Both Jindal and Rubio are eligible if for no other reason that O’Bumbler is the President.

Please, drop the BS about eligibility. It didn't work on a guy with a questionable birth place and limited provenance. It certainly won't work on two guys who have naturalized Americans as parents.

Jindal’s parents were merely green card holders and not naturalized citizens at the time of Gov. Jindal’s birth.

I will respectfully differ with you on this.

In my opinion it is not BS. The fact that people question it makes it a legitimate issue to be considered. And you can bet that if conservatives are questioning it, then liberals will attack it.

Saying that it didn’t matter for Zero doesn’t mean it’s ok for us. I have a hard time believing that either Jindal or Rubio is absolutely the #1 best possible conservative candidate we could run even if without eligibility questions. (I have a similar attitude toward Jeb Bush or any Bush running. Isn’t there anyone else??? It’s not because I hate Bush. It’s because I don’t like political dynasties and I believe there are other, much more qualified candidates.)

Wake up.

Democrats are going to be the biggest birthers around in 2016. Suddenly NBC will matter.

McCain got scrutiny not Obama.

There’s a flaw in your argument. Obama is a democrat, and the democrats don’t care about whether their candidate is a natural born citizen. The other two are republicans, and there are plenty of republicans that do care about whether their candidate is a natural born citizen. Therefore, it behooves the republican party to consider that factor, if they want republican voters to vote for their candidate. On the other hand, if they plan to lose again, like usual, then you’re right, it shouldn’t matter.
