Wonder if he'll push this through using executive order?

Oh wait, he won't have to!  Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will push it through for him.

We are no longer a sovereign state, but just a land mass with people, and things.  Why did our fathers and grand fathers die in Vietnam, Europe, Korea, and other locations around the globe?  Illegal immigrants are invading, and we aren't doing anything to protect the legal citizens of America. 

Thanks Obama.

 Not illegal immigrants, they are "potential democratic voters".

 Someone needs to tell Obama that a poll was done on the illegals and they are voting republican.  He'll close the borders tomorrow.

Haven't you noticed the new rules?


If the President proposes something, say "Immigration Reform" to Congress, and Congress either doesn't act (ala Gang of 8) or affirmatively votes it down (DREAM Act), then that empowers the President to just implement the proposal anyway (DACA) because "Congress failed to act"

 Yep, thanks to Boehner/McConnell and now Paul Ryan, who refuse to uphold their constitutional duties and let the President go rogue.

Damn, why don't we just resort to doing elections the way the old USSR, Cuba, China and North Korea do them?  :o

Rubio/X.  Cruz can't win as long as he keeps turning on his TV evangelist shtick.  I'm a Christian and find his act tiresome and loathsome.  I can't imagine anyone but the ever shrinking evangelical folks voting for him.  Now, if he quits with the shtick, it may be a different story altogether.

One could only imagine the theatrics a President Cruz would try to use in a real crisis.

You're right, the more you see of him, the less there is too like.

Becoming quite apparent that Rubio is now Fox's choice.

The DNC is praying its Rubio.

Well, except for the fact that he DID disclose, just on the wrong form.

Oh no!!! Please! Please! Make it stop!,,,

LOL!

Asked, and answered. He was born to an American mother.  The loans were disclosed in his legal Senate disclosures, just not separately with the FEC.

Quit playing naive.  You know that several people in the DNC was proposing lawsuits to answer the natural born citizen question, and that legal scholars admitted its never been taken to the high courts, which could potentially jeopardize his campaign.

As for the loans? Sorry, if you are running for president, no excuse for not disclosing.

You mean dirty games like the birther or loan lies that Trump used to hammer Cruz before the Iowa caucuses?

So Cruz wasn't born in Canada, and there has never, ever been any question on what a natural born citizen means?  And no one has talked about filing lawsuits about it?

 And Cruz never took out loans and never disclosed them?

 Really?

Rubio admits that the Gang of Eight was a mistake. No candidate survives a conservative purity test in this race.

Rubio's not my top choice, but he's a very, very strong second choice, for two main reasons:

1).  He's the most articulate and well spoken of our candidates, and does the best job espousing conservative ideals and projecting an optimistic outlook for the country. I therefore think he has the best chance of beating Hitlery.

2). He endorses an Article V Convention of the States to create a Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment and an Amendment for term limits of Congress and the Supremes.

He can endorse an Article V convention all he wants, problem is it's meaningless. The state's have to call and vote for the convention, which is not going to happen.  And term limits for Congress?   Nice try getting that through.

 Sorry, I'm a realist. The facts just don't back any of this up.

After the official looking 'Voting Violation' document, his outright refusal to apologize for it - and his campaigns move with respect to the CNN story about Carson then no, Trump isn't whining he is pointing out dirty tricks.

I don't like nor trust Cruz, he sets off all my warning bells and I can't put my finger on why even though he says many of the right things. 

He has definitely had position flops that are substantive and troubling for someone claiming to be a 'consistent' conservative - at this point unless the shenanigans in Iowa prove to be totally inaccurate (unlikely since he has already acknowledged and apologized to Carson for what actually happened, and refused to apologize  for the Voting Fraud thing) I simply can't vote for him.

'Gimp

Edited to clarify on Voter Document


Exactly.  Just imagine if Trump had played the dirty games Cruz had in Iowa, certain people would be foaming at the mouth right now.

Iowa has confirmed my feelings about Cruz.

Depends on what Chapter he filed under.

Yea, God forbid anyone to follow the laws as written.

You mean when Cruz sent a CNN story to his volunteers?  That campaign fraud?

I'll save you the trouble, I already know you'll discredit the source, but do a little reading, it's out there in several news outlets.

http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/ted-cruzs-iowa-mailers-are-more-fraudulent-than-everyone-thinks

After seeing the mailers, Iowa’s secretary of state, Paul Pate, issued a statement condemning Cruz’s tactic:

“Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a “voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses.
Additionally, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office never “grades” voters. Nor does the Secretary of State maintain records related to Iowa Caucus participation. Caucuses are organized and directed by the state political parties, not the Secretary of State, nor local elections officials. Also, the Iowa Secretary of State does not “distribute” voter records. They are available for purchase for political purposes only, under Iowa Code.”
