Your willingness to thrash our constitution to elect your guy disgusts me. You are no better then the rats that elected Zero.
The mere fact that a debate this lively would occur on FR, a place where most generally support Ted, proves my point as to just what Liberal Federal Jurists who are out to torpedo him would do if he were actually elected.
Cruz was a Canadian citizen less than two years ago. I do not think that a candidate holding citizenship from another country until he was over 40 years old and already in the US Senate is what the founders had in mind as somebody qualified to be President. There are many high positions in our government that Cruz would be very qualified for and great in but being President is not one of them. I keep hearing how smart Cruz is but I just can’t square that with him not seeing this coming and doing more to get in front of it years ago. If I had known all of what I know now about his situation earlier I would not have donated a penny to his campaign. He simply is not a NBC and qualified to be President in my view.
The Founding Fathers intended that for that one singular position, The President of the United States and the Commander in Chief of it's military, the holder of that position must be free of any hint of divided loyalties.
A dual citizen at birth (Is he a citizen of the birth country Canada? A citizen of Cuba through his father's citizenship? A citizen of America through his mother? or does he divide his loyalties in thirds?) would be subject to opposition party attack no matter what he did or didn't do with respect to a foreign crisis.
What would the Cuban Missile Crisis have looked like if Kennedy's father was Cuban?
Ann Coulter said words to the effect of, whether or not you believe Ted Cruz is a NBC depends on whether or not you support him for President! That about sums it up.
With all the disagreements, the numerous articles and quotes, etc., clearly the issue is not cut-and-dried and needs to be settled once and for all.
