Vanity: We need Ted Cruz in the Senate.

Posted on 09/15/2018 10:06:43 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Trump needs him. Texas needs him. If we are going to help Trump move his (our) conservative agenda, then we ALL need him. It would be absolutely insane to have any FReepers working against us on this critical point.

O'Rourke would be a disaster for all of us. If you're going to badmouth Cruz, don't do it on FR!

Go, Trump, GO!!

Go, Cruz, GO!!

His mother was a citizen.

And his father was not.
He was born with multiple citizenships.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they can’t be anything else.
If you are also Canadian, you may be a US citizen, but not a natural born citizen.
Where is the paperwork required of all foreign born children?
When was his citizenship applied for and recognized?

Ann Richards, a Democrat, was Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995. It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats held state offices in Texas. At one time, a Texas Democrat was more conservative than a NY Republican...unfortunately, with all the new transplants coming in, things are changing and not for the better.

No!

The only citizenship he was born with was his US citizenship.

He had the opportunity for canadian citizenship, but he would have had to apply for it. There was nothing else on the table.

You appear to be a dedicated troll and a liar.

Dixiecrats were far more conservative than most GOP

Dirksen would have been a mid ideological GOP then

We would have considered him a moderate today on many issues

that doesn’t fit the Beck Levin Rush and NRO screed seen here

GOP always good

Dems always bad

John Tower more than anyone changed all the Dixiecrat stuff

That and the Democrats post Humphrey going so crazy till where they are today

The party of anti bigotry and minority rights ...in their eyes

It’s really just a path to power

When I lived in Texas the Governor was Republican Bill Clement

He served two separate terms and got caught up in the smu scandal of pay offs to players

Followed by Anne

Clayton has to be the wildest to try in recent history

No he was not.

You are one of the worst lying trolls here.

Cruz is the most effective American patriot of our time. Why do you persist at your absurd lies?

We would all be subject to the jurisdiction of the world courts without Cruz’ legal work. We would have lost all gun ownership rights without his amicus on the Heller case.

Are you really this twisted?

Cruz had no need to “renounce” cabadian citizenship, because he never was a canadian citizen.

The renouncement was an empty act to quiet fools like you.

You really are disgusting in your vile hatred.

I don’t hate Ted Cruz.
I want him to be a good Senator for Texas, they need one, Cornyn is a Bush League Republican.

I love the Constitution.
It says natural born citizen, not citizen on your mother’s side.

“that doesn’t fit the Beck Levin Rush and NRO screed seen here. GOP always good. Dems always bad”

A screed which is being spread to our (gullible) friends by the huckster D’Souza.

Everett Dirksen was definitely a moderate when he was Republican leader of the Senate, when he worked with LBJ to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Ol’ Ev didn’t claim to be a conservative, although he would occasionally throw that wing a bone, and he supported Goldwater’s run albeit without any enthusiasm.

The GOP had a powerful liberal wing that apparently none of our pop-history hucksters admit or remember- Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits, Charles Percy, George Romney, Hugh Scott, Thomas Kuchel, Edward Brooke. Apparently they didn’t exist in the comic book history that is now popular.

“John Tower more than anyone changed all the Dixiecrat stuff”

Not Strom Thurmond? Of course Tower switched parties about a decade earlier.

I was a Harry Byrd Democrat in High School, College & Law School. I started working for Goldwater in December, 1960, but did not join the Republican Party until Strom Thurmond did also in 1964. Those who thin that the Republican Party was really Conservative, as a whole, before the shift got underway in 1964, are in a fantasy (both parties had conservative wings, to be sure, and they worked together in the Truman Second Term to block the “Liberal” agenda.

Cruz was born a citizen; that is exactly what natural born means.

Scotus recently ruled that there is no Father/Mother preference in our laws. (so don’t try that one again)

The founders rejected the phrase “citizen at birth” as suggested by Hamilton in favor of the more restrictive “natural born citizen” to exclude the possible admission of foreign influence on the office of President.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they cannot be anything else.
They have only one nationality.

The last time the term natural born citizen was addressed by the USSC was 1875 Minor vs Happersett.

Chief Justice Waite

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.”
