Ted Cruz looks to revive the evangelicalism of the past

[Political Junky]

Evangelicals are the most easily bait and switched voting bloc in America. Act suitably pious, say a bunch of nebulous shit about the sanctity of the traditional family, wave the fuck out of that miniature flag, act really scared and angry and they will vote for even the most transparent conman.

You made a mistake and seem to be describing the DemocRAT plantation blacks, and new Hispanics!

Actually, he is right. Look at their hero, Ronald Reagan. He made lots of noise about repealing Roe v. Wade and talked about how evil abortion was. At least he did when he was campaigning. When he was in office he was silent on the topic.

Governor Reagan Signs Liberal California Abortion Law

Gov. Ronald Reagan on this day signed the California Therapeutic Abortion Law, which at the time was one of the early liberalized state abortion laws. He signed it as part of a promise to some GOP legislators, not expecting the legislature would actually pass it. He quickly regretted signing the law, however, when he learned how many abortions were being performed, and he did not support an attempt to liberalize it even further. So, it is not true that Reagan was really “pro-choice” while governor, as some people believe.

As president, Reagan gave strong verbal support to the anti-abortion right-to-life movement. See, for example, his January 30, 1984, speech to the religious broadcasters, in which he claimed he was proud of attacks on him by the ACLU because of his anti-abortion stand. In practice, however, he never gave any real support to a constitutional amendment to prohibit abortion, as the right-to-life movement demanded, and no such amendment was ever passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification.

Had to have a Congress to go along with it, and when he did, there were MORE IMPORTANT things that had to be done... Winning the Cold War, do you remember that?

Yep, I remember the Cold War. I was part of it.

But that doesn't change the accuracy of what I said. Reagan talked to the evangelicals and said what they wanted to hear, and they voted for him. 4 years later, despite having done none of what he told them he would do, he said what they wanted to hear and they voted for him.

You mean he was a politician, but unlike the obomanation who gave our FREE SHIT with YOUR MONEY, Reagan saved us a buck!

Reagan saved us a buck?? Where? Reagan added over $1 trillion to our debt. And that was after he spent every penny of the Social Security surplus. I am no fan of Obama and his fiscal policies are terrible. But don't pretend that Reagan saved us any money. He opened the Social Security coffers to every administration since.

Yes, KILLING the USSR cost money, BUT he didn't go to China with open hand looking for a Bank of China CHARGE CARD ..... Now we can debate if wnding the Cold War was worth it, but don't TRY to act as if you didn't know this!

If you want to argue that he spent money more wisely than Obama, that is fine. But saved us a buck?

Well even YOU must agree he didn't SPEND ALL that he could have legitimately!

Keeping his word, although personally disgusted with the act... Damn, a politician that kept his word.... a TRUE RARITY!

Big fucking difference. They weren't toddlers, or props, and didn't show up much, if at all, until after he won.

They weren't that little or used in that way. Both the Carters and Clintons forbid it.

It makes a lot of difference. Because he has exposed his family to the spotlight they are now fair game in political discussions. They went from being private individuals to public figures with no real expectation of media privacy. It's a heavy burden to place on your family and this guy did it way too early.

[TheOldSchool]

I wonder what the illegal alien Rafael Cruz will promise to the peasant evangelicals. Will it be "fuck teh gays" and "I'll criminalize abortion" again?

Will they be shocked if he wins and doesn't even bother to TRY to pursue those things like Bush didn't?

Ted Cruz looks to revive the evangelicalism of the past - Yahoo News

He is hoping to rev up the social con far right religious enthusiasm that pushed Bush over the 2004. The question is this: will millennial evangelicals identify with him? They seemed to at his Liberty U appearance.

Christian fundamentalists and the social right certainly helped to keep the base consolidated for GWB in 2004, but it was weak democrats and moderate independents who got him reelected, mostly the consequence of concerns over the war in Iraq and an incompetent Kerry campaign; the same weak democrats and moderate independents who will abandon the GOP in droves if Cruz is the nominee.
