Apparently, being a baldfaced liar is what it takes to become the Republican frontrunner in a presidential campaign.

To all of those who still think that President Obama was not a natural born American citizen, with proof staring at you in the face, both from the forms he produced, and the fact that this once again becomes an issue even though it's not an issue, I have some land deals involving beachfront property in Nebraska that I'd like to talk to you about.

The fact that 35% of Republican voters are behind this guy is inexplicable. In and of itself, that's a good reason to vote for Hillary.

Of course, I have to wonder why Cruz waited until 2014 to renounce his dual Canadian citizenship, and I think that is a legitimate question to ask someone who wants to be President of the US, but it's not a legal question. Most of Cruz's political views are far more concerning and questionable than the fact that he was born on foreign soil and had a Cuban father. Of course, the conservative media distorted, lied and bent Obama's birth and the nationality and religion of his father so far out of proportion to use as a weapon. I can't imagine the conclusions that would have been drawn had Obama's father been Cuban. They'd have had him playing in Fidel's backyard with his kids, being influence by the Castro regime, and part of a plot to take over the US by putting him in the White House. And Obama was only accused of being born in Kenya, refuted by a mountain of evidence produced which proved he was born in Hawaii. Cruz really was born on foreign soil.

I think the number of Republicans who wish that Donald Trump was just the nightmare that went away is growing larger by the day.

And notice the complete flip-flop by Cruz himself on the subject.




I for one think anyone who has lived substantially in the US should be eligible.

But what incredible hypocrisy.

[Haruo]

Betcha anything Cruz is a voodoo worshipper, too. You know Cubans.

But yes, the hypocrisy (assuming the quotes are undoctored) is astonishing.

As I watch the GOP go through this debacle of unqualified and unelectable candidates, it makes me want to cry. To think that our electorate has sunk to the levels that we have such people as Trump and Cruz leading the field is an indictment on the state of our electorate. The only thing so far that the GOP candidates have agreed upon is that none of them like Obama and all think they would have done a better job, though none has told us how. Also, they all seem bent on starting another war somewhere to make someone else's sons and daughters die "to bring democracy" to another part of the world. Sad, indeed!

Ed: How do you figure that a person tho was elected to the Senate from the 2nd most populous state in country is undetectable ?

But then I know it is TEXAS. Electable and capable are not synonyms.
