At this point in the game, this in not how we want to win. We need to beat them at the polls and not on technicalities.

A win on issues like this would turn Obama from a Senator into a Martyr.

And if he wins and is later found to be ineligible to hold office do you really believe the democrats would act to remove him?

If that happens, how long do you think it would be before a George Soros shows up at the supreme court demanding his "right" to run and cites the Obama precedent? The constitutional requirement is not a technicality.

With all due respect for your sensitivities, the Constitution of the United States of America and its mandates are NOT "technicalities". The consequences of the election of a person who CANNOT serve in the office are consequential and far reaching. Do some research on your own and educate yourself to the consequences.

A win on issues like this would turn Obama from a Senator into a Martyr.

So what. A small price to pay for saving the Republic.

Meanwhile, let's all dedicate ourselves to making all this moot, by making sure the poseur is sent packing on election day. Let's crush the b*st*rd's n#tz at the polls.

A liar and obfuscator like Obama will never be a martyr.

So, if Osamabama becomes a martyr, that means he's dead, right?

This is a bad thing?

And, BTW, given all the illegalities in The Marxist's campaign, the name of the game has become, ''Just win, baby!''

“We need to beat them at the polls and not on technicalities”.

This sort of reasoning is why so much of our ruling class and much of the electorate treat the constitution like used toilet paper. Art. 2, sec 1 of the constitution is a KEY provision to help to ensure against usurpation of the office by an individual with potentially divided allegiances. Hell, it’s been hard enough to prevent that with undoubted natural born recent presidents, much less a lying crypto-marxist bastid like Obama. Even more importantly, consider this. If this thoroughly counterfeit fraud is willing to go to this length to subvert constitutional safeguards to cheat his way into office, what do you think he would do with the awesome power of the presidency behind him??? I think that he would go to ANY lengths, however ruthless and despotical, to retain power.

Technicality?

It’s a requirement of the Constitution, not a technicality.

How does one decide the parts of the Constitution to ignore?
