It would be unconstitutional to disqualify a Muslim from the presidency because of religion, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Sunday.

Did Carson say anything about "disqualifying" anyone from being president because they are a Muslim?

NO!

He just doesn't think a Muslim should be elected to lead this country. If the people of America are stupid enough to elect another Muslim then we get what we deserve.

If Cruz is thinking that a Koran Thumpting Muslim would make great President in America, then that's Strike 4.

Cruz wasn’t talking about the voters. He was talking about a law that would say a Muslim is not permitted to be the president. Of course that’s unconstitutional.

However, the republican and democrat parties are not governmental bodies. They are private organizations, iirc. They have their own platforms, and THEY can have a platform that excludes muslims from presidential candidacy.

Correct.

He just doesn't think a Muslim should be elected to lead this country. If the people of America are stupid enough to elect another Muslim then we get what we deserve.

Okay.

If Cruz is thinking that a Koran Thumpting Muslim would make great President in America, then that's Strike 4.

Wait a second. You just corrected a misunderstanding about what Carson said...and then in the next sentence you mischaracterize what Cruz said. Cruz did not say that a "Koran Thumpting Muslim would make great President in America".

Bunch of real idiots here who seem to consider the Constitution as the Left does - a living document that can be twisted to serve a personal agenda.

Ain't no "Noble Cause" clauses and some aspects can cause one distress when equally applied. Cruz states the truth about the Constitution and yo-yos find reason to slam him for not deciding that some parts of it don't matter even though they're inconvenient at times.
