Agreed; he's totally unacceptable.
Id be happy to vote for Cruz. He is the most conservative candidate we could hope for.
I think he is the most conservative* on the field; however, I do not believe he is constitutionally eligible and I am not willing to violate my conscience there.
I certainly won't be attacking people for throwing their vote his way.
* — conservative
is a horrid descriptor here, as it's perfectly valid to call one wanting to keep the status quo conservative
.
I voted for Bob Barr in 2008 as he was eligible and then held my nose for Romney in 2012. Kind of the reverse of you.
Heh, that's kind of funny.
When you are in a boxing match, and your opponent is using brass knuckles, you need to use brass knuckles too.
To insist on standing on principle while your opponent has an advantage will more than likely result in a win for your opponent.
Ted Cruz is one of our best possible candidates, and if he wins the nomination, i'm going to work for and support him. If anyone says "he's not a natural born citizen", I will respond "Neither was Obama."
It would be nice if we all followed the rules, but since others won't, we shouldn't be constrained by them either.
