Agreed. Here they are backstabbing Cruz by counting angels on the head of a pin instead of fighting the Rats.
Very skewed and even perverse priorities.
The Constitution is CLEAR. Article 2 Section 1 states you have to be a natural born Citizen to be eligible to be president. Cruz has not proven that he is one. To let him slip through the cracks like Obama did can’t be allowed. Granholm was born a dual Citizen like Cruz was. She had to naturalize to become a U.S. Citizen in 1980. She can’t become president as a naturalized Citizen. So if she had to naturalize, Cruz had to at some point. When?
Hell I’m a paleo birther from before Obama was elected but the simple fact is that he’s not going anywhere and some of these people seem to have a vested interest in sending birthers off in every remote direction possible.
I’ve even seen declarations that Michele Bachmann is ineligible due to an honorary Swiss citizenship and that’s just plain idiotic.
Personally, I see it as a fight to uphold the Constitution as it was designed and intended, and a fight to maintain integrity, my own and the nation's, even or especially if that means losing fights over/to political expediency.
Many who would fight against the demonrats running/electing obama because he was ineligible, now will run Cruz. That lacks integrity, but I understand that not all see it that way.
Once upon a time, before Clinton taught us the many meanings of "is", we, the public, were less lawyerly about meaning.
Now, things mean whatever you want them to in the moment. This trend will end badly.
Natural born does not equal Native born. They describe similar things, but are different, both when the Constitution was written and now.
If you want them to be the same legally? Then, amend the Constitution with integrity, not like this.
Very skewed and even perverse priorities.
People who have honor and integrity don't bend rules to favor their side.
They also don't rationalize their bending of the rules by lying to themselves.
