I have followed politics for years. I got hooked on it when I delivered papers at the age of 14. I thought I understood politics pretty good, but NO ! There is becoming a distinct possibility of an election of Trump vs. Sanders. I would have bet my bottom dollar against that a year ago. Socialism vs. Egotism....who would have thought ? NOT ME  |

I'm still not totally sure who "they" are, but I am pretty sure "they" won't allow Trump and Grey Guevera to be the nominees...

Here is something that is bothering me, now correct me if I am wrong. But to be President of the United States, you must be American born, born in the USA. So why is Ted Cruz applying for the position, he is Canadian born. Is it a means to weaken our constitution more that what it is, our constitution is being bombarded all the time, so does that mean any butt head in the world can be Prez of the USA. JUST a flaw I happen to notice, silly but, tortoise and the hare kind of strategy, just when you weren't looking. Kind of like Prez Wilson pulled with the Fed Reserv. act.

"they" better hurry their asses up. The Donald is about to become Elephants nominee. And if Clinton doesn't pull her head out Bernie might get the Donkey's. |

From what I heard in the news, his parents were American, living in Canada at the time, thus he is considered American. |

Because it says no such thing. It says only that a person must be a "natural born citizen." (And then doesn't define what THAT means.) The general consensus is that a person must be a citizen by birth, not by choice. ONE way to achieve that status is to be born on US soil, but another is to be born to US citizen parents, irregardless of the geography of your birth. By the "Born on US Soil" theory that would mean a pair of illegal alien Muslim Terrorists from Islamistan could hop the border, pop out a baby, bring the baby back to Islamistan and teach it to hate America, but due to the geography of it's birth it could be president, but a pair of patriotic America loving soldiers stationed overseas who have a baby could not be the parents of a president. This is why it doesn't matter if Obama (pbuh) WAS born in Kenya, His citizenship flowed from His mother anyway (Although there is some question as to if His mother met the legal requirements at the time of His birth to confer maternal citizenship) This is all a ruse basically. Cruz meets the requirements... ...as did Mitt Romney (Who was born in Mexico) and John McCain (Who was born in Panama). Seriously. Look it up...  Correction - My mistake, Mitt Romney was born in Michigan, it was his father that was born in Mexico. |

"IRREGARDLESS" ???
C'mon, Serk, I know you know better...
Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead. Source - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardlessIt ain't a proper word, but y'all know I have no problem using non-proper words... |

The law states that 1 parent must be a United States citizen over the age of 21 when the child is born outside America with citizenship paperwork being filed within a certain time line. Please forgive me as I don't remember the timeframe right now.
The problem with Obama is that when he was born outside of America his mother who was the only American parent was not 21 at his time of birth. She was 19.

“A Medicare-for-all plan will save the average middle class family $5,000 a year,” a spokesman for Sanders’ campaign said.
Free healthcare, college, internet, smart phones, transportation, etc, will save the middle class thousands is absolutely correct. No argument there. These things are expensive. Unfortunately, the middle class will have to give it all back, plus more, as the middle class has the responsibility of paying for everything for themselves and for those who don't contribute. Obama promised $2,500 in savings for everyone, and look what happened with that lie. Premiums and deductibles skyrocketed for self payers (many real life examples of this in my small word). Nothing is free and anything gov't does always oppresses the middle class. $16.00 to cross a bridge in NYC roundtrip. Who does that hit hardest? the 5% of the rich, or the 60% of the middle class going to visit family or commuting to work??? |
