Only the headline is posted. You don't suppose the NYT is trying to make sure there is NO republican candidate, do you?

[nuconvert]

This again?

[SevenofNine]

This crap againnn OH MAN

Give it up NY LIars that reason why or part of reason their cirucluation is down

[Norman Bates]

This just keeps getting better!

[Brilliant]

Not to me. His parents were American. What could be more clear than that?

[ARE SOLE]

God, I wish this were true.

This story has been around before. One would think it was analyzed and dismissed at that point. But I guess not. This is the NYT. They can’t take a hint.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

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

[mdittmar]

Who cares?

[SpaceBar]

Fine. Let’s play along. Disqualify him and put Fred Thompson in his place.

[eastforker]

That is so bogus,not even relevant.

[sphinx]

Huh? Lessee ... Don't know about McCain's mother, but I sorta, kinda recall McCain's father was Naval Academy, an admiral, etc. Presumably a U.S. citizen. What does the Canal Zone have to do with it?

Surely even the NYT isn't that addled.

[LucyJo]

And, the second black president is hanging on by his white American genes.

[Dog Gone]

Even today, the Canal Zone is more American than Laredo.

[Cicero]

Wait. If we manage to get rid of McCain, maybe we can still get a decent candidate, assuming the RNC permits it.

I must confess, this is a new one on me. First I ever heard of it.

The Constitution says, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of the President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained the Age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a Resident withing the United States."

If the editors at the NYT could read, they would see he is eligible.

[TitansAFC]

LOL

This is so pathetic. The NYT is going to wind-up looking like an anti-McCain smear rag to even the wishy-washy Moderates and Independents at the rate they are going.

Good to see them desperate so early. McCain leads while taking the smears - meanwhile Obama trails despite being treated like Jesus’ better by the MSM. Just wait until B. Hussein O. actually has to take some heat.

I think John McCain is going to be the 44th President, and that the Times knows it!

[KevinDavis]

[Vision]

Funny stuff. Don’t we wish.

[Republican Wildcat]

This kind of nonsense from the NY Times is just want McCain needs - seriously. They think they are hurting him but they will end up doing the opposite.

[ConservaTexan]

This wouldn’t be an issue if his mother had run across the Rio Grande and squeezed him out.
