why not?
Rafael Cruz, the senator’s father, is an evangelical pastor whose colorful and often offensive rhetoric could be a liability in any campaign for the White House in 2016.
In February, Pastor Cruz told a group of Tea Partiers that black voters are “uninformed” and “deceived.” And then he went on to say, “As a matter of fact, if we could communicate the truth, not only to the Hispanics but to the black population, all blacks should be Republican,” Pastor Cruz said.Pastor Cruz also claimed that “all of the civil rights” that black people have achieved is the result of Republicans. “Let’s talk about the black population. All the civil rights that the African-Americans have obtained have come from Republicans,” Cruz told a group of his fellow Tea Partiers. “But you know what, Democrats took the credit.”
no matter what the public opinion is they will stick to their "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES" which that type of bigotry is a criteria.
as to Rev. Wright i think he meant the America that is be damned, if you think about it the republicans have done just that damned all of us to most recently no health care if they get their way.
right wing racism and the things it prompts them to say which ever one is worse is in the ear of the listener.
President Obama struggled to distance himself from Reverend Wright and eventually openly condemned some of his more out-of-the-mainstream comments. Wright was a liability for President Obama and it likely didn’t cost him on election day because he publicly cut ties.Senator Ted Cruz will not need to openly condemn his father for any of his outrageous comments to win a Republican primary. He will need to appeal to mainstream voters to win a general election though, and they won’t take kindly to anyone whose father says the nation’s first black president should “go back to Kenya.”
of course he doesn't have to disown him to anyone on the right wing they are still cheering poppy. preaching to the choir is easy and can make some heroes in the eyes of under informed haters like himself.
