Birthers pick up support in Virginia, North Carolina
National Post ^ | 8/11/09 | Editors

Posted on 08/11/2009 8:27:54 AM PDT by pissant

Birthers appear to be gaining ground in the Old South, where a large percentage of voters in two states claim they are unconvinced that Barack Obama is a natural born American.

A poll carried out by Public Policy Polling, a firm based in Raleigh, N.C., found that only 53% of voters in Virginia believe the President was born in the United States, against 24% who are convinced he's a foreigner, and 24% who aren't sure.

In addition, a blog on CQ Politics, a site sponsored by Congressional Quarterly, says results from a similar poll in North Carolina found that 47% of Republicans think Mr. Obama was born outside the U.S. Only 24% are convinced he's an authentic American, and 29% aren't sure.

LOL. Only 53% of VA voters think he is a NBC. That includes not just GOPers. Methinks the SRM's hysterical rantings against the birfers is backfiring.

I love the smell of commie fear in the morning....

Does this movement really expect the president to publicize anything that may be incriminating?

Yes, people are starting to wonder why Obama is not releasing a document that could defuse the controversy.

I don’t know what is on the document that he is trying so desperately to keep secret - only that there definitely is something.

We expect more lawsuits, and more investigations will finally make it unsustainable for him to hold out.

My prediction: The “make fun of the birther” phase in nearing the end. It failed. The “let’s ignore them and hope they go away” phase will be restarted since there is nothing else available in Left’s arsenal.

We will know when axelrod sends out the memo. The restarting of silence will be as sudden as the start of the 1000s of articles on the subject came about.

I don’t know all the facts. But I feel I don’t need to know all the facts. Not a single citizen born in the US has ever spent more than $10 to prove their citizenship. That’s all I need to know. He’s hiding something important.

Are we prepared for that?

There are so many possibilities! There are so many ways to challenge his ability to serve...I hope we are ready to challenge each one.

I don’t want this to drag on, but fear it will.

The truthers had a bipartisan 9/11 commission to investigate. Why can’t there be a bipartisan commission to look at all of Mr. Obama’s original bc, college transcripts, college papers, passport, et al, to put this issue to rest? I know it’s wishful thinking with dems controlling congress, but maybe that is what the American people should be saying to press the issue. It just makes sense.

The longer Zer0 withholds critical documents, the more suspicious people become. If I was advising him, I would advise a complete document dump of every thing.

....but, hey, I am not his adviser.....and I suspect that Zer0's natural instinct is to give us the finger..

..his arrogance is galling.....he asked for the job...if he don't like it, he should..

Quit!

Do you remember the “Ah-Ha” moment we all enjoyed when President Bush's supposed embarrassing military record was exposed as a forgery? Regardless of any validity in your arguments about Obama’s place of birth, I can't help but feel Obama will save his “Ah-Ha” moment for a time when it will do him the most good, such as right before a critical house or senate vote on health care or cap and trade. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that all of you are playing right into his hands on this issue. You all run the risk of sinking all of us for something he may never produce any proof of, and as far as the Supreme Court is concerned, he doesn't have to.

Oh yeah. Forgot about them. But it don’t hurt to keep the pressure on. Just saying...

Apples and oranges.

The SRM led by Dan Rather tried to shove a fraudulent story down America’s throat. And it was debunked by bloggers and freepers.

The bloggers and freepers discuss, analyze, and dissect all the tidbits of info we have on Obama to date, and demand more solid evidences from the known liar, while the SRM is circling the wagons and trying to tell the world that those tidbits are enough.

It’s just one document. And yet he’s hanging onto it for dear life.

As I’ve said before, it reminds me of Nixon and the tapes. Only Nixon didn’t have the media covering for him. Just the opposite!

Who/what court do you believe would be able to do this? If a BC is produced, will it stop?

....if he gives up the one document and it "proves" he is a NBC....then the demand will be made to see all the other documents...his transcripts, speeches...everything he has done in his past.

Zer0 has thrown down the gauntlet...any peace that he wished for is gone.

fleas on a dog...flys on a cow....lice on a chicken....there will be no relief...

he asked for the job...

...if he don't want the unpleasantness, he should...

Quit!
