Ted Cruz ally: Team Rand raising questions in Iowa about Cruz’s eligibility

[LibertyEagle]

He has said he would never support a war without a congressional declaration, he opposed sending arms to Syrian rebels, he opposed our action in Libya, he has stood with Rand on Drone Policy & Domestic Spying, and he voted to cease aid to Egypt...

Seems like a pretty stellar record to me.

Yet, didn't he want to send a special force into Syria, wasn't it, to get the supposed WMDs?

Regardless, I think this article is about splitting Rand and Cruz forces. We do agree on a great deal.

 

[compromise]

I am not attacking him, but he isn't anything close to the best or second best US Senator. He doesn't agree on Randon everything but is pretty decent for a US Senator.

Who's better than him in your opinion?

He's at least in the top 5 Senators in the last 20 years.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Paul and Lee are substantially better.

Point I'm making, is to even be having this conversation about Ted Cruz or Rand Paul being the top 2 candidates (besides pre-ordained Bush/Christie) this far out is nothing but encouraging.

If Rand doesn't win the nomination, and it goes to Cruz, I'd work just as hard to get him nominated as I would if it were Rand. All this bickering over petty differences doesn't help our movement, it stalls it and plays right into the establishments hands.

Dude, you can cherry pick whatever facts you want to back up your assertions, the truth is, the founders weren't explicitly clear when they defined what a "Natural Born" citizen was.

Mike Church devoted an hour to this yesterday, backed up with some great research (as always) and as long as he renounces his Canadian citizenship, I find him completely eligible to be President of the United States.

Uhh, not me.... If your fine with his Goldman Sachs wife then go right ahead! Maybe he'll make her secretary of the tres.. That cool? Oh and his little Bush buddy Co_chairing his PAC says enough for me... Reckon you haven't been around long enough to know the establishments ways of stopping one that is not theirs..



And no, he's not eligible, but they'll sure make him be as that's all they have at this point in stopping Rand's path to the white house...

Aside from some chatter on the internet nobody is going to care where Cruz was born. Just like Obama his mother was a citizen.

 

[enoch150]

one fundamental thing some people misunderstand

rand paul likely cares very little about whether he personally becomes the president or not.. i genuinely think he just wants to do something admirable by changing the course of the political debate.. his fame and popularity really is just a leverage he uses in order to talk about the issues and he uses presidential run as a bait. if you look at all his past actions that people have come to call political achievements, or political theatrics from those less favorable of him, you could say his 13 hour filibuster and many other things were purely calculated political ingenuity, but quite frankly i think even the response he received shocked him. he planned very little in all of that.

It wasn't a coincidence that the filibuster took place on the same night as Republican leadership was meeting with Obama. The filibuster was planned.

"native-born" would probably have been a better term to use.

Also, why is it so hard to find candidates who were born here?

 

[CaptLouAlbano]

"native-born" would probably have been a better term to use.

Probably because the first President was born before we were a nation. Actually I think Van Buren was the first born after the Constitution was ratified.

There is nothing "natural" about Ted Cruz's US citizenship. He is more Canadian than he is American. In order, to be a "natural born citizen" it must be evident from nature (born in the country, to citizens of the country), not some statute.

True, but in his case he was born in "Hawaii" which is a state... Not a foreign country as in Cruz's case, BIG difference imo..

 

[ClydeCoulter]

It will be okay, he's "our guy", it's always okay if it's "our guy" /sarc

 

[Christian Liberty]

I'm more worried about Cruz's foreign policy than where he was born.

Thank you! A voice of reason regarding Sen. Cruz.

That said, I'm at the point where I really don't have a problem with liberty people "Playing dirty" anymore. If telling people Ted was born in Canada (Which is true) is what we need to get rid of him, so be it.

Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and possibly Ron Wyden (Don't know the details.)

Ted is in the "Top five" in a group of 98 traitors and two people that are flirting dangerously close to being traitors, at least one of whom for political reasons. This group contains 100 people. Congratulations, Ted.

"Get a rope" applies for Ted Cruz along with all other warmongerers.

WOW!!!!!! Cruz isn't even in Congress a year and you're hanging him? Jesus.... Let him screw up first. Sheesh.

He's already advocated a war in Syria.

That said, my post wasn't intended to be taken literally...

I wouldn't say a war. He wanted a strike team to remove chemical weapons, albeit risky.

 

[Christian Liberty]

Which he admitted would require 75,000 troops.

Which, is enough for me to reject him, even if he agreed with me on every single issue besides that.

I'd love to see a source or a quote for the 75,000 troops he wanted to send into Syria. All I ever saw was him advocating securing chemical weapons, not an ideal position but not so drastic as to reject him outright on everything forever from now on.

I swear some of you love pissing into the wind.
