Disqualify him and put Fred Thompson in his place.

I could be convinced to go along with that.

McCain can prove that the NYT times are a bunch of idiots, once again.

Even with McCain, it is questionable whether there is a Republican candidate.

OMG.

His father and grandfather were both Admirals. I assume that means they were American citizens...Doesn’t matter where one is born if one’s parent/s is an American citizen.

"Was McCrain around at the time of the "Adoption of this Constitution"?"

Didn't have to be as he was a "Natural Born Citizen".

If the NYT is so desperate that they keep recycling an old, debunked story, I guess they soon will just put out yesterday’s papers on the newsstands and not bother to print new news at all. Or maybe the problem is that they can’t afford to pay enough journalists so they will soon just copy and paste articles from the past for the next edition!

Someone tried to use this claim against George Romney back in 1968. Not USA born.


And Sen. Goldwater in 1964 because he was born in Arizona Territory.

No, they are just beginning the death of a thousand cuts against McCain as they did Dole. Little bits and pieces will stick. One person will remember the influence peddling, another will remember he might be cheating to get in. By the time the election rolls around, McCain will be corrupt/stupid/ineligible in enough people’s minds to remove any chance he has of pulling a miracle and winning.

Really! My father was American; my mother Canadian when I was born in a military hospital in Newfoundland. I am an American citizen as much as any natural born citizen. This is such a bunch of bunk where McCain is concerned. He was born to American parents on foreign soil, whose father was in service to this nation—he’s American! Period!

Because McCain is so much like a dem, we should do anything we can to take this nomination away from him. Steal it, whatever we can at the convention to stop him.

The Jerk !

The Jayson Blair Times must really be starting to get nervous that their boy/girl is going to lose if they’re trotting out stuff like this already!

So there is absolutely no question and this is another fraudulent / ignorant story from the NY Times.

Interesting about the RR company. History is there that I’m not aware of.
