THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
The cheater and the eater got beat by the tweeter!
No. This has no support in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, or U.S. court opinions.
The problem with Obama's claim to being a natural-born citizen had to do with one or more of these issues:
1. Age and prior U.S. residency requirements for his mother if Barry was born abroad.
2. Whether he gave up his natural-born citizenship in Indonesia, later claiming to be a foreign student, and still later becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen.
“all those lazy people get all riled up”
Completely unfair characterization....Not everyone has a spare moment to meet during the day (when a lot of the county stuff occurs) and a free evening to do one thing extra. The ambitious throw their families under the bus while they play politics. Many folks are working two or three jobs to make ends meet and care for their families
Most who are involved deeply in local politics are either part of the machine that keeps on chugging or they have retired and now have time to do those things.
They fact that the rules are not easily located or talked about I think underscores the fact that sometimes folks just don’t know. Now they have been awakened.
I don’t have a lot of hope that anything will change.
Don’t bother to respond. I don’t need to know how dedicated you personally are
Issue about Cruz mother becoming British citizen while married in England which would have required only 1 year in Canada to become Canadian citizen has not been shown. She was registered to vote, got healthcare and owned a business in Canada.
It was 2ndDivisionVet not I who said of Obama that NBC required 2 US citizen parents. No explanation yet why the same is not true of Cruz
There is no evidence that Ted Cruz's mother, Eleanor, was a Canadian citizen and voted, especially prior to 1970, when Ted was born.
She was on the voter list whether she exercised that right or not we don’t know. But she was registered.
Another fairy tale. Eleanor's first husband, Alan Wilson, confirmed that Cruz’s mother never became a British subject while she was working in London. Despite his many years in Britain, Wilson said he too never became a citizen of the United Kingdom.
So the notion that she became a Canadian citizen in one year is still another fairy tale. While Rafael Cruz became a Canadian citizen in 1973, Eleanor was never a British citizen and never a Canadian citizen.
nclaurel @166: "She was on the voter list whether she exercised that right or not we don’t know."
The "voters list" was actually a May 27th Urban Preliminary List of Electors, containing names "enumerated during a recent house to house visitation in the above mentioned polling division by a pair of urban enumerators." It was not a list of qualified voters or people who actually voted. The list was published with a notice that the list of names would be revised during June 19-21, for those not qualified to vote. More importantly, that list was from 1974, and thus irrelevant to the fact that Ted Cruz was born to a U.S. citizen mother in 1970.
Even though one may disagree with and criticize some legislation or political positions Cruz has supported, or some people he associates with, or his looks, or that he's in competition with one's favored candidate, it is not right to just make up or pass on gossip about Cruz (or any politician) when such gossip is unsubstantiated and evidence indicating the gossip is erroneous is readily available.
Wilson was not the only man Cruz mom was with in England as he was not the father of her son. All I am saying is show documentation. Would like to see his college records too.
Any thing you want to believe is fine for you and I have the same right to doubt.
There is nothing wrong with having or expressing doubts about evidence, but it is not right to pass on such unsubstantiated doubts as substantiated facts overriding such evidence.
You have no evidence to support your claims too many unknowns. So let’s agree to disagree instead of you continuing to contact me.
