The Washington Post cares about whose ox is being gored... one standard for their favorites - one for the rest of us.
Think of it as the policy that brought down an industry...
Seems many birthers here are outraged over the support Cruz is receiving from conservatives. Outraged because they believe that supporting Cruz undermines their continually failing efforts to oust Obama on their specious claims of his ineligibility.
Personally, I wish they'd just STFU and go away. They can stomp their feet all they want, truth is they've never gotten anywhere in challenging Obama and should Cruz toss his hat into the ring, they're not going to get anywhere with him either. Cruz, like Obama, will face no serious legal obstacles regarding his eligibility.
Why buy a newspaper in the US? You can get White House press releases for free and without those annoying banner ads. Here’s a link:

I am a ‘birther’ from the first days of Obama. I will stand by my ‘birther’ beliefs until someone can prove/show me that ‘birth’ has only limited relevance by our Constitution to eligibility for POTUSA. I served overseas in WWII and my only brother died on Okinawa for a ‘birthers’ take and belief in our Constitution. I had to take a graduation exam in government and Constitution from a world renowned university to get my engineering degree. I saw and learned what the Constitution meant to my Swedish born wife when she became a ‘naturalized citizen’. There are few matters of citizenship that are more dear to me than eligibility for POTUSA even though neither my brother and I were eligible because neither of our parents were citizens. I have disdain for those persons who mock ‘birthers’ such as myself. I am not swayed by their ‘shake and bake’ arguments.
As for Cruz I take him as a sincere USA patriot. The USA Government needs men of his expressions and character to undo the ill gained government by Obama and his enablers including the Congress and the Courts at all levels and a large part of the electoate. However the office of POTUSA demands the highest and severest qualifications envisioned by the Founders who had great prescience for this Nation.
Born in a foreign country. [1]
Born with foreign citizenship. [2]
Born owing allegiance to that foreign country. [3][4]
Born a U.S. citizen due exclusively to his mother meeting the specific requirements in the congressional law in existence at the time of his birth. [5]
Foreign born Sen. Ted Cruz is a U.S. citizen by congressional statute.
Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to make laws determining who may be a "natural born Citizen.
Instead of seeking the office, Sen. Ted Cruz may be trying to force the issue into the "national" debate.
What I love about this story is to see how totally freaked out the Communists/Islamists/Progressives/Democrats are over Senator Cruz.
IF the country was so in love with Obama’s progressive utopia, WHY would anyone worry that a Conservative might win?
Heheheheh....
He would be an even greater man if he pressed the courts for a definition of the term "natural born Citizen," as used in the COTUS with exactly that capitalization.
Constitutional questions are not about the man. They are about the Republic and the laws by which it lives ... or dies.
Too bad, so sad, wapo, but obungler broke that glass ceiling long ago. Should have insisted on following the rules when he broke them - too late now.
12 “Birther” stories in 2 days? That’s 11 more than they’ve posted on the Kenyan interloper in 7 YEARS!
Is Canada not one of our 57 states?
Simply amazing. obama is eligible but Cruz isn’t. They don’t even try to hide their hypocracy anymore. And Cruz isn’t even running for president.
