Yes he was born in Canada. The post was about his father. What is your point?

Your post was more than about senior Cruz. It was also about tour perceived double standard with regards to Senator Cruz vs Barry. Go back and read YOUR OP you might have forgot what you wrote. There are obvious reasons why there isn't much of a commotion about senior Cruz's brief excursion with Castro. For one did I mentionhe was 14 years old. He has denounced Castro ever since.
Senator Cruz also has demonstrated he is the opposite of Castro in everyway. So why would it have any relevance that senior Cruz when he was 14 was fighting with Castro when a few years later he fled Cuba, denounced. Castro and his son is the polar opposite of Castro. I mentioned he was born in Canada( notice witness already jumped on the birther angle) so when the Cuba argument falls flat you can join the birther movement.

The party that is against baby murdering clinics even with the usual liberal spin and rewording to call them what they aren't and make them sound like what they are not?

At least we don't have to worry about Cruz running for president. No need for ANOTHER putz in that office. We have had enough of those in office of late.

His father's past isn't in any way relevant to R.T. Cruz's career. That is the point. Accordingly, neither is Barack Obama Sr.'s history in any way relevant to The Potus's history or career. BUT, those who seem to only be able to think in left or right terms, looking for some sort of dirt on a candidate at every turn, love to find any little issue they can to discredit him or her.

BUT, how a person was raised, or not raised, DOES make a difference in attitudes, ideas and how they relate to policy etc. That is not a "right" or "left" issue, it is a human issue and, regardless of what many may say, is extremely important.

It is only relevant in that senator Cruz was raised by his father who had first hand knowledge of the pitfalls of socialism under Castro and conveyed to his son what a disaster he has been. Mentors such as adult teachers or peers who one surrounds himself with play a major role in shaping a young skull full of mush of a young Barry into the Marxist/ Socialist he is today. One doesn't become a radical socialist nutjob all by himself.it started at an early age with Barry his socialist father , the tutelage of frank davis. Couple that with being able to get into a good leftist college where he could get more radical tutelage all based on lying he was borned in Kenya.

Made sure he was pumped full of drugs too. What better way to take control of a kid who was, more or less, abandoned by his parents?

What else would you expect [other than hypocrisy] from the party that has introduced legislation to make legal abortion nearly impossible to get, and trying to dissuade the women who manage it by requiring transvaginal ultrasounds [the most invasive kind possible], but is now running scary ads regarding the government getting between people & their medical decisions?
The party that declares itself against government regulation, then introduces hundreds of new regulations designed to put family planning clinics out of business?
The party that frowns on welfare, unless it's corporate?
The party that slams the opposition for 'pandering' to minorities, then shows up at Hispanic Heritage events to promise them governmental love?
Hypocrites R Us is the Republican modus operandi.

Hypocrosy has company in the Democratic party as well. The supposed anti war party is actually the drone American citizens and the let's bomb Syria party. The supposed pro individual freedom party is the looking at your phone records party and the lets selectively audit the conservative groups party. The goverment leave my body alone party has endorsed and become the goverment will choose your health care that YOUR BODY will have party.

"The supposed pro individual freedom party"


Pro individual freedom? It is the Demoncrats who are trashing the Bill of Rights. They don't believe in freedom in ANY way shape or form.

Go where? You were lamenting why more people don't make an issue of Ted Cruz's father childhood excursion with Castro that he has continuesly denounced. It just doesn't fit izall. Ted Cruz mentions his father's dislike of Castro ALL THE TIME. If they thought Castro was such a swell socialist dictator and liked all the "wonderful" things he has done, I'm sure Ted Cruz would wholeheartedly endorse the 'great' things that Barry is doing such as ObamaCareless. Do you see him doing that? Like I said your argument falls flat.
