Only 1 Republican running for president scored a 100% conservative rating (Ted Cruz)

On a 100-point ratings system for their conservative voting records, there are essentially no Democrats in House or Senate who breeched the 40th percentile. Over 30 Democrats had a score of 0 percent this year, including Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia.

“We can only conclude that the former Democratic National Committee Chairman plans to serve one-term representing the Commonwealth of Virginia before he returns to lead the fringe portion of the liberal activist base,” Mr. Schlapp observes.

A slim few Republicans were rated between 40 and 49 percent on the scale, with the majority of them scoring 60 percent and above. Sixteen earned a 100 percent rating this year, including Sen. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and Rep. Ron De Santis.

Going on a FUD based anti-Cruz jihad on a constitutional conservative site is not a wise move. Your jihad will inevitably fail and only expose you for what you are.

“Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but Ted Cruz is definitely a natural born US Citizen.”

Given the fact he was a native born citizen of Canada, that is quite impossible no matter how many people you can stand on the head of a pin to argue otherwise. But put that side anyway and consider the fact no voter is required to vote for a candidate even if the candidate is eligible. Then explain to me why there is nothing fishy about many or even most of the candidates having foreign citizenship themselves or in parents. Why are you so prejudiced against U.S. Citizens being a candidate just because they are not a foreign citizen or because their parents were not foreign citizens? Out of a population of 300 million people don’t you think we could find at least ten conservatives suitable to serve as candidates who were not born with foreign citizenship and whose parents were not born with foreign citizenship or other foreign entanglements?

Look at how many candidates have had arguable eligibility problems: George Romney, Barack Hussein Obama, John McCain, Bobby Jindal, Mitt Romney. Doesn’t it seem to you the least bit strange there are so many such candidates excluding those with no such arguable eligibility problems?

The father of Ted Cruz helped Fidel Cruz to commit those crimes, even after he fled to Texas.

Do you have documentation of the above claims?

ne of the complaints the rest of the world had against Germany and the German people was how they could possibly have allowed Adolf Hitler to gain power and stay in power to the ruination of Germany and the needless deaths of tens of millions of people. Germany had a substantial political party known as the Christian Democrats. These Christian Democrats were supposed to represent the more moral part of German Society. Hitler succeeded in capturing the support of the Christian Democrats by polarizing the German electorate into believing their were only two possible choices, either the NZIs or the Communists. The Christian Democrats were subjugated to the will of the NAZIs by their own fear of the Communists.

There was no party in Germany known as the Christian Democrats when Hitler came to power. The Christian Democratic Union was established in 1945, after the demise of Nazi Germany.

If Ted Cruz is a a traitor who aspires to be the next Fidel Castro, then who should we support for president?

Also, assume Ted Cruz is perfectly honest and loyal to the American conservative cause and actually an eligible candidate, and then demonstrate how you can keep him from gaining political support like Fidel Castro did through deception in the event our judgment of Ted Cruz proved to be horribly wrong. After all, if Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chief Justice Roberts, and John Boehner can betray us, why not someone who is the foreign born son of a supporter of Fidel Castro?

Ted Cruz has shown himself to be solidly grounded in conservative principles. Can you cite any evidence to the contrary in his own track record?

” I think it’s funny that the latest round of “I like Cruz but...” and “Thats it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!” idiocy is coming from people that marched their little arses into a booth and pulled the lever for an abortion backing gay marriage supporting, military hating liberal and fight to defend that stupidity to this day.”

The Reagan-bashers are surfacing again, too.

In pushing this "Cruz isn't a natural-born citizen" apple sauce, the Cruz-haters are grasping at straws.

No, they are following the liberal playbook. Alynski - Hold your opponents to their own standards.

THEY can pass a president into power with a completely unverified past/lineage/citizenship. But when their opponents put up a candidate that has a hint of a potential issue, it’s the end of the world as they know it and they feel fine.

I said here about a year ago that liberals were going to push this hard. I got creamed for it. I now laugh in their faces.
