Yes, there is reasonable doubt. Yes, it should and likely would be resolved in favor of Ted Cruz.
I have and do support Ted Cruz. He hasn’t declared, but if he stays the course he’s on now and does declare, I can and will support Ted Cruz. That probably makes me a hypocrite. So be it. Saving all of the Constitution versus enforcing three words is more important to me right now.
My plea is that you not force a whole group of FReepers who have invested five long years carefully forming their opinions to decide right this very minute where they will stand on a hypothetical Ted Cruz candidacy. Give them time to find some peace of mind. It’s not too much to ask either.
I’m with you. Many others will be too. It’s going to take some time though, ok? It’s a very raw wound for them.
It is not up to me, it is up to Jim Robinson to determine how much rope he will give them before they hang themselves.
Right now this issue is being pushed on a daily basis either by the GOPe, the MSM, or freepers with a destroy-Ted-Cruz agenda. It is a hot button issue and IMHO it should be dealt with now. We can't sit by idly and allow Ted Cruz to be undermined on this forum. IMHO, those who think this issue is more important than saving the blessings of Liberty for our posterity, should seek a new forum to poison the well.
No, that doesn't make you a hypocrit. It means that you have weighed some confusing counter arguments and come down on the side of prudence. There is some doubt as to the technical definition in the minds of some, but there is zip zero nada doubt on the question of the intent of the very people who wrote these words. Their one and only reaons for even slipping this language into our Founding documents was to prevent someone not loyal to America becoming President. Cruz passes that test with flying colors. Period. End of discussion.
Your contributions have been great. It's not hypocrisy to weigh what's before you and act. I agree we have to let this stuff sink in, not to mention there is no declaration Cruz will run. Like you said, we need to be patient; like I said, we need to set it aside during this effort to defund, to stop wasteful spending, gum up Bambi's agenda the best we can, and throw the rats out in 2014.
