That won't stop from Freepers from attacking him, and still trying to maintain that they are conservative.

There's one thing that I'm sure will qualify as an attack by some, though I think it has merit: eligibility.
He was born outside the US [Canada] while his father was still a Cuban citizen… so how does he qualify?

(Note that citing a statute, any statute, passed by congress is to assert that he is a naturalized citizen as the only citizenship power delegated by the constitution to the congress is that of establishing a uniform rule of naturalization [Art 1, Sec 8, Clause 4].)

(Also, note that the 14th Amendment is not applicable: being born in Canada, he was not in the jurisdiction of the United states; moreover, it does not delegate any new powers to the congress.)

That's a long wait where a train don't come. Even the Supremes have said that. He's eligible.

You say the 14th gives Congress no additional powers. I would direct you to read section 5:

“Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

Your main argument is asinine and not worth debating. I’m just pointing out that you couldn’t even get your preemptive arguments right...
