Mr. Nobody
"Nobody cared"? Hey, I cared. I know a lot of loyal Americans who cared. But apparently loyal American conservatives are "nobodies" unless we're beltway vermin, Faux News reporters, judges, or "Republican" politicos. Nice. [More]Because of the outcry calling him on hypocrisy, Farah continues to offer self-serving excuses.
"If I were convinced" sounds like it's coming from the same place the Clintonian "I do not recall" comes from. Who can definitively challenge it?
And who believes it?
Yo, Joe, did you even reach out to Cruz and press his people on why the only documents made public to date don't support eligibility, and the rest are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz has them released? Did you ask his campaign handlers why he just ignores and dismisses this, rather than putting reasonable fears to bed, and share their response?
Yes, this definitely goes back to Obama and the massive cover-up of his background, including his college and foreign travel records -- right down to the laughing things off. It even suggests Cruz himself may have been ineligible to become a senator at the time he assumed office. But what it suggests more than anything is an illegitimate government with clubs held over heads to keep those in the "opposition party" from pressing too hard.
That and a complicit media.
Here's a hypothetical: If you were on the jury for these nutjobs, evidence and testimony make it pretty clear they're guilty of threatening another person. But could you say --beyond a reasonable doubt -- they're guilty of violating the statue against threatening the "president," as defined by the Constitution?
Back to the main point: I see a lot of equivocation from Farah as he strives to argue principles. Unless he can say he's certain, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Cruz is eligible, and lay out a compelling case beyond "Billy's mom let's him do it" and "I'm tired," they're all just words.
