One very fascinating thing I have found about the most ardent anti-equality politicians is that they cannot understand why they may be questioned on their absurd positions after campaigning on them the hardest. For instance, Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz have both stated that ISIS is killing gay people as a reason why they should not have to answer for their anti-equality positions.
In the latter's case, NOM has praised Cruz for the response that he gave. Asserting that he is "boldly speaking the truth", they said on May 22:
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is always courageous and unintimidated when it comes to speaking the truth. Which makes following the media's "news coverage" of him a continuous exercise in frustration and incredulity.This is funny, because what Cruz and NOM have criticized the media for is exactly what NOM wants to do in 2016. On May 20, they outlined a three-point plan for fighting against marriage equality. Point three was (emphasis added):Recently he fired back at the media for "being obsessed with sex" after repeatedly asking about same-sex marriage to the exclusion of almost every other issue, offering a fresh and direct way to respond to not-so veiled attacks on common-sense positions shared by a majority of the country and world.
Elevate the marriage issue in the presidential race— especially on the Republican side — and sending an unequivocal message that redefining marriage is a losing position politically.So when they do it, that's fine. When we do it, we're obsessed.
Keep it up, NOM. Keep up the hilarious un-self-awareness. Keep discrediting yourselves.
