Basically....so what, other than abortion, we don’t execute the child of a criminal.
Whoa to the first two. Why don’t we know any of these things? Too many questions for someone who ran for President and is still sort of in the picture.
1. My overall riding concern after reading those timelines is: OUR COUNTRY CEASES TO EXIST IF WE CEASE TO FOLLOW OUR CONSTITUTION.
We need to openly vet our candidates for all offices out of respect for the People, to make sure they are openly and clearly eligible. It doesn’t take much. Any confusion in documentation should be dealt with openly in front of We, the People, or the person should not run for office. No sealing the eligibility documents (even the parents’ if they apply).
Too many times, a “ruling establishment and its media,” not a legal authority, has suppressed, Alinsky-style, any questioning from a worried populace. We have a right to be clearly shown a candidate’s eligibility.
2. Were Ted Cruz’s parents ever married? How do these people get divorced without getting married? (Obama’s parents did the same! Don’t any record sources check? I need to find a wealthy man and “divorce” him then.)
3. If indeed that was Ted’s father in the picture with Oswald, Ted must have known. For him to have known that, and run for our President without mentioning or explaining away that contact would mean either he is really stupid or really devious. I don’t know if that was him but if it is, Ted should be forced to explain how he was too stupid to know about it or that he wanted to hide it from We, the People. What else is he hiding? What about the girls with bars over their eyes? Any more secrets??
I want to write an editorial about this being the most revealing election in America’s history.
It really is amazing how well that fits, and I know it was made before photoshop.
I think you forgot that both parents were bigamists.
Yes. Just about everything Ted chooses to say reflects on HIS OWN CHARACTER, no matter whom he’s knocking at the time.
He chose to say that even though Trump is a rat, still, he doesn’t desire to copulate with him. He chose to say that. I mess up when I speak, but that sentence never comes out of my mouth.
They did not file a request for citizenship for child born abroad...they must have not felt being an American was not important...or possible?
Haven't we learned our lesson with “O”?
There is just constant things that make me uncomfortable about Cruz.
One day I was strolling past that very spot in downtown New Orleans where that very photo was taken. A group of people—in town for a convention, as it turned out—was standing in a circle, silent, heads bowed prayerfully, staring intently at something on the sidewalk.
Curiosity overwhelmed me, so I elbowed my way into the circle to discern the object of their awe.
It was a cockroach.
A huge, shiny, black B-52 dive bomber of a New Orleans cockroach, comatose but still alive, wiggling his nasty little feets languorously in the heat.
They’d never seen anything like it. They were Yankees.
All eyes turned to me for an answer.
So I told them, “Welcome to New Orleans!” and proceeded to inform them that they were standing on theeee verrrry spot where Lee Harvey Oswald had handed out his famous Fair Play for Cuba leaflets.
“Really?” said a saucer-eyed blonde woman, in a half-whisper.
“Yep,” I said, and, pointing at the cockroach, “and that’s him. Reincarnated and back in his hometown. Try not to step on him, hear? We’re very protective of our local celebrities.”
I was halfway down the block before those dumb Yankees realized they had been had.

“...born in New Orleans. He lived in at least nine different locations...”
One time I was drinking beer with some folks in an upstairs apartment on State Street, above a trendy coffee house.
The apartment had a weird vibe, so I asked my friends if there was a ghost.
They said their landlady had told them little Lee Harvey had lived there as a lad of seven, with his mother Marguerite and brother Robert.
There are still a bunch of his mother’s relatives in New Orleans.
His brother Robert now lives in Wichita Falls, Texas. His widow Marina is in Texas, remarried. His two daughters, June and Rachel, who were babies in November 1963, prefer not to be found.
Both Rafaels raise questions that are not easily answered.
A. Who paved Cruz’s way into Princeton & Harvard? Who paid? Without connections it’s very hard to gain acceptance. He did not come from the typical prep school. Hispanic foreign Canadian status? He hasn’t whined about paying off student loans. Someone had to help Cruz land SCOTUS clerkships. Has there been an invisible hand behind Ted due to his father’s past?... Daddy Bush?
B. Rafael B. Cruz is an interesting character. Most Cubans, especially those his age, express bitter deep hatred and anger towards Fidel Castro. They have family and friends that Fidel imprisoned, tortured or murdered. Repression and communism destroyed their lives. Castro seized all their assets - homes, property, businesses, banks, cars, and personal wealth. They lost their freedom to speak freely, object, assemble, travel, etc... they lost everything and they will curse Castro as long as they live.
The Cubans lucky enough to escape Castro, never went back. Certainly Cruz would have been receiving very negative news back from Cuba from his family and friends. Yet he claims that he returned in 1959.
1) Cruz’s passage to America is odd. It only makes sense that he was very pro-Castro and sent specifically to Texas to live among other Cuban communist exile students. If Cruz had been protesting in Miami, his life would have been cut short. Para-military groups were training in the Florida Everglades with plans to overthrow Castro and liberate Cuba. Omega 66 and other factions would have eliminated Cruz.
2) Aliases. His explanation for dropping his family name tied to his Spanish heritage is not so common.
3) How does a foreign teenager get immediate acceptance to a Texas University? Who pays the tuition, room & board? How did he get from Key West to Texas? Someone made lots of arrangements for Cruz.
4) Cruz speaks Spanish, how does he complete university level studies and graduate in four years.
5) What happened to Cruz’s family in Cuba- parents, siblings, cousins? Did any eventually emigrate?
6) The Cuban community sticks together like glue. Cubans fled to Florida - Miami, Orlando, Tampa. A Cuban teenager alone in Texas is quite the anomaly. One article mentions that there were five Cubans at UT, they must have been planted together, right there, for a reason.
7) Canada. There was lots of oil exploration centered right underneath Cruz’s feet, in Texas. Cruz left Texas for some other reason. (Draft evasion-bigamy-other)
8) Did Rafael resume his seismic-computer career in Texas after he sold his company in Canada.
This ole dog don’t hunt.
He wrote and signed a letter to the newspaper with the other 6 Cuban students. The letter protested USA policy towards Cuban refugees. He didn’t want the USA to accept any Cuban pro-Baptista refugees. He wanted their blood. He wanted Castro to try them like “common criminals”. There’s no doubt that is Rafael Cruz.
I agree the Oswald one is not as clear cut, but it was four years later and there really weren’t that many pro-Castro Cubans in the States at the time. Both had lived in New Orleans in the 60’s. When he was at the University of Texas, there were only 15 Cubans altogether. 6 participated in the rally, including Cruz.
We don’t have a good timeline for Cruz like everything else about the man. I’m sure the FBI does though, since he was a foreign student participating in anti-American rallies.
I confess that I was the person at the grassy knoll back then.
“Whoever he is, he is dressed like Oswald”
White shirt and a skinny black tie was the standard cultural issue back in that day.
Thanks Lazamataz. Even if he had been in New Orleans and taken a brochure, that wouldn't mean much, as he'd already have escaped from Cuba and the torture and turned against Castro. Also, no one (including Oswald) had any idea what would happen in November '63. The Wikimedia photo of Castro has numbers written above other men in the photo there, so the Warren Commission probably had identified them, or their law enforcement sources had.
August 16, 1963 - Lee Harvey Oswald passing out Fair Play for Cuba leaflets in New Orleans
I am sure the CIA must have a file on Rafael Cruz, or whomever he was at the time. His pro-Castro sentiments explain why he was not resettled in the Cuban communities; Rafael =Shark food. So they settled the communist pro-Castro men in Texas or New Orleans.
Rafael’s entire timeline is suspect. It’s amazing he began college studies without understanding English and graduated in four years.
No he didn’t really escape Castro’s Cuba. He sounds very pro-Castro and it appears that remained of that sentiment during his early adulthood. He maintained his Cuban citizenship for 15 years after leaving Cuba.
His vocal pro Castro communist sentiment is why Rafael was not resettled among 150,000 of his countrymen in Miami, Orlando, or Tampa. His port of entry was Key West and he was taken to Houston, Texas.
Exactly how to you expect to bring voters to your camp when you slander those they supported?
I see the reality of the situation, Trump has the momentum, and Kasich and Cruz are engaged in a backfire operation to keep Trump from reaching 1237.
