I.m sorry to say it, but you come off and remind me of Chuck Gibson with his nose glasses try to put down Sarah Palin!!!
Of course, I do. Because I take responsibility for not knowing about the laws in my state. You wrote letters AFTER THE FACT. Did you make sure the law in your state only allowed eligible candidates on the ballot? Did you try to write laws requiring anyone to vet the candidate? I hold all of us responsible. Sure, we acted AFTER THE FACT to try to prevent BO’s election based on questions as to his Constitutional eligibility. But the time to stop him was years ago, when we could have enacted laws that would have prevented this. But we did not know that no laws require such vetting. (Presumably, if we did, we would have written such laws.) And I hold everyone else as responsible for his election, as I do myself.
You have not been here long enough to follow what we discussed on this matter. Bill and Hill were the first official “birthers” with the PUMA.com gals pushing the issue being mad as hell, but we were saying that long before. Philip Berg’s lawsuit was followed and discussed in details with the help of americasright.com. I debated many people in Miami Herald’s blog on the eligibility, even some stupid Kenyan in Norway was into the mix. We were not asleep here F.R.!!!
Of course you were not asleep; that is, as of the 2008 Presidential election cycle. But I cannot imagine if even a small percentage of the people here and on other blogs protesting BO’s election had anticipated the gaps in our current laws, say, even 2 (two) years BEFORE the election, that we would not have expended our energies in shoring up those laws in advance of 2008, when the holes in these laws came to light. As I have said on my blog, the people who finagled BO’s Presidency had several years’ head start on us; we have been playing catch-up. But now that we know how they stole the election, at least we can prevent them from stealing it again. (I will devote my energies to constructing model legislation AFTER I give up trying to make those people who perpetrated this fraud on us, pay for their crimes.)
Well the lame stream media sure as H made a huge fuss over the fact that they did NOT think that the Republican Party had thoroughly “vetted” Sarah Palin. What I am hearing here is a contorted bunch of B.S.!! CO
Florida has no law requiring the candidate for POTUS to be eligible for the job. It has no law requiring pledged delegates to follow their candidates into the Convention. If you had such laws, you could file criminal complaints of election fraud with the FL AG, against members of the D party who swore BO is Constitutionally qualified to get onto the ballot without ascertaining beforehand whether he is a NBC. Once BO was made the nominee, the only way to legally challenge his eligibility for POTUS was to keep his name off state ballots. And I began recommending that people file challenges in those states with laws requiring only the names of eligible candidates to be printed on the ballot, to file those challenges ASAP after the Convention.
Since FL has no such ballot eligibility laws, preventing his name from getting onto the ballot in that state was impossible.
As for ‘informing’ the Electors of your suspicions about his eligibility, well, no law requires them to vet the candidate, either. And whether any law can be enacted to tell the Electors how to elect depends on whether the section of the US Constitution telling Electors to vote for the POTUS is considered a ‘floor’ or a ‘ceiling.’ If it’s a floor then, additional requirements can be enacted. If it’s a ceiling then, nothing can be added to the general requirements of the job.
I fully agree. The problem here is that nobody expected that an usurper, and the DNC, would anticipate in such a voter fraud.
In the same way that a very few could visioned that 19 Arab hijackers, educated in American’s flight schools would use commercial airliners as explosive missiles to level the WTC and attack Pentagon and the Capitol???
