“Dogs” Republicans? I’m pretty sure the GOP has copies of their birth certificate available for public inspection ...
No kidding. Was it a conspiracy theory that forced John McCain to show his and even led the senate to deal with it?
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is about Mr. Transparency, and why he can’t even disclose his birth certificate. There is nothing crazy about wanting proof of meeting the only Consitutional requirement of being qualified for the job.
Oh, puh-leeze. If I could cause my opponents to run around looking like idiots by keeping my hairstyle secret, I’d have a hat surgically bolted to my head.
Birther Movement? Yea right. How about Constitutionalists dogs republicans then. It is an insult to be calling people who want to see our Consitution upheld a birther movement.
I don’t consider that a gaffe except he didn’t credit Rush but what he said is TRUE!
Make sure that dog doesn’t get lost.
You mean I can make this a full time job?
My children had to produce a Birth Certificate to get in the kindergarten door. Two of my kids are foreign born and both have certificates of live birth issued frm the state.
Of course the certificate lists “China” as their place of live birth.
If this is such a non-issue, why not release the documents (birth and college papers) instead of hiring an attorney to guard them. Why? Because something stinks, that’s for sure.
Haven't the legal defeats basically come down to either no standing or judges not wanting to rock the boat?
Any cases actually been heard yet to defeat? /crickets
It is Obama who is the butt of the jokes. It is Obama who is looking like a hypocrite.
All that points out is that Kobach can’t tell a joke and has little or no sense of humor. And having met the man I can attest to that.
No crime in repeating the same joke. Now if it were plagiarism, well you would have to ask the empty suit Biden to get your answer.
So Steve, it must be getting hotter at DNC headquarters just to keep covering up for Obama.

One thing will and it runs about twelve bucks and change.
What does it say about a US President who, under your scenario, could easily spend $12 to make this whole issue go away, but instead declines to do so and spends $900k to squelch inquiries just to drive his "adversaries" crazy?
You can bet that if Obama was in a position to deliver a legal document to put the whole controversy to rest -- which would silence and perhaps humiliate his adversaries -- he would do so in a heartbeat.
The fact that he can't do it is evidence of consciousness of guilt. That in itself is enough to justify closer scrutiny of his birth status.
It Takes an Agenda
Conservatives cannot live by Hillary-hate alone.
By David Weigel
It’s a balmy, beer-drinking evening in the middle of August, and the conservatives trickling in to a meeting of the Robert A. Taft Club can’t enjoy it. They’re mostly under-30 Washington professionals, and they’re fed up with the Republican Party. They think George W. Bush’s bumbling and ideological hat-trading have reduced the conservative movement to a pitiable, piddling state. If Karl Rove stepped inside, he’d come out looking like Oscar de la Hoya after a bout gone wrong.
