Question: What does he really stand for?

Answer: Cruz, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Comment: A lot has recently been revealed about Cruz as a politician. Remember Cruz is a politician and as such lies, cheats, talks out of both sides of his mouth etc. etc.. However if he becomes the nominee and Hillary is running against him he gets my vote under "The Doctrine of Relative Filth."

Cruz remains opposed to anchor babies and since the border has not been secured, he is moved to another option. You needed me to tell you that?

You’re mixing apples and oranges ,,,

On one hand he explains how a child of an American parent can be deemed a citizen when born out of country (ie)( John McCain ).

On the other hand ,,He is against an illegal coming here and creating anchor babies .

Well, I agree that is what gwb did to the letter. Note his open borders .
Cruz and Trump had my unmitigated support until 3 weeks ago. He made a huge mistake on his FEC filings — in fact, he did it again in 2012. You do not fail to disclose huge loans made by New York banks. There is no excuse. He is nuts to think a foreign born person can be President under article II .
But after today ,all this is irrelevant. He will lose in Iowa after the Governor came out against him and Trump now runs the table. I don’t really see Trump losing in a single state.
It’s over for cruz.

Trumpsters know that they are purposefully trying to confuse the two issues.

One candidate and his supporters adhere to their Christian values, the other and his followers don’t. The contrast is not lost on the American voters.

Ted Cruz was a Canadian anchor baby.

Do you have evidence his parents were in Canada illegally? Do you have evidence his parents used his birth the gain permanent residency in Canada?

That doesn’t seem to be completely true since he raises the issue of illegal’s having children whom he states are citizens because of the constitution, in the 2011 portion of the video.

In 2011 Cruz says that problem should be fixed by controlling the border not by changing the constitution to eliminate BRC. In the later video he says he has been against birth right citizenship all along.

Sounds like he is being dishonest about his prior position and has changed 180 degrees from birthright citizen ship is fine to all along I was against BRC and said we should eliminate it.

Their intent is irrelevant. ted obtained birthright citizenship in Canada by virtue of being born on Canadian soil. Hey, just out of curiosity, if I moved to Texas, would I be considered a natural born Texan? I think we both know the answer to that "5thGenTexan".

The Ninth Circuit recently awarded Ted all these Ribbons and he is legally authorized to wear and display them.


Ted is a certified Hero from Canada

Yeah who do you believe?

“[Trump’s] ties to the Clintons, his past pronouncements which are in such blatant contradiction to his current fulminations, and the cries of joy from the Clintonian gallery and the media (or do I repeat myself) all point to a single conclusion: the Trump campaign is a Democratic wrecking operation aimed straight at the GOP’s base.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jan/15/marco-rubio/rubio-mischaracterizes-cruzs-statement-birthright-/

“When we asked Rubio’s campaign about the accusation, they sent us a list of attacks about Cruz allegedly switching positions on a host of issues. But the claim boils down to a 2011 radio interview on The Duke Machado Show during Cruz’s Senate campaign.” “The full interview isn’t available, so we can’t say what else Cruz may have said on the subject during the 2011 broadcast.”

On the other hand ,,He is against an illegal coming here and creating anchor babies .

Not really he says they are constitutionally legal citizens and the way to stop that is secure the border. It is pretty questionable that the 14th actually confers anchor baby citizenship and his read on the issue is dubious.

You post took a few seconds to figure out your meaning.

So your Christian values allow you to lie about loans, omit them from your filings knowing that they are the kind of loans that specifically need to be reported because they need to be secured to eliminate hidden influences?

Your Christian values allow you to setup people as strawmen so you can blacken their characters and by association attack your opponent by grouping him in that subset of people?

Bearing false witness about people you haven’t even met judging people without personal knowledge is not in any bible I have seen or read. Throwing stones at a whole state or several states that’s a very Christian way of behaving. That must be treat everyone the way you would want to be treated, being your brother’s keeper, right?

Ted Cruz wants to win and he is willing to forsake his Christian values to prevail.

The fact that he had to renounce his Canadian Citizenship speaks volumes, but we don't want to mess up your narrative. There is some serious questions that will come to the fore in one of the state court challenges, count on it.

I think the problem I have is that he said in the later video that he has been against birthright citizenship all along. I would have no problem with a change of heart, an evolving view. If he had explained that he has looked into the issues more closely since 2011 because of the serious situation that has developed in America and has altered his views, believes that the 14th Amendment has been being stretched I would think he were an honest man.

Exactly, “sounds like”, but I will not rely on a edited video to say this is so. Wouldn’t you agree that it is better to base your opinion on the full context then partial videos?

In the PP video’s the people posted edited video’s but because they knew they would be attacked for being edited they also released the raw video too.

To be honest I think it was a long enough segment for Ted to enunciate his point of view fully, he stated it several times, and the questioning was moving on to another topic when the clip ends.
