Report: Ted Cruz weighing W.H. run

[Common]

I cant wait for the Primary Debates, Cruz, Rand Paul, Rubio, Christie, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin all saying the same thing.

The govt is taking our freedom, Drones are going to kill us, We have to stop spending we have to end social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps and all other spending programs and give the top tax bracket a 90% tax cut to spur growth and assure prosperity for all americans.


Controversial freshman Sen. Ted Cruz is considering a 2016 presidential run, according to a report.
“Ted won’t be opening an Iowa office anytime soon, but he’s listening,” an anonymous longtime friend of Cruz’s told National Review (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/347052/cruz-2016). “This is all in the early stages; nothing is official. It’s just building on its own.”

Wow ... this is it?

This is what the GOP has to go up against Hillary or whoever the Democrats put up?

Great. :hello2:

[nic34]

Jeb, Ted, and Christie....

Can't wait!

[Chris]

Hillary. :grin:

[Greenridgeman]

Hillary. :grin:


Will Her Wideness run on her excellent handling of Benghazi?

Hillary "What difference at this point does it make?" Clinton

[Cigar]

Hillary. :grin:

Between Jeb, Ted, and Christie ... one has been a First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State ... :)

[Cigar]

Obviously a Clinton knows how to balance a budget if you just get out of the way.

[Chris]

Between Jeb, Ted, and Christie ... one has been a First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State ... :)

I wouldn't vote for any of the four you just listed.

[nic34]

We know chris doesn't vote. What's new?

[Chris]

We know chris doesn't vote. What's new?

I would for a good candidate. I voted for Palin.

[TheDictator]

No a Republican Congress forced a Clinton to balance a budget.

[TheDictator]

I would for a good candidate. I voted for Palin.

That meansyou had to vote for McCain too, That's ok I did to, still have a bad taste in my mouth.

[Chris]

That meansyou had to vote for McCain too, That's ok I did to, still have a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes, regrettably.

[Bigred1cav]

Goody goody goody, any of those you named will be trounced by any Democrat. The USA is not a country of mouth breathing hillbillies and gun loving militia afraid to serve in military but want to kill a negro dummies.

[nic34]

Oh MY GOD!

the anti-gubmint types really don't care who is in government because they want government to fail. the more incompetent the people who manage government, the happier they are.

palin shouldn't even be allowed near the white house for a tour, much less allowing her anywhere near the oval office.

[Chris]

Nice racist remark, red.

Palin's not God, nic.

[Chris]

No, I like people who can articulate the basics of the tea party movement: less taxes, smaller government, and more liberty. See, I listen to a person's principles and proposed policies, to their arguments, I avoid ad hom like you just engaged in.

[Chris]

I thought he was smarter than that.... blows my mind. :loco:

Or ad hom like this.

Nice straw man. Ad hom, straw men. Say something rational, please.

Articulate and Palin should not appear in the same sentence. WOW.

[Chris]

she can't articulate anything but ignorant rants.

I see you have no rational counter to what she said during the election. You're pretty much just shadow boxing.

[Chris]

Articulate and Palin should not appear in the same sentence. WOW.

More ad hom. Speaking of inarticulate illogical nonsense.

[jillian]

Nice racist remark, red.

it isn't racist to call people on their racism.

[jillian]

More ad hom. Speaking of inarticulate illogical nonsense.

from the person who thought it was ok to call the president a terrorist?

lol.. you're funny.

and no, articulate and palin don't belong in the same sentence...

[Chris]

it isn't racist to call people on their racism.

It's racist to make it up, playing the race card like that is the worst type of racism.

[Chris]

from the person who thought it was ok to call the president a terrorist?

lol.. you're funny.

and no, articulate and palin don't belong in the same sentence...

More inarticulate illogical nonsense. I can at least articulate what I think and why based on what they say and do, not merely call names and attack personally.

[Greenridgeman]

I see you have no rational counter to what she said during the election. You're pretty much just shadow boxing.


Palin doesn't sit on the internet all day making catty unpunctuated utterances.

Sarah Palin has a life, and, money!

Rabitty.

[Greenridgeman]

Rabitty.

Ratty

[TheDictator]

Just like Obama, he get the most ignorant President Award, or should that be most incompetent. Oh Both, give him two awards.

[simpsonofpg]

I bet he wil and he is not a bad choice, he is pro american and I like that in an American, I haven't seen it in 6 years

[TheDictator]

Who?

[bladimz]

Um, Teddy Cruz was birthed in Calgary, Canada. Was not born in America. Is not available to serve our great nation as President... Such a heart-breaker.

[nic34]

HOWEVER.......

Yes, Ted Cruz Can Be Born in Canada and Still Become President of the U.S.

....

But what won't prevent Cruz from becoming president is his place of birth. Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada, while his parents were living there. His father is now an American citizen, but was not at the time; his mother, however, was born in the United States.

Helpfully, the Congressional Research Service gathered all of the information relevant to Cruz's case a few years ago, at the height (nadir?) of Obama birtherism. In short, the Constitution says that the president must be a natural-born citizen. "The weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion appears to support the notion that 'natural born Citizen' means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship 'at birth' or 'by birth,' including any child born 'in' the United States, the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parents who has met U.S. residency requirements," the CRS's Jack Maskell wrote. So in short: Cruz is a citizen; Cruz is not naturalized; therefore Cruz is a natural-born citizen, and in any case his mother is a citizen.

This isn't the first time someone has questioned a candidate's citizenship -- and not just on bogus, Kenyan grounds. There were questions about John McCain's citizenship, because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone when his father was stationed there in the Navy. George Romney was born in Mexico to American parents, but faced no serious challenges to his bona fides in his 1968 run for the GOP nomination, though a few diehards even questioned his son Mitt's qualifications in 2012.

There are birthers for prospective 2012 Republican candidates Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal, too. On the Democratic side, there's no ground for any questions about Hillary Clinton or Martin O'Malley. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is lucky to have been born in the New York borough of Queens, rather than an adjoining borough; everyone knows Manhattan isn't real America, either.

Still, questioning candidates' Americanism is a veritable trend -- and it's one that the nation could stand to leave behind. While there are more immigrants in absolute numbers in the U.S. than ever before, immigrants actually make up a smaller share of the U.S. population than during the 1890-1920 immigration wave, Pew points out. Few questions arose about presidential candidates' citizenship in those days for a simple reason: They were all old white Protestant men.*

The greater diversity of candidates in both parties, reflecting more political buy-in across the ethnic spectrum, should be cause for celebration. With non-Hispanic whites making up an ever-smaller portion of the population, perhaps these birther flare-ups are the death rattle of nativism.

[bladimz]

Wow! How quickly things change. Obama, born in Hawaii, by an american citizen... his qualifications were constantly under attack. Now you don't even have to be born in the United States...
