Uhhh, yeah, ya think? This birth certificate stuff is about the most retarded thing I've ever seen.
[All politicians lie. Every single last one of them.]
So what do you find attractive about Free Republic? It’s a POLITICAL site, must be you are here to try debunk ANY theories about ANYTHING political.
I’m glad you are not on our Neighborhood Crime Watch team, you’d never see anything suspicious.
[Youre posting OLD NEWS..]
What I posted was concerns about our OLD CONSTITUTION.
You have to cut through the web of lies to get to certain political truths. That’s all part of having an interest in politics.
My post was in reponse to a post that Obama’s lie about being a muslim was a major issue, not because he was a muslim, but because he lied about it. I don’t see his lie as a major issue, because all politicians lie. I don’t see whether or not he was a muslim as being that big of an issue.
Maybe it’s better to say that his lying about being a muslim is a subset of one of the much larger issues identified in post #10. Specifically, he throws his religion under the bus because he sees it as “politically expedient.” If people believe he’s a muslim, it will cost him votes. So he’ll lie about it. Just like he throws all the other “embarssments” of his past under the bus.
But to get back to the original issue, yes, I believe all politicians lie. It’s what they lie about as much as what they are truthful about that defines whether or not you can support them.
[I bet that this is a nonstarter.]
Judging from the snarky remarks I’ve received, you are probably right, I might as well be posting on the DU.
No concerns about the Constitution evident here.
[A lot of good, valid reasons]
I guess you don’t consider what could be the overriding of the Constitution not being among them.
IF he were elected president without the scrutiny of his origins, a precedent would be set that this country will never recover from.
[Its what they lie about...]
I consider the ambiguous and questionable document presented as his birth certificate as a ‘visual lie’, unless it is cleared up and put to rest.
My concerns are about The Constitution and the ramifications if it is overridden or ignored.
I wished I lived in Honolulu Hawaii as I WOULD go checking on records.
Aren't there any Hawaiian Freepers out there who could do this?
