I swear to god, Canada. Seriously? Again? Take them back. All of them. Canadians are great people. Famous Canadians, however, are tools and douchebags, and you keep giving them to us. It's not cool. We can't be friends anymore if all you do is throw bags of shit at our doorstep.

He's now able to run for president. This is basically his announcement that he plans to do so in 2016. There is no other reason for him to do this.

There are a *few* exceptions. Perhaps I should add to my above comment: famous Canadians that come to live in America. Originally Posted by Felya420

Does Ted Cruz (or anyone with an "R" next to their name) really think he has a chance at the presidency?

Ted Cruz lives in a bleach white bubble and probably has no idea what reality actually looks like. Originally Posted by s_bushido

In the grand scheme of things this matters very little. So little, in fact, that it hasn't been mentioned on the news (via the TV) in over a month.

All quite irrelevant. Cruz is kidding himself if he thinks he stands a chance at the presidency. Hopefully his decision to run will make him unpopular enough in Texas to lose his Senate seat as well.

And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes

By the standards of the Republican right, he still isn't a natural born citizen and is therefore not qualified for the presidency.
I don't agree with it myself, but the rules are the rules! If they are applied to one candidate, they definitely need to be applied to ALL candidates.

I would still use it against him. He is just a dumbass. Look at all the people calling Obama muslim, same thing with Ted Cruz, expect he is actually fucking Canadian(or was). Originally Posted by Twotonsteak

No, seriously, this hasn't been on the news in over a month. Even then it wasn't widely reported. So the concept that this is designed to appeal to anyone is stupid since most people, unless they went looking for this story, didn't know about it. Originally Posted by KrazyK923

He is doing this for his upcoming presidential bid. Its just funny with all the crap they gave the current president about his place of birth and citizenship status, that this champion of the tea party conservatives has an even sketchier birth issue.

Because it was older news that didn't splash means that it isn't an obvious political ploy? Makes perfect sense. Originally Posted by Twotonsteak

That's your argument?
Just so I understand this...Obama puts off anything for more than a month, and it becomes "old news." And EVERYTHING Obama does gets far more press than this. Cruz does this over a month ago, to little press coverage, and your jumping all over him for "an obvious political ploy?"
Here's an idea...why don't you turn that tin-foil hat concept on Hillary Clinton...who has been doing far more to keep herself in the spotlight and make herself a more presentable candidate?
I mean, really, try to at least look like your not just another rabid attack-dog mindlessly charging after anything that isn't approved of by Democrats.
