Oddly enough, per DrewM, the media’s suddenly very interested in this subject and would indeed like to debate it. From where does this newfound respectability for Birtherism spring, I wonder. Byproduct of a typically slow August news month? Or just hassling a conservative with presidential buzz whom they loathe, maybe partly as payback for anti-Obama Birthers hassling Precious for his own birth certificate for so long?
Via Mediaite and MFP, here’s Cruz on the radio this morning recusing himself from further debate on the subject. That’s wise, and I agreed with Ed’s take this morning that he was probably just tweaking the media in deciding to release his birth certificate. But I don’t see the logic in having his spokesman then deny that he’s a dual American-Canadian citizen by birth, as he almost certainly is under Canadian law. That only encourages lefty media to challenge him on it, which in turn will fuel “Can we trust a dual citizen as commander-in-chief?” hysteria on the fringe. Maybe he’s better off doing a just-in-case-I’m-Canadian citizenship renunciation now, to check the box. Four months, no problem. Start the new year off finally free and clear of Ottawa’s sinister America-sabotaging influence.
In other news from a bored, Cruz-hating media, some of his liberal classmates at Princeton didn’t like him.
In other news, Cruz has been called the most hated man in the Senate. When liberals and GOPers dislike you, that's a ringing endorsement.
How does renouncing Canadian citizenship make you a NBC? Doesn’t he have to dummy up a BC with two US citizen parents?
Well said SOTC....got your “Edmund” on today I see!
Yes,I should have mentioned the "natural born citizen" issue.I'm not a Constitutional scholar so my opinion wouldn't mean much.But one thing's for sure...it would be damn difficult for the Rats to wage a "he's not legally qualified" campaign although,on second thought,there's not much that they're not capable of.From what I've heard about Cruz he seems to be an outstanding guy and would very probably make a *much* better President than has Osama Hussein Obama.
I was trying to remember where I had heard the ‘Pharisee’ label before ...
You may be right. From the comments section: "Rand Paul’s people are also pushing the story: http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2534467 "
RE: According to a link on Drudge, Cruz announced last evening that he was going to renounce his Canadian citizenship.
Yes he did. It’s been discussed in FR too:

If people are making a big fuss out of a junior Senator’s circumstance of birth, this just tells me one thing:
There couldn’t be more of a sure sign that Ted Cruz is running for president in 2016:
This is why I can easily revert to hating the Paul bots....they never ever run against the Democrats. They have yet to learn that the way to win a Republican primary while allowing yourself a chance to win the general election...is to put points up on the board against the Democrats IN THE GOP PRIMARY!!!
Ted needs to make public note that since the current President was born in parts unknown at least we all know where he was born.
People who won't modify the truth to fit their ideas of political expediency. D@mn those people with ethics!
This is so true, and in fact, they've showed up now on this thread - doing their usual, which is to cloak themselves in some sort of faux self superiority both morally and Constitutionally - decrying anyone who interprets the Constitution in any way a jot or tittle differently than they do as some sort of ethical retard.
Absolute purists like this never consider the INTENT of the citizen ruling, which was for one reason and one reason only: to insure that the person running did not have mixed allegiances. In other words, the technicalities regarding Cruz may be up for debate, but he passes the allegiance test with flying colors. GAME SET MATCH.
:-)
Didn't someone relatively important warn us about the leaven of the Pharisees somewhere?
The author wrote that, and I think I know the answer. The liberals love to see conservatives tear each other and their viable candidates apart over obscure legalisms
I’ve not seen one person on the Palin ping list that isn’t solidly behind Cruz as well. Good catch.
...sounds vaguely familiar, yes....
hehehehe …. you said “tittle” ….. hehehehe
Who ARE these people?
Nutcases who will tell you they are all about "ethics". Useful idiots for the Hillary campaign. They need to shut up and let the adults elect a President.
