Ehh fun emotional ad but no real substance much like the candidate
The ultimate minority is the individual. Protect the individual from Democracy and you will protect all groups of individualsRightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas JeffersonI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I thought the Constitution had a Natural Born Citizen clause and Cruz was born in Canada?
Don't tell me they gutted that part of the Constitution too!
"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor. "

I will not settle for Pepsi when Coke is on the menu. Ted not only won't win the nom, but could possibly keep Rand from doing so. Quite frankly, hes an $#@!
Yup - Cruz can run he just can not be President or VP -
he could never be given the oath of office constitutionally.
Green eggs and ham man . . . Cruz will provide comic relief like Parah Sailin did in '08 - imho.
In 2008, they gut it.
It was made possible by our Oligarchy. The Founding Fathers warned us to preserve a government of laws, and not of men. Arrogant, lawless and lusting for power, government officials have abrogated their responsibility to the Constitution, the country and its citizens. It was a backroom deal among Congressional Democrats and Republicans, which created our current Constitutional crisis.
Congress and our political leadership always knew that Barack Obama was not a natural born citizen and, therefore, he was never eligible for the Presidency. Over the last twenty to thirty years, members of Congress, for both personal and partisan reasons, have unsuccessfully attempted to water down the natural born citizen clause by offering potential Amendments to the Constitution.
Political coup d’etat of the Constitution
In the Spring of 2008, however, politicians found an opportunity to create a precedent, whereby they could change the eligibility requirements for the Presidency without an Amendment. At that time, John McCain’s eligibility according to the natural born clause was being questioned. So, a deal was struck and the bogus and non-binding Senate resolution 511 was passed, which provided cover for both McCain and Obama. It was a political coup d’etat of the Constitution.http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/37929

If Senator Cruz is a "conservative" who supports our founders’ brilliance and wisdom, then why does he support the socialist direct tax on profits, gains, salaries and other "incomes" which is a primary source of power used by our Washington Establishment to enslave the American People?
JWK
If, by calling a tax indirect when it is essentially direct, the rule of protection could be frittered away, one of the great landmarks defining the boundary between the nation and the states of which it is composed, would have disappeared, and with it one of the bulwarks of private rights and private property. POLLOCK v. FARMERS' LOAN & TRUST CO., 157 U.S. 429 (1895)
If you want to see how serious a candidate Cruz is, just go to http://tedcruz.com
Can someone summarize why Cruz is so bad? I thought his record was pretty good in the Senate; I mean, not as good as Ron or Rand, but surely one of the better Senators we have.

http://www.theamericanconservative.c...tial-campaign/Ted Cruz’s Latest Stunt: A Presidential Campaign
Cruz is a skillful demagogue, and he’ll be able to put on quite a show during candidate debates, but that will probably take the form of accusing the other candidates of being sell-outs and attributing views to them that they don’t hold. That is normally how he responds to criticism from within his own party.
[...]
Relative moderates come away with Republican nominations in one cycle after another partly because conservative voters are always split five or six ways and usually don’t get behind a single candidate soon enough. Republicans have the same problem again, but it is even worse than usual because the field promises to be much larger than it has been in previous cycles. Cruz’s new grandstanding as a presidential candidate will mostly work to weaken other conservatives that have a much better chance at the nomination than he does, and his campaign makes it more likely that a relative moderate will come away with the win.
Cruz is basically the personification of the collective id of the Republican base at this point: self-regarding, self-promoting, self-defeating. Uninterested in careful planning and tedious, realistic policy implementation, but drawn to the instant gratification of a grand, doomed gesture. Prone to lashing out and blaming everyone but himself when the grand gesture inevitably fails.
He and the embittered rump of voters who highjacked and still use the "Tea Party" label really deserve one another. It's just a shame that everyone else in the party (except the establishment, of course!) has to suffer for it.

The blog post from the American Conservative I excepted above does a fair job of briefly summarizing what's infuriating about Ted Cruz. Probably the key quote to answer your question is this: "Since the purpose of the campaign is just to raise Cruz’s profile at the expense of his ostensible political goals, it will be like every other Cruz effort of the last two years. "

I assume that's meant to be the flame of liberty, but it seems appropriate that it looks more like a teardrop.

Let's not kid ourselves. The Ron Paul movement created an idol to worship (metaphorically). Ron Paul didn't self promote, in fact probably the opposite. There is a reason this place is called Ron Paul Forums and not Liberty Movement Forums.
But since Rand has gotten into politics he has heavily promoted himself. And I don't blame him for it either, I am glad he has done so.

Cruz's mother was born in Delaware, thus, a US citizen. That makes him a natural born citizen.
I was born overseas to two US citizens for the same reason John McCain was born in Panama. I was born after the law was clarified.

Keep hope alive Ted, but don't hold your breath.
Yes, that makes him a US citizen, just not a native or natural born citizen -
and just like McCain, no Senate resolution can make him native-born either.
If he was born in international waters or in international airspace on a vessel or aircraft to his same Delaware mother,
he would be no less a citizen of the USA, but still not eligible to take the oath of office as President (or VP for that matter).
pro war, pro police state, pro drug war and favors expanding the powers of the federal government where it benefits his ideology.
Any candidate that is pro-war is not serious about cutting spending, they just want to cut some welfare and send it all to the military.
Plus he is to divisive, no chance against Hillary.
