you might have done a double take when rising republican star texas senator ted cruz made these statements at the heritage foundation. >> the willingness to say all those crazy things is a rare, rare characteristic in this town. and you know what? it's every bit as true now as it was then. we need 100 more like jesse helms in the u.s. senate. >> yes. you may recall the late north carolina senator jesse helms, opposed civil rights and supported all forms of bigotry or as david broader called him, the last prominent unabashed white racist politician in this country. but if you look at voting record, it is clearer why mr. cruz might be so enamored. helms opposed affirmative action, same-sex marriage, background checks for gun sales, food stamps and tax cuts for
