And for the record (and I have said this on FR in the past) I don’t think it is going to go anywhere, so from a pragmatic point of view, it will likely be wasted effort.

But if people want to pursue it in parallel with other efforts to undermine the legislative destruction his agenda and that of liberals is having on this country, then I see nothing wrong with that.

What I DO see wrong is allowing liberals to frame the boundaries of what is proper and what is not, forcing the rest of us to stay within those boundaries, use the words they define as allowable, and cede to them the acceptablity of who and what should be scorned and ridiculed, and who and what should be praised and elevated.

We have seen the damage that has caused socially, and now we are seeing the results of that politically.

Don’t be so dramatic. Phrases are coined, they get used and then become part of the vernacular. I never liked the word “FReeper” when Lucianne came up with it...I actively tried to get it shunned. Unfortunately, nothing I could do about it, it stuck.

If you think you can get “birther” switched to “consitutionalist”, well, good luck with that.

Honestly, what I see happening is that there will never be an *aha* moment. Just like in the search for WMD's in Iraq. There will never be the "smoking gun" of evidence revealed, and their side will believe he is eligible no matter what you wave in their face. "Birthers", including myself will always question whether or not he is eligible.

I am 99.9% sure that we will never see the day that he is booted from office. And we will never know the whole truth.
