All I see on this thread is people trashing CRUZ
And you know what? He’s a big boy and can handle himself.
He don’t need me but here I am. :)
Calling people “birthers” and trying to shame them in to silence, just because they insist that according to the Constitution our President should be a natural born citizen, is a vile tactic.
Should we call supporters of the 2nd amendment “gunners” and attempt to shame them into silence? It’s the same thing.
Thinks about that the next time someone calls someone else a “birther”.
Keep in mind that it was the long-haired, dope-smoking, free-love hippies that evolved into the Yuppies that voted Reagan into the Presidency. Twice. By landslides.
In politics you find allies and common ground wherever you can, trusting that your new allies will “grow” in your direction politically and ideologically. Or at least grow away from the other side.
It’s not just Cruz who gets this; Trump does too. BOTH are working towards a deep and robust winning coalition.
Libertarians, as an example the Libertarian Party, support the Bill of Rights including the 10th amendment.
So too does Ted.
But is he natural born or is the term still relevant ?
It’s never been tested
If he gets the nomination it will be I can promise
Very few are objective over it
The very same argument that would have been used against Obama had he been actually born in Kenya as not natural born due to fathers status is now discounted by folks many of whom supported the questions about Obama
Politics kills reason and truth wherever it lies
That’s the danger of Republics when truth is totally extinguished by the mob
I mean can we even trust the Court to be impartial if this made it to their steps
They did over Gore Bush but that was a different court

Think about that the next time someone calls someone else a "birther". You are using a vile tactic. Shame on you.
People do it all the time don’t bother us none or get our knickers in a wad.
Think about it.
I defy anyone to tell me Ted Cruz is not a BY GOD AMERICAN that stands for the constitution and everything we believe in!
I’m done
I’m done
SCOTUS, you mean. Freekin SCOTUS birthers.
Whatever else Cruz may be, he is not a libertarian.

If Libs want to glom onto Ted, fine.
It's absurd to say that one earns citizenship at birth.
Cruz was born in Canada. Inconvenient, but a fact.

So? Trump was born in New York. Also inconvenient, but a fact.
You got your club, I got mine.
I took an oath on the Constitution.
And I mean it.
SCOTUS is a joke and frankly NOT constitutional.
Man Levin nails this with Men in black
You Lie.
When (if ever) was Ted Cruz a resident of Canada?
Ted Cruz is a maple syrup sucking pig! /s
Not inconvenient at all. He left while still a small child and grew up in the US. Why should his place of birth be held against him?
So what? So did Obama and a host of other subversives. Your oath is as worthless as theirs.
No, that's one of the birther rationalizations to get the answer they want.
No, I am believer.
Testify!
We all know Obama effed up the oath and then it was redone in private
No honor no allegience
