FYI Cruzers will deny any argument you make or assemble, they will accept any support or affirmation from any source (Glenn Beck, Lindsay Graham, etc.), then they will call YOU the most vile and vicious names. In other words, because THEY want Cruz to be eligible, in their mind it MAKES him eligible. They have no fealty to the constitution nor desire to see it adhered to if it stands between them and their goal of the status quo and the Washington Political Class/Cartel. They NEVER meet detailed labors of scholarship with anything but name calling and out-of-hand denial without any attempt to understand the text. They do not care. I don't know why. It's very weird. They are being raped by the Washington Political Class just like we all are, yet like victims of Stockholm Syndrome or batter wives, they are IN LOVE with the very one who symbolizes the abuse they suffer constantly at the hands of the Republican Cocktail Party and Corrupt Crooks and LIARS.
No amount of being lied to, no amount of subterfuge or dirty tricks or lies will reach them through their cognitive dissonance.
This, below, best describes the situation, though why Freepers, presumably only a few members of the Government Class/Educrats/Media/Crony capitalists/Lobbyists and Donors. They REFUSE to see and recognize their rapists, plunderers and looters of their own possessions.
The establishment-Republicans are so hungry for the status-quo (the same group who have been damaging this country) that they'll risk a complete political meltdown rather than to have an outsider like Trump become their nominee.
Like I said in the beginning, even in this outlier of a scenario, the real tragedy in the Republican Party is that so many are throwing the baby out with the bathwater in attacking Donald Trump so viciously. But, to question such actions, would be to falsely assume they care about the party or its cause. They don't. They care about maintaining the comfortable position of power they have attained, and they expect you to comply or they'll "burn down the house." "The house" is both the party and the cause, in favor of their power. If you corner and threaten a vicious dog, he is likely to bite.

I see what you mean. This one here, Yosemitest, is a marvel to behold. He is actually the first one at FreeRepublic I have dealt with first hand, I mean on substantive Constitutional issues ( I try to avoid dogmatic religious threads ). He is completely impervious to all objective facts and I'm starting to wonder if Levin and Rush are this thick as well. Apparently to them ( I say apparently because I cannot get one single straight answer from this artful dodger ) citizen is now actually equal to natural born citizen, and even James Madison's own explanation cannot penetrate this new post-American religion.
This is how America will end, by being sold out to anti-American globalist internationalists who inexplicably believe they are conservatives. Such people ( and including Rush and Levin ) do not even realize that taking "natural born" out of natural born citizen is a direct attack on our sovereignty, not to mention our entire friggin history. Did you know that Winston Churchill actually qualified as NBC!
This particular zealot's style ( copy/paste wall-of-text ) reminds me exactly of some of those I've fought with at DUmmyland, DailyKaos and HuffPost over the Second Amendment. It is stunning and illustrative at the same time. Over there in enemy territory they are religious socialists and the Second Amendment is simply invalid because they believe it to be so. No words from any Founder makes a lick of difference. Somehow Cruz has attracted a similarly religious collection of zealots that will stoop so low that the actual words of our Founders are meaningless to them.
I've always like Ted Cruz but the anti-Constitutional stink from many of his supporters will rub off and onto him. It cannot be avoided. ~sigh~ I'm seriously beginning to root for his destruction in the primaries now, because when your lemmings decide to piss on my neck and tell me its raining then I can't help but be profoundly affected by it.
gg188, thanks for the comment and tipoff. It took a while but I'm beginning to understand.
