LOL Pretty sure Rand Paul's event was sold out weeks in advance.

Less than one year into his U.S. Senate tenure, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/21/ted-cruz-president_n_3631413.html) has done his share of appearances on a national platform.


Among the items on the docket is an Oct. 25 speech at the Iowa Republican Party's Reagan Dinner (http://2013iowareagandinner.eventbrite.com/). With less than six weeks between now and the event, the Iowa Republican (http://theiowarepublican.com/2013/sen-ted-cruz-goes-on-sale-in-iowa/) caught an ad showcasing 25 percent savings for folks interested in seeing Cruz.


Standing as a conservative news source for the Hawkeye State, the Iowa Republican's piece questioned whether the discount was a case of "lessened" demand for Cruz. More than three years away from the 2016 presidential election, the Tea Party favorite has made multiple trips to the state (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/ted-cruz-protesters_n_3624478.html) this summer, including an encounter with protesters at GOP headquarters in Des Moines.


The RUN reports that the Iowa Republican Party (http://therun2016.com/iowa-gop-drops-cruz-ticket-price/) said otherwise regarding Cruz fatigue, contending that the ticket discount is part of a marketing strategy to explore different demographics and save donors money.


”You would think a ‘Republican’ blog would cheer when the state GOP is putting systems in place that saves its donors money by allowing more funds to go towards programs and electing Republicans, as opposed to overhead and expenses," Iowa GOP Executive Director Steve Bierfeldt told The RUN.


The Cruz ticket discount comes days after billionaire GOP donor Sheldon Adelson (http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/billionaire-sheldon-adelson-assesses-the-2016-field-20130912) admitted Cruz was not the first name to come to mind as a 2016 Republican presidential contender. In an interview with National Journal published Thursday, Adelson listed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) as possibilities, but not Cruz.


"I didn't even know Ted Cruz was potentially a candidate until somebody pointed it out to me the other day," Adelson said.

Ok, I still don't trust Cruz, but that last bit was kinda encouraging.

Neither do the neo-conservatives.

R T Cruz is falling by way of Rubio ever since his war mongering foreign policy calls at CUFI warmogers hangout, Syria invasion call.
His senate re-election chances are quickly diminishing the way he is heading towards panderville.

I think he is sort of waiting on the sidelines to see which camp prevails. :rolleyes:

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States:
“ No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

From wiki --- "Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta"

Why is there all this talk of of Cruz running for President? If Republicans have to read between the lines to interpret NATURAL BORN they should all be shot, beheaded, and left to rot on lamp posts. IMO.

I think the overwhelming consensus is that natural born means born a United States citizen, which Ted Cruz was.

Concensus conschmensus! What did our founders mean by it? Show me one piece of evidence that would clearly suggest that natural born means being born in another country and having only one parent a US citizen. That is contrary to the very reason for even having the stipulation --- otherwise why have one at all? There is NO way in hell they would have meant that. Any honest person that knows anything about the founders would agree with me. Everyone else is just playing politics for their own selfish reasons. In other words---> Believing their own bullshit.

And please, no Quotes from Hamilton or any of the nine nazguls on the supreme court. :)

Edit:

Ps- I still stand by my words...Shot, beheaded, and left to rot!

Trucking what if both parents are American but lets say they had their child in another country because thy felt they would get better healthcare? Would you feel their child was any less American?

Neither do the neo-conservatives.

Cruz exhibits an almost perfect national-interest Jacksonian foreign policy. This is in contrast with Rand's cautious Jeffersonian foreign policy, but they do complement each other in some ways.

It is in stronger contrast with the neoconservative Wilsonian foreign policy, and the liberal-internationalist Hamiltonian foreign policy.

"Less American" --- No, but still not eligible. Why? Because when we go off into that realm all bets are off on meanings of words and a million different circumstances could be created. Hell they even tried to redefine the words Natural born with the naturalization act of 1790(even so they still used the word citizens(plural) in "children of citizens"). If they wanted to clarify "natural born" the only way would have been to make a constitutional amendment. Otherwise we could just redefine the "right to bear arms" as the "right to bear pillows".
