The problem is the GOP forced 2 candidates with eligibility problems upon US at the same time as the DNC did.
They are in bed with each other, and we the people pay the motel bill!
a stretch but his father an, admiral and his mother were both certainly US citizens
As I again hold my nose, I am prepared to vote for Mitt who was born in the US of two US citizen parents
each GOP candidate released all of their supporting documentation ... Obama - not so much

No they didn't. I distinctly remember everything that happened in the Primary election of 2008. Campaigning started in early 2007, and we had a pack of bad candidates. Fred Thompson was the only decent candidate we had, but he didn't bother getting into the race until after everyone else had been campaigning for months. Even then, he didn't put as much effort into it as everyone else already had. I got the impression that he was wanting to be Coronated or something. Everyone else had already secured promises to vote for them by the time Fred got into the race, and there simply weren't enough uncommitted people remaining to give him much support.
Of the remaining candidates, none of them had a widespread national following. They were all regional and niche candidates. Had we picked ANY of the remaining candidates, we would have lost by an even WIDER margin.
I was not happy with John McCain, but of the players on the field, he was the only one that stood any chance of winning at all. I voted for him in the Primary and the General because EVERY BODY ELSE SUCKED WORSE!!!!!!
