Idiot reporter doesn't even know the difference between natural and naturalized. Regardless, I'll take a Canadian over a Kenyan any day.
“Cruz was born to American parents living in Alberta, so while he’s technically a naturalized U.S. citizen, which is a requirement to run for president”
Oh, dear. How many inaccuracies can you fit into a single sentence?
Only his mother was an American citizen.
Naturalized citizens can run for president. For that matter, so could Vladimir Putin, or anybody else. They’re just ineligible to serve if elected.
If Cruz is naturalized, he’s not eligible to be president.
Personally, I take natural-born to mean a born citizen, but opinions on the matter differ.

Dual citizenship (Which Cruz had from birth and recently renounced Canadian citizenship)
You would think that a writer that wanted to write an article on someone, would at least look at their Wikipedia page for the basic facts.
Funny graphics whether I agree with the add or not.
I thought Rand Paul has been burning bridges; I’m sorry about that too. He’ll really come under scrutiny, I think he’s heading towards being a Libertarian Candidate some day, maybe the next election.
I remember when Rand Paul was first elected to the US Senate more than a few Freepers were posting, “oh, he’s nothing like his old man” kind of responses. Yes folks he is his father’s son and the truth be told he may be even kookier than the old man!
It’s been pretty quiet on the GOP Internecine Warfare Front so far. It looks like that silence is going to be broken by Rand Paul and his supporters.
This may, of course, hurt Ted Cruz. But, at least for me, it is totally destructive of whatever small chance Rand Paul had of reaching the Oval Office. His actions look desperate. They are desperate.
Enough of this guy. Enough.
The left ALWAYS tells you who they fear. And it’s clear that the silly Rand Paul and the “third-party group backing Rand Paul for the Republican nomination” also fear him. Rand Paul is marking himself early as the most despicable candidate running for the Republican presidential nomination. He is beyond contempt for MANY reasons.
lets compare his birth certificate to Obama’s
Rand Paul is as much a scumbag as his daddy. It’s as if their goal is to promote the liberal left
I see this ad as nothing but trash. I see Paul’s supporters the same.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
"Repeat a lie often enough...", one of the pillars of successful propaganda.
The phrase, dear Dudley Doright, is ...natural born citizen, EH?
Got that?
Even the U.S. supereducated founding fathers didn't know the difference between that and "naturalized??"
Really?
NO, HE’S NOT “TECHNICALLY” A NATURALIZED CITIZEN. THAT IS A LYING STATEMENT.
When a child is born to American parents (his mother was a natural born citizen); that automatically entitles the child to the same status.
Cruz was also automatically entitled to Canadian citizenship, because his mother was working in Canada when he was born. He has since renounced his Canadian Citizenship, and is now JUST AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Whoever is spreading this garbage needs to stop.
The premise of this attack is that Ted Cruz is a “capitulating Canadian.” And that’s just plain wrong.
Ted Cruz isn’t Canadian.
Same tactics Paul Sr. ran against Newt, if you re-call Senator Paul lied to get on Hannitty about “breaking news” so he could read an anti Gingrich editorial he had written for a Des Moines newspaper.
