Isn't Cruz's situation exactly the same as Zero?

No. Obama's story (that the left has accepted) is the he was born in Hawaii to a mother who was a US citizen but whose father never was.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a non-US citizen father but a US citizen mother.

The left made a big deal over the fact that Obama was born in the US, and that the 14th Amendment made him a citizen at birth. Their primary argument was based on the 14th Amendment and the Wong Kim Ark SCOTUS decision. In effect, they were arguing that NBC = born on US soil. So they'll have no problem with self-contradiction when they argue against Cruz's eligibility.

Why are you still here? You have whined to me and to others to leave you alone - that you can’t make your points without getting the zot. Yet you keep making points and when we refute you - you whine “Leave me alone - I don’t wanna get zotted.”

How can I put this nIcely??? I’ll try this...

STFU and GTFO.

(Was that nice?)
