Birthers not outraged by Ted Cruz potentially running for president?

Never cared about this. Though I always thought Obama could have ended all that nonsense long ago by simply pulling out his birth certificate in 2008. Instead he allowed it to grow until it became an issue. IMO, Cruz has already nipped that conversation from liberals by showing his BC already.

 

Seems people forget when Obama did finally show his birth certificate the "birthers movement" claimed it to be fake continuing to claim Obama not to be a natural born United states citizen. It is denigrating in itself to me to even be accused as not being a citizen. Just imagine if someone came up to you demanding them to see your birth certificate. would you really go to the trouble to produce it for them? If you ask me I wouldn't because I know I am a citizen.

 

Ted Cruz was born in Canada and still has to go through a procedure to denounce his citizenship to Canada which this procedure takes about 18 months and then is finally determined by the Canadian courts if he does indeed run for president. It's just very odd there is no outrage about Ted Cruz potentially running for president even if he did produce a copy of his birth certificate. After all even when Obama produced a copy the birthers still kept claiming it to be a fake. If Ted Cruz was a black man I believe there would be exponential scrutiny.

If I was running for President, yes. It is the quickest way to defuse such questions. The fact is, Obama allowed it to linger for years! He allowed it to become a bigger issue than what it was. The reason why so many clamed it was 'fake', was due almost entirely to the amount of time Obama took to produce the BC. Again, I didn't care, don't lump me in with the 'birthers'. I merely said Obama shares the blame for it being an issue.

 

BTW, Cruz has already produced his birth certificate. As for outrage, he hasn't even announced if he will run. He might run, and then it will become an issue. Until then its a hypothetical scenario.

 

(Not getting into the race thing, far as I'm concerned, toss it out the window. It only serves to divide us, not unite us. United we stand, divided we fall.)
