Okay, I’ve read the entire thread and I’ve got it figured out. There is a small group of posters—the usual group—that is telling the rest of us—the conservatives—for maybe the millionth time what our problem is. Namely, we don’t trust government enough. In particular, we don’t trust Democrat-dominated state & federal governments enough, though we are also too suspicious of state governments with a smattering of RINI/GOPe officials.
The message is, the above types of governments are honest. They are trustworthy. They do not lie. They are transparent. They always do what is best for the citizens, including conservatives. They never favor Democrats, liberals or the Establishment. They always favor integrity and The People. The government is good, honest, aboveboard and reliable. This is the message the little group of pernicious posters has been trying to drive home for years. If only the hicks and the rubes would listen, all would be well.
After all, no government, state or fed, and particularly no government dominated by Dems and a few RINOs and GOPe-ers, has ever given us any cause to doubt it. Over and over we’ve seen what paragons of virtue Dem politicians are, closely followed by the righteousness of RINOs and GOPe-ers. How many times do these governments have to prove that they NEVER lie, cover-up, play favorites, obfuscate or do any other less than totally integrous thing before the wingnuts will stop acting stupidly. Only really stupid people believe Obama has lied about anything of significance. Only crazy people believe his cohorts in Dem-dominated state governments would support his lies.
The bottom line is this. We have a small but vocal group that believes in Dem-dominated governments, state & fed. They believe when such governments speak, it is the Gold Standard. No one can/should ask further questions. All questions have been resolved. The Dems, who never lie, have laid the matter to rest once and for all. If stupid, crazy conservatives would just learn that lesson, our sturdy little group of Dem government cheerleaders could finally take a much deserved rest.
I would like to recommend a solution for the partisan political concerns expressed by Fantasywriter: the appointment of a Select House of Representatives Committee on Presidential Eligibility similar to the Select Committee on the Benghazi Attacks. I would recommend former prosecutor, Congressman Trey Gowdy to Chair that Select Committee but he’s already chairing the Benghazi Committee. There are many other members of the House who have impeccable conservative credentials and prior experience as prosecutors who could both chair and serve on such a committee. Congressional committee chairs have subpoena power to compel testimony under oath. A congressional committee also has the ability to investigate any and all relevant aspects of determining if Obama is truly eligible for the office he holds: from identity theft, to document forgery to the cause of death of Loretta Fuddy.
Yes, there would be Democrats on a Select Committee, but they would be in the minority and without enough votes to determine the direction or outcome of the investigation.
In my humble opinion, this should have been done years ago, in 2011 when the Republicans first took control of the House of Representatives.
