Yah, sure, Ryan should get himself involved in this side issue right before election.

I'm a semi-birther myself in that I think he was a foreign student of some kind, but if I were Ryan I'd send these politically-naive agitators who are bugging him a manual on how to win elections in modern-day America.

Ryan and Romney haven’t won anything yet. McCain certainly couldn’t beat Obama, so it’s rather naive to assume that one tactic will prevail over someone who is irrationally popular, when it would be Constitutionally correct simply to have Obam disqualified from office.

I agree Ryan should not get involved in this issue, but I see no reason for him to push that document of dubious veracity. It didn't come from Hawaii, it came from Obama's team. For some reason, Hawaii is not letting anyone see the real thing, not even to qualify Obama to run for re-election.

Apparently we need a law exempting all Presidential candidates from any privacy laws relating to their eligibility. A Sane person would have assumed that this legal condition was already implicit in our laws based on the need to conform to constitutional law, but apparently a petty little rump state privacy law has more power than Article II in our brilliant legal minds of today.
