The evidence is building that Carson is a prolific liar

Yes... claiming to be a violent thug who beat up people and hit them in the face with rocks... BUT THEN.. found Jesus in his bathroom and was saved.... OMG..... Problem is.. no one interviewed remembers carson as anything but a studious nerdie kid.. What's the deal with him?
 
Yeah, a matter of checks and balances, one lies the other lies and is barely holding onto sanity. I'm not the biggest Hillary fan, but, given a choice, well, there isn't a choice, there's just the Clintons since Bill will be doing a lot of advising and he did a pretty good job during his reign.
 
Carson appears then, as a "prolific liar", to be on a par level with the rest of the politicians, both already in office, and those seeking it. imp
 
In Carson's case I see a fair amount of self aggrandisement going on. His real life story ought to be enough for him to be seriously considered as a candidate. The fact that he feels the need to gild the lily is a warning sign to me. He is not confident of his own worth IMO and self doubt can be a liability in a leader when so much can be at stake.
 
Carson isn't anybody to seriously consider for the oval office any more than Trump is.

And does anybody really believe that Trump wants to be president? Does anybody really believe that he would give up control of ALL his billions and his holdings for four years? That is NOT going to happen.

They are both batshi*t crazy.
 
Well you know with Donald Trump eager to slam his fellow Republican candidates to death over their lies, the Democrats really don't have to get their hands too dirty....
 
The Republicans will allow Marco Rubio to climb in the polls with not much mention of Ted Cruz, then distance themselves to embrace Cruz. My best guess is that Cruz will be the Republican nominee. Maybe Rubio but more likely Cruz.
 
Ted Cruz once held dual American and Canadian citizenship. His biography say he was raised in Texas.
After a lot of digging I find that he was born in Canada to an American mother.

How is it that he is eligible to stand for President?
This article says that he is and points out that even if Obama had been born in Kenya instead of Hawaii, then he would still have been eligible.

Sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander?

I'm living proof of that. ;) However, the Social Security administration did have me listed as "Alien/Other" for 40 some years, had to get that straightened out, before being cleared for hire by the state.

The link is most interesting! Especially noted how many candidates were born of U.S. citizen parents who happened to be abroad during birth.

The truly contradictory part of the Obama story is this: Obama's father was a Kenyan Citizen. Kenyan law clearly establishes that any child born of a Kenyan father, is automatically a Kenyan Citizen. That would presumably hold true whether the birth actually took place in Kenya, Hawaii, or China. imp

Your statement fails to address the question of American Citizen mother, Foreign Citizen father. Under Kenyan law, the mother's citizenship is, apparently, not a part of the citizenship equation. imp
 
In any case, Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father. He's an American citizen.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father. He's an American citizen.
 
Cruz's father was born in Cuba, his mother in the US and Cruz himself was born in Canada. He had dual citizenship before entering in politics. These are the facts from his birth certificate.

Now, if Obama was born in a third country, say Indonesia, to an American mother and a Kenyan father, could he still be considered to be an American? It seems like a fair parallel with Cruz.

Ooops Georgia has already answered and it is what I would have expected to be the case.

Obama held both American and Kenyan citizenship by birthright laws, but no longer held kenyan citizenship rights upon his 23 birthdate. Obama firstly was born in the states, Honolulu in fact, not Kenya. Either way, he only needs worry about laws here in the US affecting his birth since he was born here and hasn't sworn his allegiance elsewhere.
