Now we are finally getting somewhere.

Some of you birther people are just head cases. Getting somewhere? It's like your determined to find people who aren't ineligible to run for President. Ted Cruz is an excellent Senator and absolutely someone who may have a presidential future. Fox News is very likely WRONG in this case.

Here is a discussion about this very subject in the LA Times:

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/01/news/la-pn-questions-about-the-qualifications-of-ted-cruz-the-gops-newest-star-20120801

The TLDR version is that Cruz has an American mother so he's obviously an American citizen, and people with similar birth situations (outside the US) such as McCain and George Romney would have been eligible if they had won. So far no one has challenged a presidential candidate born outside of the United States. I think Ted Cruz is probably eligible and based on what I've seen so far, I hope at some point he runs and wins.

“So far no one has challenged a presidential candidate born outside of the United States.”

One thing of which we can be certain:
If Ted Cruz tries a presidential run, the ‘rats and the media will be ALL OVER THIS, and they WILL NOT LET UP.

They will so blanket the airwaves with the assertion that Cruz is not a “natural born citizen” that — whether he is or not — those “low information voters” will believe he isn’t.

Paging Mr. Goebbels, your services are required by the blue party!

Why don't you just come clean and admit you don't care to have any requirements at all? If the shadow of an American fell on them at some time in their life, that is all that is necessary for you to regard them as qualified.

You bring absolutely nothing of any value to this conversation.

Ah big old NOOOOOOOOOOOO

the 2 situations are no way similar...

McCains parents were in Panama because his under the jurisdiction thereof father who loved America was sent there by the US military...

George Romneys grandfather who hated America had turned his back on the US and was an ex-patriot and immigrated to Mexico to stay forever because he was against the laws of the US and refused to lived under the jurisdiction thereof...

the Romney family was there more than 20 years...thats not just a visit..some Romneys still live there..

George was born in Mexico and was about 5 when the Romneys illegally entered the US because of the revolution down in Mexico...

(They only left Mexico because of the revolution...the intention was never to return)

Willard even boasted that his father was an illegal alien when he gave his speech at the GOP convention...

No, while McCain could have a case for eligibility,

George Romney never could have...

when the Romneys mingled amongst hundreds of genuine returning American tourists and snuck into the US they never showed any papers or admitted they were Mexicans and had not just been visiting for a few days like the rest of the Americans fleeing north across the border..

George never became a naturizalized American citizen...

so his son Willard was not a NBC when he was born...

try that one out for size...
