The birther movement has been one embarrassing failure after another.

Hard to make progress when your own side goes to such great efforts to help the enemy stab you in the back.

Don’t pretend you were at any time offering a legitimate challenge to Obama sitting at your keyboard repeating idiotic conspiracy theories on the Internet.

I'm pretty certain you can search my entire posting history and not discover any suggestion from me that any of this was a "conspiracy." I have been pretty adamant that there is no conspiracy, just massive incompetence and idiocy on the part of people who failed to do their jobs. (government officials.)

As for real efforts on my part, I did what I could to get the issue brought to the attention of my state legislators, and we came D@mn close to getting a law passed which would REQUIRE a presidential candidate to submit a certified copy of an ORIGINAL birth certificate.

Unfortunately, the Governor decided the whole issue would be an embarrassment, and so worked behind the scenes calling in favors to get them to let the legislative term expire with no action taken. This is another example of what I mean about getting back-stabbed by your "Allies."

So how did that "ballot box" thing work out for ya? Any better success than "birthers?"

No, it's hard to make progress when pretty much every claim you make is bs.

As was illustrated just now by my picking one claim pretty much at randon and showing what nonsense it was.

No, it didn't have any more success than the birthers. It also didn't have more success than the argument that Obama is a member of the lizard race. That doesn't mean we should take either argument more seriously going forward.
