Well, a foreigner would not be occupying the White House. If he wins then John Kerry would be occupying the White House and he was born here.

That's like saying that Hillary Clinton didn't occupy the White House.

And if you believe that politics is beyond people, and the only way that you can think of to whip up their support is through some xenophobic crap against Teresa Kerry, then maybe they should stay home?

Politics is beyond a lot of people. Not all, but there are a lot of people who vote on more folksy issues - who is more likable, who has a nicer family, and who they identify with on a personal level. That is part of the equation, even for people who do follow the issues closely. People don't want a first family that does not represent themselves or America. Not wanting a foreigner in the White House isn't "xenophobic crap". It is sound policy regarding America's national interests, and it goes to the very heart of sovereign American identity.

Constitutionally she did not.

Not wanting a foreigner in the White House sn't "xenophobic crap".

It sure is. Which is why I'm grateful that people other than you decide what is legal and what is not.
