As if the world didn't know...
 
....Ted Cruz was an asshole.

Cruz filled out a form and renounced any claim to Canadian citizenship,
and released a written public statement.

"Given the raft of stories today about my birth certificate, it
must be a slow news day. The facts of my birth are straightforward: I
was born in 1970 in Calgary, Canada. Because my mother was a U.S.
citizen, born in Delaware, I was a U.S. citizen by birth. When I was a
kid, my Mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if
I wanted. I got my U.S. passport in high school.

"Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when
I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and
because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian
citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter.

"Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual
citizenship. Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any
Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I'm an American by
birth and as a U.S. Senator, I believe I should be only an American."

Ted Cruz, the Harvard Law School grad and Supreme Court attorney, didn't
realize he had dual citizenship until two days ago? Because his Mom told
him not to worry about it?

It is really disappointing that the quality of the candidates for

We just end up with the spokes person the special interests are
willing to spend over a billion dollars on. They are saying Hillary
may end up with $2 billion on her own.
That is not democracy, it is an auction with the reserve price
starting at a billion.


So...fix it.


Where do you want me to start?

Restore the equal time rule would be a start


That would be a step in the correct direction.

Nobody wants to listen to the liberals, they just continue to vote for them out of some
misguided belief that they are proving they aren't heartless.
