In looking this up, I came across this paragraph referring to MCCAIN!
But she said the matter should be sorted out before the election, rather than afterward: “Imagine what would happen if the courts were to overturn an election simply based on eligibility. It would be a disaster. After what happened in 2000, people would completely lose faith in the electoral process.”
LOL!
Well, if you’re talking about one reporter seeing it and writing on it, and then some Congressmen seeing it — then yes... that was done on a voluntary basis. But, McCain never released it to the public...
Heck! I would be fine with the same methodology for Obama, too — if he wanted to voluntarily do it. He could show it to one reporter, have him write an article on it, and then show it to some Congressmen — that would be fine...
Other than that methodology, the only other way anyone is going to get to see the birth certificate is for a state law to be passed which *legally requires* a candidate to show his birth certificate or else he cannot be on the ballot.
Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and Arizona have already started that process and I’m hoping people get on it in their own states — if — they want to see a candidate be *legally required* to show his birth certificate....
I don’t know what conclusion y’all have come to on this (I don’t have time to read through 6,500 posts), and maybe (with a 22” 2048x1536 screen) I have the advantage over some of you, but having zoomed in so that the document overspreads the width of its window, distortions show up (around the included text) that make this photograph very plainly suspicious. One should also wonder why, if the document has not been faked by the “photographer”, a flatbed scan was not provided instead of this photograph taken at such a sharp angle from the vertical. Flocking to such things only hurts the cause—and further ridicules the reputation of—the Birthers.
