Don't worry, he won't get the GOP nomination.
But he will require the primary to move so far right and torpedo the nominee, just like Romney. The GOP is better off if he doesn't run at all.

The dems will be more than happy to declare Cruz a citizen. I cannot think of another candidate the dems would rather have as the republican candidate. His biggest barrier to the nomination will be Rove & co--not dems or birthers. Other candidates would have a field day showing clips of Cruz wasting taxpayer money reading Dr. Seuss and imitating Star Wars characters all night in the Capitol building prior to shutting down the government and wasting even more taxpayer money. It's three years to the election and he's already campaigning. Gotta wonder when he has time to do any actual work. Being a demagog is a full-time job.

as stated before, when it comes to cruz's eligibility the complaints are overwhelmingly coming from the right side of the political spectrum.

The proof is in the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize.

There were some "outside" players.

Thx for pointing out the obvious. Why would any dems, in their right mind, be birthers.

Arizona sheriff promises Obama-eligibility probe
But like I said. This isn't a Tea Party policy. The Tea Party is for smaller government especially at the Federal level. Because someone wrote Tea Party leaders from ONE state in an article? Why would that lead one to believe that is a policy of the Tea Party?

Could you point out the policies that makes these people for a smaller federal government? Trump Huckabee nope maybe they support the Tea Party? but they aren't for smaller federal government imo
Jindahl didn't he get some support from the Tea Party but he doesn't have much impact at the Federal level.

Bachmann is from time to time but she wasn't a birther was she?
Bachmann Says Obama’s Certificate ‘Settles’ Birther Issue - ABC News

Good Morning America interview 4/20/2011
Stephanopoulos: Well, but so does the president. According to the bill ‘a candidate for president or vice president shall attach to and file with the affidavit a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate certified by the appropriate official in the candidate’s state of birth.’
Bachmann: That’s right.
Stephanopoulos: Well I have the president’s certificate right here. It’s certified, it’s got a certification number. It’s got the registrar of the state signed. It’s got a seal on it. And it says ‘this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.’
Bachmann: Well, then that should settle it.


Cruz and Paul are big time Tea Party. You mentioned neither btw. Any rhetoric from them?
