Senator Cruz's message makes a lot of sense

Like many others, Senator Cruz is in Iowa to "test the waters," as they like to say. Frankly, I don't care much about the politics of 2016. It's too early anyway.

I am listening to what these candidates are saying.

Senator Cruz' message is upbeat, pro-American, pro-freedom and one that Hispanics should be taking note of:

"In his 26-minute speech at The Family Leadership Summit, the 42-year-old senator presented himself as a zesty outsider. He called on grassroots activists to help him and a small band of like-minded lawmakers pressure Congress to defund Obamacare, drawing ovations for that , for his call to abolish the IRS, and for his refusal to accept a path to citizenship in any immigration overhaul. (Dallas Morning News)

Senator Cruz is talking to Hispanics like Americans not an ethnic group. I really like that. Identity politics makes me sick!

He delivers a message of opportunity and growth, or precisely the two things that the Hispanic community needs more of. On the other hand, Democrats speak to Hispanics like victims. They also oversell what government can and will do.

On education, Senator Cruz is calling for more choice and options. Democrats are just calling for more of the same, or "no reforms" and forcing teachers to contribute to the teachers' union.

On ObamaCare, the single biggest threat to our freedom and prosperity, Senator Cruz is saying that it is disaster for businesses or job creators.

He is also calling for the elimination of the IRS. This is even more important today that the IRS leadership has been exposed as highly partisan and arrogant.

You got that right, the fact that he wants to eliminate the i.r.s shows his good sense.

But the socialist American voters have already showed us that they will not vote for any one with good sense.

Sorry for being negative.

Indeed he is looking good. He had me on eliminating the IRS and repealing 16th amendment to the constitution.

Check your CAPS-Lock, please.

Here is yesterday’s thread regarding Cruz’s eligibility. My position is that some have ideological blinders on and will compromise the US Constitution to see “their right one” win.

The communists among us (Dhimmicrat Party) will use such against Cruz.

It isn’t so much as the caps lock as the Web page spontaneously posting in the middle of editing or more often simply evaporating four or five times just as the post is about ready. Very strange goings on lately.

I just spoke to Sen. Cruz’s office staff. They report there is no decision about running for POTUS as he concentrates on his Senate duties. The eligibility issue they say is not something he is commenting or debating at this point in time.

This is very unfortunate. He is not eligible. He ought to know it. He is not acting responsibly so long as he fails to acknowledge he is not a natural born Ucitizen as required by the Constitution, and thereby set a good example as a trustworthy leader. This failure taints all other efforts and the very causes he is pushing in Congress at present.

Then you are just as corrupt as the Democrats and cannot be trusted to support and defend the Constitution. No mater what kind of show of conservatism folks like you put on, you ultimately cannot be trusted once you or your representative gets into elected office. Consequently, it is up to the rest of us to see to it you don’t get into office, even if you try to seduce conservatives into being defrauded.

I’m not really laughing.

I’m jovial about this because I KNOW how it turns out.

It turns out right.

He’s right about the meaning of “natural born”. He’s right he is eligible under that meaning.

I don’t have to debate it.

Others have and will and it will end with Ted Cruz vindicated.

He knows that. He’s researched it and reasoned it up one side and down the other, way before now.

So when I write “wrong” to your severe angst over the issue, I’m not being mean.

We will all like how this ends. Because the rightness of his position will be vindicated.

The thought of that puts me in a jovial mood.

The best way to help Sen. Cruz is to demand that Boehner be removed ASAP as Speaker of the House.

“The American People” are against Obama’care’ and have always been.

Boehner has failed to lead for 4 + years, and must be removed if Obama’care’ is to be defeated.

The ‘limp-wrist’ leaders (Boehner and Cantor) in the US House are the main reasons for Obama’s continuing success of the train wreck, Commie take over of the US Federal Government.

Boehner and Cantor had their chance to lead, they failed, and it is time to replace them with leaders WHO WILL FIGHT!

Since The Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House of Represenatives, I suggest Col. Allen West to replace Boehner.

The circular firing squad is alive and well on FR, I find it more than slightly disturbing just how stupid the so called "purists" can be. And they sit here and call the GOPE stupid as they try to take out one of our finest potential conservative candidates.......

People like this don't make me laugh at all.

Sen. Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen. This is a fact whose evidence is far far beyond reasonable doubt. Any person of any political party who attempts to defraud the citizens of the United States with false claims of eligibility is committing a grave crime just as odious as those of Obama and the Democrats. The republican Party got away with the crime with Chester Arthur, but that does nothing to justify the crimes of Obama or any of the Republican candidates. Persistence in committing this crime will end badly for the REpublic and its citizens. Denying the ineligibility will not make the issue and the problem go away. It will follow everyone who defies this eligibility law will be associating themselves with some of the worst corruption in American history.

Please provide the relevant section of the US Constitution that proves your point?

If you are unable to do that, please provide the relevant US Law passed by Congress and signed by a US President that provides the necessary justification for your position.

Barring that, please provide the relevant US Supreme Court case ruling that provides the necessary justification for your position.
