I talked to someone tonight who is a moderate conservative, and we got onto this subject. Like many, he said that he is SICK of the whole issue and we should focus on policy, etc. He said, “Do you realize that probably half of America would solve this problem by doing away with the Natural Born Citizen clause anyway? They would think it was GREAT to have a child of illegal aliens grow up to be President!” That really made me sick.

Horror??? Hmmm. Sounds like this issue is becoming someone’s worst nightmare. Good.

Would anyone look at this differently if we find out Trump got this birther idea from Hillary Clinton herself?

“Asked about Hillary Clinton, Trump praised the former first lady, saying he thought she was ready to be commander-in-chief. She’s ‘very talented, very smart. SHE’S A FRIEND OF MINE, SO I’M A LITTLE BIT PREJUDICED’ he said ‘She’s a very, very capable person and I think she’ll probably be the nominee. We’ll see, but I think she’ll probably be the nominee.’” (Trump in 2008)

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=40664

As one of the original birthers on this website, I’m aware that the question over why Hillary didn’t come up with the goods on Obama before spring of 2008 has always been one of the biggest mysteries of the Obama eligibility question.

I don’t know if it’s true—at this point it’s only my speculation. But if Hillary is behind Trump’s birtherism, everything would start to make a lot more sense.

I’d rather cut off PBS’s federal funding!

Trump wants Hillary to be Commander in Chief.

Does that give you some perspective?

Rush Limbaugh - Oct 2008

“I’ve been laying low on this because it hasn’t met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program.
This birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Philip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate and he still hasn’t replied. You’ve got a deathly ill grandmother, you are going to rush to her side a few days from now, when you first announced this, you’re going to rush, you’re going to hurry, you’re going to make tracks, you’re going to get over there because you don’t want your grandmother to die before you got there like your mother did, but somehow you keep campaigning, you take three days to get over there, if he’s left yet, and this birth certificate business, I’m just wondering if something’s up. I have no clue, and folks, I’m telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it’s popping up all over the place. There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this.”

Michael Savage

Jan 2011 - Report

“New analysis of Democrat Party’s official 2008 Certification of Nominations for Obama reveals that reasons for his sudden trip to Hawaii in October, 2008 were to visit more than just his sick grandmother. Hawaiian election laws, media accounts and post-dated documents reveal he may have attended a private hearing with the Hawaiian Chief Elections Officer regarding his disqualification from the Hawaiian ballot due to lack of certified Constitutional eligibility.”

Rush was right again!

Did you notice that your side also posted the "Trump Loves Obama" article?

Your arguments are inconsistent.

You mean when Trump was fawning over Obama in 2008, when we, the true birthers, were screaming at him to wake up?

I see Trump linking to Hillary.

The only thing I see Palin and West linking to is the U.S. Constitution.

Nope.

I mean:

Earlier today it was a Trump supports Obama. This afternoon it was George Soros is paying Trump to run so Obama can win and now it's Trump is working for Hillary to beat Obama in 2012.

And you call the "Birthers", Alan Keyes, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Allen West, the Tea Party and many constitutional conservatives to be the conspiracy theorists?

Barry Soetoro has an immigration file that Homeland Security has refused to make public. They’ve blocked its release even though the request was per a subpeona for a trial (Lt.Col. Lakin).

U.S. citizens, native born, do not have immigration files, period.

I suspect that Hillary’s negatives were so high in 2006 that the Democrats, particularly Soros, knew she wasn’t electable. They knew that the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House could be theirs with the right candidate. So they fronted up the empty Armani suit, aka Obama, starting in that year and began to erase his past.
