The liberal media has been defending Cruz’s eligibility because it justifies Obama.
For example: “Yes, Ted Cruz Can Be Born in Canada and Still Become President of the U.S.”

“Top lawyers: ‘No question’ Canada-born Cruz eligible for presidency”
http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2015/03/16/ted-cruz-natural-born-citizen-birthers/
The anti-birther blogs and web sites are positively giddy about Cruz, Rubio and others because they see the eligibility of those Republican candidates as justifying their position on Obama AND dividing conservatives politically.
They see themselves getting a “two for one.”
The anti-Obama blog “The Birther Report” is vehement in its opposition to Cruz’s eligibility.
More liberal media defense of Ted Cruz’s eligibility.
From National Public Radio:
“Is Ted Cruz Allowed To Run Since He Was Born In Canada?”

Two blogs that were the earliest to defend Obama’s eligibility, snopes.com and factcheck.com Both say Cruz is eligible.

The liberal media is largely basing its position on Ted Cruz on the Harvard Law Review article written by two former U.S. Solicitor Generals.
Neal Katyal was the federal government’s top lawyer for the Obama Administration and Paul Clement held that position for the George W. Bush administration.

Also they are all pro open borders and amnesty too. The whole issue conforms to Liberal orthodoxy. They don't believe in nationalism anyways.

Of that I have no doubt. I also have no doubt that you have spent quite a lot of time at these websites. I think you have been using them as a cite resource for a very long time.

If one insists on standing on principle, then one has to be consistent. You can't argue one way against Obama, and a different way in favor of Cruz. By the standards of any average citizen, Obama would have a stronger claim (given what is asserted) to citizenship than would Cruz.
My position is simple. Since the Democrats aren't compelled to obey rules, we shouldn't either, and there are more important issues at stake, especially when no authority gives a rat's @$$ about the truth.
