the best candidate to be prez

Is he even sorry?
LargeCanine
Smart, articulate, educated, principled and accomplished?
ecclesiast
Do you describe Canada as a bigoted, racist, gun-toting, interventionist, anti-gay, respectless, capitalist country? Smart is universal.

John McCain was born in Panama.
shimmernshine
He's a Zonie.
ecclesiast
Correct. And far more an American in his attitude and ideals, as anyone would argue, than a Latin American.
KyloSolo
Yeah, that's not racist. At all.
ecclesiast
It's really not. I grew up in Tijuana, Mexico and know his values and priorities are much more American right wing than anything else.

On a military base to American born parents. Natural born citizen.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
he could have been born off the base and still been a natural born citizen
nowinsituation
Yes. Arguably, Cruz was born to a U.S. citizen mother, so according to citizenship statutes he was a U.S. citizen at birth too.
diehardlance
After 7 years of "OBAMAS FROM KENYA" bullshit I am enjoying Cruz getting this.
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
you know of course that it was hillary's campaign who first brought that up in '08
diehardlance
Doesn't matter who started it it's EVERYONE who says it regardless of party that pisses me off. Idiots they all are.
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
that's stilted
LETHARGICpancake
Shhh
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
she eats babies, too
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
droppin' the truth bombs!
LETHARGICpancake
That was stupid, doesn't make this not stupid. Both have a US citizen as a parent, end of story.
cptkipard
Actually it looks like Cruz's mom was a Canadian citizen when he was born. There are records of her voting in Canada. No dual citizenship.
LETHARGICpancake
She was born in Delaware, nothing else matters. Obama's mom was born in Kansas, nothing else matters.
cptkipard
Even so, if you renounce your citizenship you're no longer a citizen. She was not a citizen at the time of his birth.
LETHARGICpancake
You sure about that?
ecclesiast
I had a good friend in LA who told me she hated Obama because "well... I don't know, I just don't. Also his name is WAY too close to OSAMA."
diehardlance
I am not a fan of some of his policies but this bullshit that he "hates america" and shit is fucking stupid and makes me mad.
ecclesiast
Genuinely, no matter what their policies, there's no way I could believe that your presidents are doing anything but lving their country
diehardlance
Amen to that.
ecclesiast
Context: I am a Canadian watching events unfold nervously from the border.
VictorDenn
You are not alone in that. A bit embarrassing to have the same home town as this guy.
ecclesiast
Yeah, but you guys have a kick-ass mayor and that premier that is standing up to O'Leary!
VictorDenn
Haha, yes, but I now live in a much cooler place, Nelson BC.
ecclesiast
Damn, I live in Kelowna and have been DYING to go to Nelson! Highways are shit right now, but some time soon!
