TED CRUZ NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

[djAdvocate]

this is what the Birthers should be saying, and they should be fighting tooth and nail to have him striken from the ballot.

his legal standing is FLIMSIER than Obama's.  not only did he not have TWO parents that were US citizens, he was not even born in the US.  therefore, if Obama was not qualified on that basis, then Cruz is even less qualified.

where is the outcry? or were those on the left right when they claimed that this was primarily motivated by racism?

That's right! He was born in Canada! It's part of our plot to take over!

[dondub]

Where's gofor when you need him?

Ugh. Canada wants nothing to do with him.

[ArchietheDragon]

Cruz is just there as a target for the left to open fire on. Don't waste all your ammo on this guy who has no chance of winning a primary in his own party let alone a general.

[happyhoix]

Well, Cruz is white and from a nice country like Canada, so it isn't the same thing at all as being black and from a Muslim African country, where all the residents are indoctrinated into wanting to take over the US and bring it to ruin.

So not nearly as scary.

[djAdvocate]

it turns out that Orly Taitz thinks that Cruz is NOT qualified.

let the circus begin!

First things first! The dogs and ponies have to be fed! Can we feed Cruz to the dogs? Then, we only have to worry about the ponies, and they'll eat grass.

Obama. Really? I have heard from very reliable conservative sources who MUST remain anonymous that Obama was born in North Korea and Kim Sung-ae, the second wife of North Korea's founder, Kim Il-sung, was the midwife during Barack's delivery by Ann Dunham in a birthing pool. This explains Obama's attraction to Hawaii and swimming in the ocean.

I suppose I must include the following:

But...but... Cruz is from a "socialist" country! That should be enough to scare any Republican.

I also heard him on one of the talking head shows this morning telling the interviewer that since his wife quit her job, their family health insurance would be covered by Obamacare!

That should be his political death knell right there.

Maybe it should be a travel slogan.

Hawaii, the Muslim African country close to home.

I would not worry about Cruz.  His campaign is going to go nowhere-too extreme and only of interest to the very far right.  He will though provide plenty of entertainment this primary season.

[Ryan]

Cruz isn't going anywhere....he's the right's equivalent of Howard Dean.  

[zibazinski]

If he was a viable candidate I'd look into it. But I'm sure he's figured out how to cover it up, too.

Its easy. Wiki has he was born in Canada, his Dad is a Cuban native and Mom is from the US.

Well there you go... Proof positive.

It's in Wikipedia, so it MUST be true!

Fine. What does Richardpedia say?

It's common knowledge that Rafael was born in Canada and has a Cuban father. He is also a secret Muslim.

Ted Cruz sat at the knee of the late Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

he's making no attempt to cover it up.  neither did Obama.

he is a Manchurian candidate.

[tallguy]

So....

Within two minutes, I read this post, did a quick search to remind myself of the reference,  and while reading that heard the phrase "Manchurian candidate" on Criminal Minds.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.  (Cue Twilight Zone theme.)

I agree. If he doesn't meet the requirements of "natural born citizen", then No, he is not entitled to run for the office of President. 

[Value Buy]

Why should right wing conservatives be upset?
They lost that argument on the commie, non-American Muslim candidate, so it must be ok now.
Can't beat em, join em!



I know posters will not take this as sarcasm, but just sayin
Besides, dj is just trying to get a rise out of posters who are no longer here.......

[Phoenix84]

Well, for the record, I never bought into the bith nonsense with Obama. From what I've read, mr. Cruz is also an American, so it also is not an issue.

To me, the law states you must be a U.S. citizen by birth and not obtain citizenship later in life.

Since his platform is abolishment of Obamacare, that's some spiffy mental gymnastics right there.

I've been waiting for this thread. I'm also waiting for some of the birthers whose panties were all in a wad about Obama to explain why their argument doesn't apply to Cruz.

Alberta-born Sen. Ted Cruz has given up his Canadian dual citizenship. The renunciation became official on May 14, roughly 9 months after he learned he wasn't only an American.

How come I understand the rules of dual citizenship better than he did?  I'm not that big of a Mike Meyer fan.

because you're smarter than the average Ted Cruz.
