So you are sticking with this theory, eh? Well the typesetter for the Alexandria Herald must have also got it wrong because he printed the same dates.

Of course he printed the same thing as appeared in the Enquirer. Did you not read the note in the Alexandria Herald that said the article had been taken from the Enquirer?

Could we consider the possibility that the dates are correct, and that it is your theory regarding them which is in error? No doubt demonstrating you to be incorrect is a waste of your time.

Even if the theory should be incorrect (and rereading the article, it's ossible that it might be) it doesn't matter.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that you're right, and that it took the Madison administration a year and a half to help McClure. So freaking what? Being right about how long it took the Madison administration to help McClure would only show that they took a long time. It wouldn't show why.

This whole conversation is a great example of what birthers do. They decide what they want to claim, and then they twist or stretch or make up evidence to support it.

You claim that McClure was found to be a citizen on the basis of his father's naturalization. But that simply isn't the case. The letter from the US government cited simply the fact that he was born in the US. If his father's naturalization had been the important thing, they would have sent a letter instead that said, "Mr. McClure is a US citizen because his father naturalized in such-and-such year, and he received automatic naturalization along with that." And in fact, they could not and would not have said, "McClure is a citizen because he was born in the US," because in that instance, he would not have been a US citizen until his father naturalized.

So, any time birthers are confronted with evidence against their claims, they simply ignore it and move the goal posts. "Well, he had to, like, not be a citizen because the governemtn took so long to respond. Yeah, that's it."

And it's all BS.

In fact, it is so much BS that I really don't know why JimRob tolerates it. I guess there must be some decent donors who are birthers. I suppose that would be a significant enough reason for most folks.
