The reason is simple, all the man does is run around and talk about the Constitution. The constitution? The man wants to return the US back into an antiquated Constitutional Republic, so he must be stopped.
He must be insane.
Originally posted by whodeyWhat, in concrete terms, do you expect that Cruz might do, if elected, in order to safeguard the constitution and fight the "lawlessness" of the federal government?
It's nice just to see that someone has a pulse and recognizes just how lawless the federal government has become.

So who the hell cares? Just empower government more by voting Bernie you dingleberry
Originally posted by KazetNagorraActually, I have very little hope that the system can be reformed from within. From what I've seen, we have consistently been lied to repeatedly, and the system is too far gone for one person to make much of a difference anyway.

Our greatest hope is the article V movement, have states rise up and challenge federal power that feeds their corruption.

So, my idiot friend, Mr. Cruz's version of the Constitution is perfectly consistent with both of those things.
EDIT: To give Cruz some credit, he did vote against indefinite detention of US citizens (so did Bernie Sanders BTW).http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/17248-ted-cruz-indefinite-detention-retained-in-ndaa-2014
But nowhere in the Constitution does it suggest that the protections explicitly spelled out in the Bill of Rights are limited to US citizens (the language is to the contrary). So Cruz's reading is a cramped one inconsistent with the Framer's intent.
Originally posted by whodeyI see. So you don't think Cruz will accomplish anything but you support him anyway because he says some things about the constitution?

I see. So you don't think Cruz will accomplish anything but you support him anyway because he says some things about the constitution?
Again, I don't think the system can be reformed except by an outward intervention.
