44. How can they think of running Cruz after all that Birther stink

Thu Oct 17, 2013, 02:11 PM

Oct 2013

The Birthers have spent almost 6 years trying to convince us that Obama was born in Kenya and there for not qualified to be president even if his mother was an American-born Citizen. Even after Obama has showed us all the evidence to prove his birth was in Hawaii the birthers still think Obama was born in Kenya.

Now we have Cruz who has even shown his birth certificate that he was born in Canada. Just like Obama his mother was an American Citizen and also like Obama, Cruz's father was citizen of another country.

Personally to me the mother with the American birth certificate is enough for me to make both of them constitutionally qualified to run for President. But I'm sorry, I'm not giving Cruz a free pass on his birth certificate after the bullshit of what was done to Obama. If the Birthers say a person born in a foreign country even with one parent an American Citizen is NOT qualitifed to be president then Cruz is not qualified.

They can't change their message simply because one of their own crazies wants to be president!
