I can’t put my finger on it, but when I look at Ted Cruz I don’t get a warm feeling that he is sincere.

When I read some of the stuff that you post, I don't get a "warm feeling" that you are a retired Army guy.

Obummer’s mother wasn’t of age (not old enough) yet to pass on her citizenship to Odumbo when he was born.. there IS a difference.

Where in the 14th amendment does it state anything regarding age?

Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand.

Why question Ted Cruz? He's shaking things up. Just about every other conservative that's been sent to DC to turn things around has either been enveloped by the polluted, vile DC smog or stayed on the sidelines while striving to stay conservative.

Look at Jeff Sessions. He's stayed on the sidelines, and now, with the Cruz influence, he's getting the recognition he deserves.

Thanks Bikkuri.

The lefties (and the RINOs) sure seem to fear Senator Cruz.

My feeling exactly. Ted Cruz has a way of capturing the imagination and creating a belief that it is possible for a ‘new morning in America’. He has a lot of Reagan’s qualities.

There is no doubt that this is what has the leftists so irrationally against him.

Maybe it’s his white silk tie that reminds me of Movie Gangsters from the 40’s and 50’s.

Yes, but what do you think of the crease in his trousers?

Where in the 14th amendment does it state anything regarding age?

American citizenship law of the period (1956-72) specified that, if born overseas, one American parent was sufficient to convey American citizenship -- if that parent had been a resident of the USA for at least five years after the age of 14.

Why 14? I don't know. But that was the law.

If Ozero was born outside the USA, Stanley Ann was of insufficient age (18) to convey American citizenship -- as she would've had only four years of USA residency after the age of 14.

Cruz's mother was born and raised in the USA and was 28 when he was born -- thus able to convey her American citizenship.

This is exactly why I adore the man.

Just when I feel all hope is lost, he gives me renewed hope.

However, I fear the way paved to the Oval Office will be difficult for him.

As it happens, I was studying American citizenship law at the time (1961) -- in preparation for a career in the Foreign Service.

Which, fortunately, never happened.

I DO need to bookmark that though... seeing all of the posts comparing the 2 in the last several weeks about the same thing, I wanted to jump in and say something, but I couldn’t remember the exact details :/
If you can’t find a link, I will try and find one to support it ;^)

I had that feeling about Reagan when he first began his campaign, I was on the road 90 percent of the time, no radio or anything and did not get familiar with his views.

In his last debate with Carter I was lucky enough to watch it and realized how wrong I was.

I do not have T.V so have not saw Cruz except on the internet.

So mostly what makes him OK with me is that if all of the bad mouthing Freepers either like him or will vote for him he must be A ok, sarc.
