http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Ted_Cruz.htmpersonally, i dont think he's a serious candidate, but most of my problems with him stem from his social policies and his stance on climate change.
Aside from the obvious, he also wasn't born in America.
>pro life>anti gay (marriage, parades, public outings)>pro traditional marriage>pro death penalty>pro local education policies>denies climate change and doesn't believe in environmental protection>pro gun and arms trade>anti universal health care>wants to build a wall to keep immigrants out>pro religion in the public sphereThose are pretty good reasons to consider him an awful politician.

It means "struggle" or "to struggle (against)". It doesn't mean "war" or whatever the fuck people think it means, dumbshit Muslim terrorists included. The point of jihad is to be faithful, pure, remain true to Islam, and to struggle against wickedness.

I do not see why these are bad things. And don't throw out rape as an example, or when the mother's life is in danger. Those are grey areas.
Wanting to stem the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants is not bad.

Or if you're a university student who would have to drop out if you had a baby. Especially if it were an accident.QuoteWanting to stem the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants is not bad.It'll cost billions and billions of dollars to build a wall sufficient enough to keep immigrants out. And that's just from the land. They'll all just find another way to get across. Like y'know. Taking a boat. Or an airplane.A wall would be a gigantic waste of money and it's just populist rhetoric.

Actions have consequences. It is inexcusable to deny someone the chance at life because of a mistake you made. Granted, had you not made the mistake their life would not have occurred, but because you did, their life WILL begin. I'd say denying someone life is not a proportionate response to potential financial hardship. I don't understand how people can seriously support abortion outside of certain circumstances.

It wouldn't be fair to either the mother or her child.

Can somebody tell me exactly what's wrong with Ted Cruz?
