Lawyers say Canadian-born Cruz eligible to run for president

Ha Ha. :roll:
 
Just give me ... nothing.
It was posted where you could find the answers.
Your asking after receiving the reply you did in post #36 is astonishing.

You're being evasive.
 
Nobody cared about where Barack Obama was born until the Hillary Clinton supporters said he wasn't born in this country.

The issue of where Ted Cruz was born was only ever important to the people who oppose the idea of Ted Cruz being elected President.

I love how you conveniently leave out the teabaggers.
 
And why is that? What is your information on it? Obama had about the same shot, and he even got reelected after proving that he was incompetent. At least Cruz has a brain.


Because Cruz is a self serving arrogant idiot that is an attention whore that says and does outlandish things. People like that can't get the nomination. If you take off your partisan blinders you'd know that.
 
Your ethnic roots have zero to do with being eligible to be president if you are a citizen. Why even mention he has Kenyan blood if it doesn't matter?
Why even mention Cruz was born in Canada? Silly irrelevant questions is the theme of the thread.
 
This is good news on the legal front. I would be very very happy to see the GOP nominate ted Cruz for President in 2016.

So you want the republicans to lose the whitehouse again?
 
:naughty
No, I told him the post numbers to finds his answers.
That is not being evasive.

You were being evasive and your posts were long and boring when you could have just answered the questions. I skipped over your posts. Life is too short.

Whut?
She was speaking about who first started the issue. The tea party had nothing to do with that.



But I do disagree with her in regards to her blanket statement about opposition to Cruz.
I am opposed to him because he is not a natural born citizen.
He was born in Canada, was a Canadian citizen and owed his allegiance to Canada when he was born.
He wasn't even considered a citizen under the 14th amendment. His citizenship was conferred upon him by statute, which is not a natural born citizen.


Anybody who opposed Obama because he is not a natural born citizen for not being born of citizens (plural) and owing allegiance to two other countries at birth, is being a hypocrite if they support Cruz running.

Wrong.
He was given the post #s. That is not being evasive.

As for the rest of your bs; Don't care. You were not involved in the conversation.

I would like a repeat of 1964 when they went to the far right to pick a candidate who was roundly rejected by the American people an the fallout was seen downballot pretty much from coast to coast. Cruz or Paul would do that just nicely.

Well, at least we know one thing; you know nothing about Ted Cruz. So don't comment on him anymore until you know about him, which will be never. Stay home, don't vote. You are uninformed and are hurting my country.

It should be left to the states.

I hear a constant cry from the Left for the FedGov to stay out of our bedrooms yet, when it pleases them....

He is nothing more than the intellectual inheritor of anita bryant, getting away with whatever he can to secure the bigot votes. If he was running 2008, he'd be proposing an amendment to ban gay marriage altogether, just as Bush II did

He's a bastard

I didn't make a blanket statement about why people oppose Cruz. I said that the issue of where he was born was only important to people who oppose the idea of him being elected President. The people who plan to support him don't care, as long as it's confirmed that he's qualified.

Cruz had dual citizenship. His mother was an American citizen, and his father was a Cuban refugee. Cruz was raised and educated in the United States. And he was a citizen of the United States from birth. He got Canadian citizenship because Canada grants citizenship to people born there. There isn't any reason to think he has allegiance to Canada. His parents left there when he was 4 years old.

IMO, he's more concerned with the constitutionality of rulings that go against the will of the state's people.

He also gave up his Canadian citizenship.
