Who is accusing her though?

No one credible or worthy of paying attention to.

Till Donald Trump starts spewing this stuff, it really is irrelevant.

I'm sure we will get there eventually....

I hope that Juanitta isn't a member here ( the hot blondes have to come from somewhere ) or you might have to spend 3 days in perdition.... I'll hold your hand for 3 days ;-)

The issue is your parent has to register you in the consulate. Obama's clearly did not. Cruz's clearly did.

I feel like this post got lost in the shuffle a bit and it deserves more analysis.

I think I speak for everyone when I say..... "Huh?"

The information about consular registration was fully explored during McCain's campaign. It is all online.

I'll wait for a politician to specifically accuse Bill Clinton of rape before arguing with some random guy on a message board about it. Seems pointless. Bringing up this issue is risky for the righties. It gives Hillary a chance to play the victim card, which she thrives at.

We now see exactly where the war on women is. It is giving unnamed “politicians” more credence than publicly named and scorned women. The old nuts and sluts tactic.

"Former President Bill Clinton's defenders did the very same to accusers Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, et al, that Ronan believes Woody did to his mother and sister. These women -- most of whose claims were eventually admitted to by Bill Clinton -- were shamed and blamed. Was Hillary involved in these verbal attacks? To what degree was the famously hands-on wife of Bill involved -- or even worse -- leading the "nuts or sluts" strategy used to malign his accusers as either crazy or of questionable morals?
Media justify the attention on so-called "Bridgegate" because, after all, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is a likely GOP presidential candidate. Why does Hillary Clinton get a pass over the serious allegation that she bullied a woman who claims Bill raped her?
Juanita Broaddrick, an operator of nursing homes, accused former President Bill Clinton, then Arkansas' attorney general, of rape. Broaddrick, then a Clinton campaign volunteer, described what allegedly happened in a Little Rock hotel room. "Stupid me, I ordered coffee to the room," she said. "I thought we were going to talk about the campaign." Broaddrick told "Dateline NBC": "I first pushed him away. I just told him 'no.' ... He tries to kiss me again. He starts biting on my lip. ... And then he forced me down on the bed. I just was very frightened. I tried to get away from him. I told him 'no.' ... He wouldn't listen to me."
What does this have to do with Hillary?
Broaddrick claims that two weeks after the rape, at a political event, Hillary approached her. "She came over to me, took ahold of my hand and said, 'I've heard so much about you and I've been dying to meet you. ... I just want you to know how much that Bill and I appreciate what you do for him.' ...
"This woman, this little, soft-spoken -- pardon me for the phrase -- dowdy woman that would seem very unassertive, took ahold of my hand and squeezed it and said, 'Do you understand? Everything that you do.' I could have passed out at that moment and I got my hand from hers and I left. ... She was just holding onto my hand. Because I had started to turn away from her and she held onto my hand and she said, 'Do you understand? EVERYTHING that you do,' I mean, cold chills went up my spine. That's the first time I became afraid of that woman." -- real clear politics

Now John McCain is questioning if Cruz is a natural born citizen.http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/06/politics/ted-cruz-birthplace-john-mccain/index.html

It's more than a little paradoxical that McCain, whose own legitimacy as a citizen was severely challenged in 2008, would even discuss the question. By all accounts, Coco Solo was outside the Canal Zone.

Its not paradoxical at all
Most senators dislike him including many republicans such as McCain

McCain is one of the more outspoken ones in regards to how much he hates Cruz.

Just about all the Senators hate Cruz
McCain on the other hand is well liked by his fellow Senators
When there was talk McCain might not be eligible for the Presidency, In response, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution that Senator McCain was indeed a US citizen.
Nobody is proposing that resolution for Cruz. lol

I'm thinking that being disliked by a bunch of (other?) pompous asses is not all that horrible.
