Lost in all the back and forth of the Republican presidential primary is a profound question for the conservative movement: Whither Ted Cruz? Let us not overlook a conservative powerhouse, with a proven track record of organizing actual voters across a wide swath of states, expertise at small-dollar fundraising, and the discipline to endure months of heckling by Donald Troll and his oafish minions.
Is no one else excited to see the next chapter for Cruz? If he so chooses, Cruz can be the conservative leader he was so often attacked for not being over the last few years. Now that he is no longer required to hedge his every position, craft every utterance for maximum flexibility, and throw inconvenient political groups under the bus, Cruz can focus on actually legislating and moving the American political center rightward.
As I argued last year (in an unheeded essay urging he stay put in the Senate):
The selective service card says that he was in the USA in 1967...almost 1968.
Amen!
Why can you not consider that a patriot might be convinced that he is a globalist Trojan Horse, and that we already have too many treachers in the Republican Party, especially the Senate?
For me, it has nothing to do with something so petty as “like” or not. I don’t “like” Trump and never have, but I will eagerly vote for him, because I am convinced he is pro-America, which I cannot say of Cruz.
Capital idea!
I have not been able to find a marriage certificate, and I’ve been reading that no one has.
It should have been announced in some newspaper, but I suspect that the Canadian birth certificate suggests that Eleanor and Rafael had never officially married.
“His social conservative positions are right on the money.”
Yes, but people are concerned about his support for a Globalist agenda that he apparently shares with his Goldman-Sacks wife Heidi. Coker Bill, TPA, and TPP votes give one pause and are eroding Cruz’s support.
One need not be a newbie to primary Cruz. There are capable people in Texas that could challenge his continued tenure in the Senate. I, for one, hope that one rises. It’s time to dump the Globalists.
So many Trump trolls still spewing their venom and lies about Ted. Ain’t gonna change.
At the time of his birth, Cruz's parents had lived in Calgary for three years and were working in the oil business as owners of a seismic-data processing firm for oil
Breitbart:
The Cruz campaign offered the following statement exclusively to Breitbart News, presented in full (original emphasis): Eleanor was never a citizen of Canada, and she could not have been under the facts or the law. In short, she did not live in Canada long enough to be a Canadian citizen by the time Cruz was born in 1970: Canadian law required 5 years of permanent residence, and she moved to Canada in December 1967only 3 years before Senator Cruzs birth. Nothing in the document you sent shows anything to the contrary.
Cruz supports the NWO...Are you good with that???
The story goes that his mother became a Canadian citizen...And Canada doesn't recognize dual citizenship...
So if Lyin Ted is a citizen, why has he done everything to avoid proving it?
All 3 are NWO globalists...Just Cruz is a little more vocal about the Constitution than the other 2...
The selective service registration says that Cruz was in New Orleans in late 1967.
The National Review article says Rafael and Eleanor met in New Orleans.
I’m not sure any of our brains can process past this coming November!!
I’m not getting any younger, and while age might be making me wiser, it isn’t making me any smarter. :>)
I am not but I am sure there are people who are.
If Texas wants to keep him as Senator that is their business.
Following his divorce from his first wife, Rafael Cruz moved to New Orleans, Louisiana for a new job in the Energy Industry. It was while working in New Orleans that Senator Cruzs parents would meet. His mother, Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson, was originally from Delaware. Senator Cruzs mother had come South to study Mathematics at Rice University in Houston, Texas. As she likes to tell it, she refused to learn to type so that when asked about her typing skills, she would say she couldnt and they would have to hire her as a Computer Programmer instead. It was while working as a Computer Programmer in the Oil Industry, that she met Rafael Cruz.After their marriage, Senator Cruzs parents took their careers to the Oil Industry in Canada. It was in Canada that Senator Cruz was born. He was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on December 22, 1970.
——Cruzs votes on the Coker Bill, TPA, and TPP identify him as having a Globalist agenda that he apparently shares with his wife Heidi.——
I never bought into the idea Cruz is a globalist....
I don’t have an issue with Abbot running for his seat....
That was not her maiden name but her name by a previous marriage, so probably the current legal name as of the birth?
So who exactly is Ted Cruzs mother, and how did she end up living in Canada? The Texas senators mother, Eleanor Darragh, was born to a Irish-Italian family in Delaware and was the first in her family to attend college, the National Journal reported in June. She worked as a computer programmer in New Orleans and Texas, and married Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, a mathematics graduate, in 1969, according to a big story published Wednesday in Macleans, one of Canadas top magazines. Cruzs parents moved to Canada to process seismic exploration data for oil companies in Calgary, and he was born there in 1970. http://www.ibtimes.com/why-did-ted-cruzs-mother-move-canada-texas-senator-says-eleanor-darragh-makes-him-2266436
I lost count of the “conservatives” piling on, quoting “no religious test, no religious test.” Of course, the Constitutione says there shall be no religious test for public office.
Congress ought to find that Islam is not a religion.
