names (puissant) give us your reasons.

[planosteve]

If Cruz doesn't think the Fed govt. has any business interfering with marriage, he should be advocating repeal of a lot of legisltation
which treats single and married people differently like the married couple income tax advantage. In fact he should be calling for the
repeal of the Federal income tax since it 's not authorized by the constitution. Instead, he prefers to grandstand on a minor issue like this.

Ann, I will do that. I am on a kindle right now and I would prefer to give a detailed response from a laptop. I will try to provide links to the things I have seen that trouble me about Senator Cruz. I rather doubt that the things about him that trouble me will sway your support for him, but it should be an interest interesting exchange.

TED didn't do the grandstanding Steve , reporter tried to Grandstand and good old TED put him in his place . I like that way he did it as you could tell that he was getting politely annoyed as he shut reporter 'kevin steele' up . Course TED was still polite and a nice guy while he did his work !!

Then why was Steele's "grandstanding" cut out of the video?

[ralph]

go ahead , post the rest of the video cause all I've seen is what I've posted and thats the vid that I am commenting on . TED CRUZ did good as far as I'm concerned !!

I would if I could find it. I have seen lots of "grandstanding" by politician answering questions. I've never seen that by the reporter asking the questions. And when I have seen reporters asking the same question more than once, it is almost always because the politician dodged the question or gave some kind of non answer.

[ralph]

good enough Steve , you can speculate all you like but I'm glad to see TED CRUZ do as he did . looks to me that he is a standup guy !!

OK, here we go. This is the whole enchilada.

I'll give you my take. Steele was a rather mediocre interviewer. His questions could have been a lot clearer. But, it is clear now the point he was making and
Ted kept dodging which is if your going to make the point that marriage is an issue for the states not the Federal Govt., what do you expect to accomplish when about half of the states have already legalized same sex marriage? And that's why none of the right wing websites showed the whole interview.

Rafeal is the consummate BS artist. He is very good at it. That's why he's in the Senate.
