Cruz is totally wrong. Discrimination is not a "State Right". States Rights cases are never about what they should be about. States Rights is the right to operate their government independent of the federal government with a few exceptions. States Rights is not the right to enslave people, to cheat black Americans, to flood their state with illegal aliens and then have 87% of them signed up for federal welfare, it's not about forcing pregnant girls and women into childbirth against their will, it's not about States enrolling in federal Medicaid funding and then breaking the rules to cheat poor people, or pass "marriage laws" that discriminate against US citizens because of who they are, by race, sexual orientation, or other characteristics they have no control over.
I can't stand Jorge Ramos because of his positions on immigration, but I must say, he got it right on the Supreme Court.
Americans who are States Rights Advocates, and I am one, but a little different than some, because I don't believe at all for a second that it was the intent or words of the US Constitution to use States Rights to discriminate against or oppress our citizens, because that is totally inconsistent with the fundamentals of our country, which is freedom for all, liberty for all, not "freedom for me, but not for thee."
Also, if this is Ted's example of making arguments for his beliefs and causes, then it is no wonder he never gets a bill he wants passed in the US Congress. He is terrible. You just want to slap him.
Ted Cruz is not only a menace to the United States and the American Worker, he is a menace to the civil liberties and equal rights of the American People.
Ted Cruz is absolutely right in opposing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on homosexual marriage! As for Jorge Ramos, even the sight of him disgust me.
I disagree. I support the US Supreme Court's decision to stop people from hiding behind state laws to mistreat gay couples. Gay people are citizens of our country and good, hardworking, sweet, intelligent and capable people. They should not be forced into unhappy and incomplete lives through marriage laws simply because they're gay. If they meet the age, citizenship, blood tests if they still do them, no other spouses somewhere requirements, then they should be able to live together as a married couple with all the legal and financial protections of any married couple anywhere in the United States.
Your position is contrary to my own and a huge majority of this county's conservative voters, but that's okay because this is the United States of America. Here we're able to share our opinions on such issues without fear of government intervention.Quote:

Several of us have here have challenged Rubio's eligibility right along with Cruz. Trump hasn't challenged him on that I guess because he was born in the US and that seems to be what Trump was most concerned about, the foreign birth and foreign citizenship. But he'll probably get to it when the time comes. And it looks like it's around the corner. He may have enough on Rubio to not have to go there.
Ted Cruz, according to most legal experts, is a natural born citizen of the Unitied States.
According to most Americans, he isn't.
Obviously enough in Iowa did. Where did you get the notion that most Ameicans don't think Cruz is a natural born citizen?Quote:

I'm still looking for a source to back up your comment that most Americans don't think Cruz is eligible based on his birth. When you make a comment such is this, you need to provide a source. If you can't prove it's fact, it would at least be nice if you would identify it as opinion instead of trying to pass it off as fact. Just saying ..........Quote:

Not all voters question the integrity of such statements because they trust the Establishment like Ted Cruz and Steve King. But clearly not the majority, because Cruz didn't win a majority or "most". Based on the results of a fraudulent Caucus, he only won a small plurality that I believe will be challenged by Trump and Carson.
Carson's fundraising is up 300% because of what Cruz did.
The reputations of everyone in the Cruz campaign have been tarnished as the dirty tricksters they've proved themselves to be.
Cruz has not only damaged the integrity of the first primary in the country, the famous Iowa Caucus, he's burned the Republican brand as a bunch of liars, crooks and thugs who laugh, giggle, smirk, joke and hee-hee about dishonesty, lying and cheating in political activities.
The Republican Party that is responsible for this Caucus has no choice but to condemn on a grand scale what was done by the Cruz campaign in the Iowa Caucus and do whatever is possible to right the wrong, because many many Republicans are already very concerned about fairness in this primary which due to Ted Cruz and his campaign chairman, Steve King, is off to a very bad start.
We need to move pass Iowa, that's over and their are no legal procedures available to change the outcome.
Lesson's learned from the Obama challenges, I think we can make a stronger argument with Rubio's citizen status and
need to file eligibility challenges with the States Voter Register's prior to voting in the up-coming state elections.
After years of following Ted King, due to his position on immigration and border security, it has become very obvious to me that he is his own man and only speaks his own mind. Ted Cruz or no one else could make him say anything he didn't want to say.Quote:

I'm still waiting for your source that proves most Americans don't support Ted Cruz's eligibility to run for President of the United States.
I don't see Cruz or his campaign workers "tarnished". What I see is a misunderstanding that went a little far. From what I understand it was CNN that spurred the incident with their report and it just snow-balled from there. Heck, now I'm reading around the internet that Carson may actually be close to bowing out. True or not, I don't know. The mailer that you have been so vocal about was completely legal and fairly routine from what I understand. It certainly wasn't worth all the hoopla you made over it.
You'll be waiting a long time for any more thoughts or opinions from this member.
