“Cruz is the farthest from the lesser of two evils since Reagan.”
The lesser of two evils still equals a lesser of two evils. It doesn’t make it better if it’s a lesser of a lesser of two evils.
You, too, have been given good and sound reasons to show you are likely wrong in your opinion of eligibility. You may want to rethink your position.
“Niggling” and “Pharisee” are not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is the pejorative “birther” or, in your words, “idiot birther”. Then there is “liar”, “moron”, etc. etc. from your FRiends.
What I really want to know is why your side is so strongly pushing someone whose eligibility is so questionable. I wish your side wasn’t cooperating with the left quite so readily.
I want this type of politcian to succeed, also. Finding a reasonably honest, literate, articulate spokesman for conservativism is our wildest dream. But I must insist that whomever we pick and spend our hard earned money to support is eligible for the office.
I have seen no one refute the points of xzins or P. Marlowe. Not even close. I have seen no one refute the main points summarized in # 105, not even close.
I'm glad you find Hillary or Christie elegible, but not Cruz. I find that profoundly disturbing.
Also, if you find Cruz to be a choice between the lesser of two evils, you ought to never vote again.
Well, I've used the term birther, but not in a pejorative sense. It's just a descriptive term.

Ted Cruz brings to the table some unique qualities. He's very intelligent, he's very articulate and he isn't intimidated by either the MSM or by any need to be loved by everyone. He's one of a kind and I don't think you'll find an adequate substitute for him.
Those birthers who claimed that Obama was born in Kenya or that his father was a British citizen or that it is impossible to identify his "real" parents promised that the revelations would injure Obama's candidacy. Well, Obama was twice elected and he appeared to be using the birther claims for his own advantage.
Most people that I know intuitively believe that someone who is born a citizen of the U.S. is a natural born citizen of the U.S. Most people have never heard of Grotius or Vattel. Most don't even speak French. Most would not be inclined to submit to the notion that we as Americans must look to foreign books written before our country was even formed for guidance as to whom we may or may not select to be our presidents.
Maybe you could elaborate on your fears. Why do you feel that Cruz is less eligible than Obama? How might a Cruz candidacy be derailed by the fact that there are a few folks who adhere to these old European citizenship theories? Are you afraid that some court might attempt to disqualify Cruz? Specifically, what are you worried about?
