Finally, I’m in sync with the MSM. McCain is not eligible to run for prez!

Correct.

McCain was born in a foreign country and is not eligible.

You read this stuff about being born in the "zone"--it really doesn't make any difference. The Panama Canal Zone was still in Panama as was the military base.

More important, McCain wasn't born in the Canal Zone either--he was born in a private Hospital in Colon Panama, in an area specifically excluded from the Canal Zone.

He was delivered by a US Military Doctor--does anyone want to argue that delivery by a US Military Doctor in a foreign country is as good as delivery in the geographical territory of the several states?

I can’t tell if people like you are kidding or smoking dope. Whatever the case, you are not funny or factual. Hundreds of babies are born every year to Americans abroad, and not one of them is uneligible to run for Pres. some day.

McCain's place of birth does not matter. Nor does who delivered him. His parentage is what makes him eligible.

Of course, if you oppose American forces, you are free to bring up legal fictions designed to make their progeny ineligible. And thus make yourself out to be what you are.

Sheesh! Did I just defend Juan McCain?? Well, I did vote for him in 2008 ...
