It would be nice if FREEPERS stopped trying to undermine him as well.
It would be nice if instead of trying to belittle a candidate other than the one we support, we would state our reasons for supporting our preference, and back them with facts. But since when has politics been "nice"?
Are you under the impression that, if Freepers all agree that Cruz is eligible, then somehow all the liberals will agree? You don't expect them to play by the same set of rules when there is an alternative that would benefit them, do you?
As early as was convenient, some liberal group would sue claiming that Cruz was ineligible. Should the Supreme Court take the case, do you want them to decide the issue Constitutionally, or do you want them to accept an ugly precedent?
It's not undermining any candidate to openly discuss strengths and weaknesses. The Main Stream Media selected both Romney and McCain for the Republicans. While it served their interests in having us select a weak candidate, they did everything they could to advance them. Remember all the complimentary language about McCain being a "maverick" and being willing to cross the aisle.
As far as I could tell, neither candidate holds what I would consider strong political principles. Romney supported "Romneycare". McCain had to drag himself to the NRA meeting to claim "I get it now" or equivalent. He was there to advance HIS interests, not mine. And he was very late to the party.
