The mud is flying early this cycle.
It is three years and three months before the next presidential election, but all it took for Ted Cruz to have his good name smeared was to take a single trip to Iowa where he mentioned that some social conservatives have urged him to run for president.
For this provocation, the freshman senator from Texas -- and new Tea Party idol -- found himself portrayed in the media by classmates who haven’t spoken to him since he was a freshman in college as not merely a didactic and right-wing teenager, but as some kind of sexual deviant.
The story, which was the lead piece in The Daily Beast on Monday, featured Cruz’s freshman roommate -- who is clearly not a social conservative -- dishing a heavy dose of criticism and innuendo. That roommate, Craig Mazin, said he was “afraid” of the influence Cruz has achieved in life, while relating a salacious, if sketchy, story about Cruz menacing female students at Princeton by wearing a paisley bathrobe in their wing of the coed dorm.
In this instance, the supporting evidence used to impugn the character of a yet another conservative was so thin that the Daily Beast’s hatchet job might be easily dismissed -- except for two factors. First, it was touted all day long on various liberal websites. Second, this was part of a disturbing pattern.

“Born to parents of US citizenship on american soil or on foreign soil if in sevice to the country. Both parents MUST be citizens of the US.”
Well obviously, that is incorrect according to the LAW...since Barack Obama’s father was not a US citizen....yet he still is in the WH.
So if it’s good enough for Obama, it’s good enough for Cruz. We will NOT allow another leftist double standard to win out on this issue.
For this provocation, the freshman senator from Texas
Read the articles much??
An obama mask at a rodeo is a federal hate crime, but no attack on Cruz is considered too low. Watch for assassination movies next.
Might you all provide me (and the rest of FR) with your ^^modern revisionist definition^^ of the word “abridged” as found in the second amendment?
Shakespeare was right.
And which language would that be -- that specifically describes such a precise definition of "natural-born citizen".
Post-modernist weasel response.

Sorry.
Delay Cruz? It is real hard to think long-term as we stand next to the dark precipice the liberals have insisted we step into.
Its almost or is already Now or Never time to wrestle control of the Good Ship America with a winnable patriotic and honorable conservative.
Unless Mr. Goodbar shows up on his white horse, our present best guys are Cruz and Rand.
BINGO
You can speak for the majority of voters in West Texas? Why would I suspect you have delusions of grandeur?
I respect your right to your opinion, even if you are wrong.
Post #5 doesn’t realize Cruz is already in the Senate.
...on the pulse of WT O&G at the executive level...
What evz
If he runs, I will vote for him.
At least Ted has college classmates who remember him taking classes. For all his supposed time at Columbus, Obama didn’t make enough of an impression on classmates for anyone to remember him.
As far as I know no classmate who actually sat in the same room with Obama has ever been found by the media. Come to think of it none were ever found for either of Clintons either.
Here’s where I fall on this:
The progressive-communists don’t care whether Obamaguabe is/is not NBC. That is in the past; he was elected by vote - get over it.
Ted Cruz, if he declares POTUS-candidacy will have to fight [EG, !-spend campaign time & money-!] to prove he is NBC according to the plain, accepted language of the Constitution (and the subjective interpretation of the media which will be “gospel” to the progs)
and...
In the end, the progressive-communists’ POV will win the day because the media will control the narrative and they have no shame in being hypocritical. The conservatives will take it in the shorts, once again.
Funny isn’t it? Don’t confuse em with facts, their mind is made up, is increasingly becoming a stick in FR’s craw.
Back it up or its BS.
Hell anyone eating the West Texas O&G dust has their finger on the pulse of WT O&G......
Name one.
Those that actually read the Constitution know there is no “NBC (definition) according to the plain, accepted language of the Constitution”.
