`Cruz is going to clean up Washington’
Yeah, that’s funny stuff.
He’s been in-and-out of DC with legal business for years, and in recent years as a senator—thanks in large part to now `evil’ Sarah Palin: so what’s this `outsider’ business?
Inside the Beltway is his stomping ground ... but now he’s an outsider who wants to clean up Washington. OK.
They all say that, particularly the scoundrels: Ah’m the Man From Hope; yeah, `Hope and Change’.
Maybe one of his resident Brownshirts can rent a Tyme Mashine, go back to 1787 and lobby the framers to take just two words out of the Constitution’s Article 2: “natural born”.
That’s the only way this foreign born candidate—who is not just a lawyer but an expert on Constitutional law, like Obama—will qualify to sit in the Oval Office.
Oh yeah, he is also held out as a “Constitutional originalist”. He’s argued before the SCOTUS, right?
But he waited until he filed for only one of the two jobs in the country that he’s not eligible to hold to renounce his Canadian citizenship. Perhaps more importantly, it’s not clear that he ever applied for American citizenship, so he’s another cipher, an `International Man of Mystery’? He could possibly not even be an American citizen.
(Oh my. Listen to the teeth grinding!)
Did his mother renounce her American citizenship? Hard to say. His mother’s citizenship records are sealed.
Papa Cruz was a Cuban who fought for Castro? (Did Ted write a book too, `Suenos A Mi Papa’?) Gee, this all sounds so familiar, all the parallels ...

Maybe this is why the framers made this issue clear with just the two words `natural born’. They probably figured, “Our progeny can’t be that stupid that we have to spell it out for them. But Ted’s Dreamers see the problemo, eh? So they throw page-after-page of obiter dictum on the walls of these hallowed halls, hoping something will stick, trying for, uh, transparency thumbing their noses at American common sense and the principle of parsimony.
First we had the Democrats’ promise of the most ethical administration .. then they assured us they would be the most transparent ... in cleaning up Washington will Cruz’s next assurances be a combination of both?

Why is he wasting everyone’s time? And he’s wasting his donors’ money as well running for an office he isn’t eligible to hold.
He knows better. No one with a scrap of respect for the law—that is, any remaining after Obama, maybe that’s why so many freepers are winking at him?—will help yet another `outsider’ (another bull****er—from a place called Hope, with`hope & change’).
Cruz cannot plead ignorance in ignoring the highest law of the land, his being yet another effort at usurpation of the highest office, a candidacy built upon chicanery, contempt for the electorate, dishonesty and fraud.
