Unlike Scott Walker and more emphatic than Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz enthusiastically supports Gov. Mike Pence and urges all Americans to do the same:

HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, issued the following statement today in support of Governor Mike Pence’s effort to defend religious liberty and protect against the government forcing individuals to violate their deeply held beliefs:

“I want to commend Governor Mike Pence for his support of religious freedom, especially in the face of fierce opposition. There was a time, not too long ago, when defending religious liberty enjoyed strong bipartisan support. Alas, today we are facing a concerted assault on the First Amendment, on the right of every American to seek out and worship God according to the dictates of his or her conscience. Governor Pence is holding the line to protect religious liberty in the Hoosier State. Indiana is giving voice to millions of courageous conservatives across this country who are deeply concerned about the ongoing attacks upon our personal liberties. I’m proud to stand with Mike, and I urge Americans to do the same.”

1. Hey Ted,,,,, Pence just took a dump in your mouth!

[City Lights]

2. LOL, Carnival Cruz never fails to amuse.

[cstanleytech]

16. Unless of course Norovirus is your bunk mate in which case you will

not have an amusing time.

[City Lights]

17. LOL, this is true! nt

3. Nothing like jumping on the Titanic while it is sinking

4. Drilling holes in the lifeboat works well, Ted.

Carry on.

[calimary]

12. HAH!!!! Please proceed, cruz.

This surprised me not at all. Just adding to the reasons why I find him completely putrid as a human being.

5. I am giggling at the republicans' gross miscalculation

of the voting power of the evangelicals.

It was pretty high in 1980 but the block has shrunk to an insignificant size except in a few backwoods states.
Courting that block almost requires that you alienate everyone else -- so it is a losing strategy.

Go for it Cruz.

[calimary]

13. I would hope he's so damn fervent about it that he decides to break away and run as an

independent. That would be sheer bliss! Divide and conquer. NOTHING would please me more!!! (Well... maybe chocolate and a platinum album for my kid's band...)

[hamsterjill]

22. I'm actually having a good day, too. In Texas!

The Republicans really did miscalculate this one! I am so happy to see the outcry against this bill and the outpouring of support by many businesses. I know it's the dollars and cents that has Pence backpeddling.

But I can enjoy it, just the same. I don't get to see that happen much down here in Texas.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Be just as proud to fall with him, too.

[Fearless]

7. I hope to see them standing together in a prison cafeteria line sooner than later.

[yuiyoshida]

8. I wouldn't hold your breath...

Dick Cheney is still on the loose.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Who has been keeping the good people of Indiana from seeking out and

worshipping gawd? Not being allowed to marry is discrimination. Being forced not to discriminate is not an attack on your liberty.

[underpants]

10. Imagine....

a place where people are free to discriminate for any number of reasons. That is a world I think we can all strive for.....what's that?.... Hispanics too.....oh

11. Well Ted Even Governor Pence No Longer Supports Governor Pence's Position

[calimary]

15. That's really not true, guys. pence just did this for damage control.

He hasn't learned much from this. He thinks the problem isn't with the new law - it's with YOUR perception of the new law. He's reluctantly bowing to perception management, NOT to the actual reality here. He still thinks the law is just fine. It's just the firestorm it created that has forced him to bend. And he's only bending minimally.

[hollysmom]

14. but but but {ence just admitted he law must be changed. Toolate Ted.

you can't be crazy enough for these bigots.

[Liberalagogo]

18. Nazis of a feather.

Congrats, Teddy. Not that you had a chance in hell, but you've just joined your BFF Jeb in flushing your dream of the Presidency down the toilet.

[Thor_MN]

19. Raphael, that train done left the station and ran over your stupid ass.

Pence saw that the light was the train, not the end of the tunnel and is backing away as fast as he can.

[marble falls]

20. What a terrible image. I hope they're standing together in a cesspool up to their cowlicks.....

There. That's much better.

[hamsterjill]

21. Keep talking, Ted!

But louder, please!!! ha ha ha ha
