Again, moot point. If Barack Hussein Mohammad Obama, Junior can serve two terms as chief magistrate, then Ted Cruz, Chester Arthur, John McCain and any number of other people are therefore qualified to be president. You can’t say “well, this man is a Democrat and partially black, and making history, therefore we won’t say anything, but now along comes a man that we don’t like, so therefore the gate must be closed again.” Nope, the gate is ajar and the hinges are broken off.

I agree with you that that is how it *OUGHT* to work, but I have long noted that they always apply a different set of rules to Democrats than they do to Republicans, and the Republicans must always be made to endure far more challenges than do the Democrats.

I dare say that if Cruz secures the nomination, the Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself) will launch an all out smear campaign challenging his eligibility. Even if he succeeds in court, there is a good chance they will do so much damage to him in the court of public opinion that he might not be able to recover from it.

For nearly the last decade we have heard that the only requirement for being a "natural citizen" is to be born in the country. There is a chance that most of the public, after hearing this so many times, will actually believe it, and therefore vote on it. I can assure you that the media will do everything of which they can think to make this the end result.

It is clear to anyone with an IQ above 60 that Mr. Obama was not born in Hawaii; he has said so, his grandmother said so, the Kenyan government has said so and so has his publisher and press agent. He was born in Kenya, which is just as much a foreign country as Canada is. The horses are out of the barn. I don’t want to hear any more bull$#*+ about Ted Cruz not qualifying. That ship sailed in 2008.

If they can let Obama get away with his bullsh*t dual citizenship, then there ought to be no bar to anyone else getting away with it. However I expect court challenges to Cruz if he wins the nomination, and the media will play it up these court challenges as his having "questionable citizenship." They will deliberately cast doubt in the public mind, and that will have a negative impact on his ability to garner votes.

Do not doubt for a minute that they will do this.

Well, good thing he’s one of the top 10 winningest Supreme Court litigators extant, nicht wahr?
