Call it what you want, but Cruz was born in a foreign country and one of his parents was an alien. Surely there has to be a real full-blooded American on the right who can win this thing. How about Rand Paul?

You understand incorrectly. The elder Cruz was imprisoned by Bautista in 1957, at which time he fled the country for the US. He was given a student visa, which became a green card and was ultimately given political asylum in the US. Castro came to power AFTER the 18 year old RB Cruz fled the country.

Once again, in violation of his oath of office. Impeach this damn traitor and fool!

Well, since BHO NEVER uses his middle name (for some reason) (unless pandering to certain groups when speechifyin') I guess I never see it enough to spell it correctly. But you are right. Some folks certainly have no shame!

Obama had to actually appeal to Republicans as well in Illinois, it is a pretty red state outside of Chicago.

So I take it you don't have an issue with Obama being a one term Senator that didn't really write any bills?

Plenty of places out there to get insurance. Just google "health insurance" and whatever state you want and you'll find sites out there for all the big health insurance companies to sign up on.

For example, here's Humana's for Arizona:

https://www.humana.com/individual-an...ns-in-arizona/

Here's Blur Cross/Blue Shield for Arizona:

https://www.azblue.com/#panel-MedicalPlans

Here's Cigna of Arizona:

2014 Health Insurance Coverage Options in Arizona

You can find such sites for EVERY state in the country.

Ken
umm, Ken, all those sites are offering ACA-compliant policies under ACA rules. The former individual marketplace, featuring a wide range of policies with lower prices, generally lower deductibles, and lower coinsurance, IS GONE as I said.

If you repeal the ACA or "defund" it, the economics behind every policy on every website you listed is blown--totally. Ask somebody who knows something about insurance. (Hint: Not Ted Cruz.)
