Rand Paul: "Extraordinary" to have a president born outside the U.S.
cbs ^ | January 10, 2016, 1:51 PM | Rebecca Kaplan

Weighing on the controversy over whether Canadian-born Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is eligible to be president, his fellow senator Rand Paul said Sunday that it would be "extraordinary" to have a president born outside of the U.S.

"He would be the first president not born in the United States. And so that alone would be extraordinary. And so people have to decide for their own minds whether it makes a difference where someone is born," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.

...

Paul predicted Sunday that Democrats would challenge Cruz's eligibility and that it would ultimately have to be decided by the Supreme Court.

"It's hasn't been decided," he said.

...

he predicted he will do well on caucus day, pointing to the fact that his campaign just announced 1,000 precinct chairs for the caucus.

"We think we may well be the most organized campaign in Iowa. And that's somewhat unheralded if you watch the polls," Paul said. "But really a caucus is about turning your people out. It's calling them, getting them out."

Most people around here who support Paul would never claim to be republicans. Therefore they would not answer or even consider answering a pollster who want to place them in that category.
They are off the political grid

Overall Trump is beating Cruz in Iowa in the latest Iowa poll.

The Jan 10th with registered Iowa caucus goers NBC/Marist poll, Trump leads Cruz 26% to 24%.

NBC/Marist/WSJ registered voters see page 6 pdf

Trump will win Iowa by getting new Iowa caucus voters. I bet it happens.

We don’t have anything except a photoshopped “duplicate” of a birth certificate from the sitting “president” as proof he was natural born. If it wasn’t important fir 7 (long and unconstitutional) years, why now? I don’t see this as an issue...that page has already been successfully torn from the Constitution.

grania, this is one of those ‘seeing, they do not see’ situations. I knew, but didn’t know enough to realize how truly bizarre dominionism is. Most probably, the most virulent of Cruz’s supporters are part of the National Apostolic Reformation. Their behavior is incomprehensible to persons out side of this cult, but once you start learning about them, it explains their unChristian behavior and Ted Cruz’s actions peculiar explanations’ as well. And it explains the fervor against Donald Trump because they are a globalist movement.
The thing about Cruz a Trump’s VP is sort of like taqqiya, but I’m not sure which people who advocate that are being deceitful & which are well intended & trying to have a peaceful compromise. Here are some links if you are interested

Thanks for the information regarding this facet. My assumption was that Gopee operatives had taken over. They only claim to be Cruz supporters thereby bringing down both of the non-establishment front runners. One by targeting front runner the second by acting like A so no one wants to join the group

Maybe, maybe not. It might be very close. Rand Paul might do well too.

hoosiermama, I believe they *are* Cruz supporters. This explains his involvement with the globalists & his odd behavior. It is the same mindset/ belief system that Ted Cruz’s father goes around preaching about.

There may *also* be some small element who are deploying the splitter strategy, but I can assure you this is deadly serious. I’ve known about it since the mid 70s. We all might know people like this in real life, but do not comprehend where they’re coming from.

WE have one now that was likely not born in the USA. Or at the very least is an Indonesian citizen who attended Occidental college as a foreign student.

I wonder why Rand Paul is just picking on Cruz? Rubio is a anchor baby.

I had been unaware of this. But certainly have an open mind. It would explain a great deal. Do you have a source or article you could post as a thread to inform many others. If so ping me It needs open discussion and research

Note to Rand Paul:

You are an intelligent person...

Please study the ‘birth certificate’ that Obama claims is his.

Note in particular the NAME of the hospital he claims he was born in,

That name on that hospital did NOT emerge until at least 4 years after Obama was born. 2 hospitals merged & created the name that is on his ‘birth certificate’!!!! AFTER August 1961, when Obama was supposed to be born there!!!

Also- parents of color were referred to as “Negro” in those days......certainly NOT ‘AFRICAN’.

Study that document & see for yourself.

“...Rand Paul said Sunday that it would be “extraordinary” to have a president born outside of the U.S.”

Yes Randy, and even more extraordinary to have two in a row, but chances are.

The first not being properly challenged set a precedent, and the rules are redefined.

“If 0 is found to have not qualified nothing he signed will be law. All will be null and void and those who signed off on his eligibility will be charged with fraud. That pretty well wipes out the DNC”

That’s funny. About as funny as Hillary doing the rest of her life in Leavenworth.

funny=fantastic

The powers that be, and THEY DO BE, will NEVER allow either to happen.

The precedent they set with the Kenyan born Indonesian muslim communist is “settled” (political) science.

The uniparty supports their own. I recall McCain saying nice things about Obama and telling everyone Obama was not a muslim and that Obama would make a good president. Never listen to anything McCain says. Trump btw challenged Obama birth certificate.

It’s going to be tough to forgive Freepers for the name-calling on this issue. I know what I know, and I should have the ability to speak the simple truth here.
I am not wrong.
I love Levin, he is wrong on this like he was wrong for decades about birthright citizenship.
Born a citizen is NOT born a natural born citizen.
Sorry, you are wrong.

Why Democrats have the guts to challenge Cruz but no Republicans are willing to challenge Obama birth certificate and take it to court

Because that's how they roll.
