Funny how the dem birther movement will get press and be validated .....
the PUMA's involvement in birtherism began in the beginning of summer 2008, after birtherism's inception and after the first birther articles in WND.

phil berg, a democrat, was treated as "fringe" back in 2008 when he became the first birther to sue obama ( and before that when he tried to sue bush for 9/11 ).

According to the left-leaning Politifact:
Is Ted Cruz, born in Canada, eligible to run for president? | PolitiFact


Will that stop the left from going full-birther in 2016? I doubt it. If Cruz does run, which I hope he does, it's going to make the birtherism of WND, Trump, etc look like a play toy. We're going to get birtherism from NBC, ABC, CBS, and the NYT. We're going to get birtherism espoused by the Katie Courics, the Charlie Gibsons, and the elite of the elites.
Doesn't matter where he was born. What is troubling is that he was raised by one of Castro's communists.

Don't bring a rational opinion into this.

an article from today on the topic from a democrat author:

Is Senator Ted Cruz A Natural Born Citizen? - Let's Talk Nevada

the author never states that cruz is ineligible but concludes that "Senator Cruz should decline to run for President.He was not born in the United States and he was not born of American parents with one of them serving in the military."

Conservatives should play the race card, after all it's what they do with us. Disagree with Obama? It's because you're a racist! Disagree with Ted Cruz? It's because you're a racist!

Fortunately Conservatives don't care about race and we are better than our Liberal colleagues as we don't need to stoop to such juvenile levels.

do you consider a belief in birtherism to be juvenile?

No, Dems are smarter than that. Besides, Cruz is not going to get the Party nomination the GOP will see to that.

WND is back promoting the "2 US parent" brand of birtherism. the article, by aaron klein, regurgitates the long debunked de vattel and minor v happersett birther claims:

Impeach Obama? Presidency likely illegal

cruz would not be eligible under klein's claims and yet....... he makes no mention of cruz in the article.

the "tea party news network" (TPNN) is reporting on alan grayson's comment from last february ( so much for "news" ):

Liberal Birthers Beginning their Attacks on Ted Cruz

what i find interesting is that 9 out of 11 comments are pro-birther ( either cruz or obama ) indicating that it's more likely that the tea party will go "full birther" on cruz than democrats.
