If Jesus appeared in front of the Cubanadian and said something that Ted disagreed with, Cruz would have no problem pointing out where the Lord was ‘wrong’.

“I spent a number of years in law enforcement dealing with some of the
worst criminals, child rapists and murderers, people who’ve committed
unspeakable acts,” Cruz told the publication. “I believe the death
penalty is a recognition of the preciousness of human life, that for the
most egregious crimes, the ultimate punishment should apply.”

This guy (Cruz) just cannot think logically. Killing someone as a punishment does not speak to that person’s life being precious. The Pope said every life is precious … he made no distinction.
Cruz makes it sound like he was the arresting officer right in there with the rapists and bad guys all around him. That’s about as truthful as Billo’s comments about being present and seeing Nuns shot down in the streets of Buenos Aires when what he really saw were photographs.

You think this is bad, I remember a local “Constitution Party” candidate a few years back who, when asked about the death penalty, replied that if it was “good enough for Jesus’ time it is good enough for today.” Some of these people just make the mind boggle.

Cruz’ suggestion that the death penalty is about life is pretty typical for a party that would call a bill that relaxes pollution controls the “Clear Skies Act” or refer to a bill that allowed institutional bigotry as one celebrating “religious freedom.”

  • and in the most condescending and insulting ‘fingernails dragged on a chalkboard’ kind of way - all while holding that smarmy child predator smirk on his face.

I would not be surprised if Ted Cruz supports lynching as well.

May this nation’s crimes never be egregious enough to be earn 4 years of President Cruz.
