Ted Cruz backs Senate candidate who said gay marriage ruling ‘even worse’ than slavery

By Fernando Ramirez Updated 11:53 pm, Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Cruz announced his support of Moore the same day that Talking Points Memo resurfaced a 2016 podcast interview in which Moore said the Supreme Court's 2015 same-sex marriage ruling was "even worse" than an 1857 court decision that upheld slavery.

"Yes, sir. I was simply pointing out that in 1857 the United States Supreme Court did rule that black people were property. And of course that contradicted the Constitution and it took a civil war to overturn it," Moore told the "Here I Stand" podcast last November.

"But this ruling in Obergefell is even worse in a sense because it forces not only people to recognize marriage other than the institution ordained of God and recognized by nearly every state in the union, it says that you now must do away with the definition of marriage and make it between two persons of the same gender," he continued.

The writer is hoping you'll overlook the fact Moore was making a point about a convoluted SCOTUS ruling and just assume he was making some kind of moral comparison between gay marriage & slavery.

Headline: TomSea backs president who says, "Grab them by the p***y, you can do anything."

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

@bolobaby

Alternate headline:

"@TomSea, back from a momentary fit of defending Cruz in order to prop up Trump, is back to trashing the guy he says he supported."

   @TomSea I'm beginning to believe your Cruz Derangement Syndrome is worse than my Trump Derangement Syndrome.  I prescribe Valium and Vodka it helps me to cope and if my liver holds out for 3 more years I win.

Personally I think the Dred Scott case is the worse ever and yes even worse than the gay marriage and the abortion rulings..
