Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.
Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

“It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race,” Ryan, 44, said in a statement. “What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play.”
Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was “truly outrageous” that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.
The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.
“I feel for him actually,” Obama told a Chicago TV station. “What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody.”
The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.
The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.
“Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state,” she said.

This is gonna embarass EVERYBODY-!
Ping!
One lemming is out of the hole!!!
At the time of the drafting and ratification of the United States constitution,
the definition of natural born citizen, combined both the principles of jus soli and jus sanguinis.
“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
Emmerich De Vattel, (1714-1767,) Law of Nations, 1758, § 212, "Of the citizens and naturals."
All Republican politicians, being interviewed, should carry their legitimate stamped birth certificate with them at all times. If asked the ridiculous question about being a “birther”, immediately pull it out of their wallet and say “If I’m not afraid to show mine why should the President of the United States be afraid to show his”?
OMG!!!
It's true...absolute proof!!!
Where are all those “anti-birther” clowns that are supposedly conservative or populist like loser O’reilly aka The Leprechaun. Clowns like Beck, Hewitt, Boortz (man is he tedious), Ingraham, Coulter (sad cause I like her), Medved and a few others.
True Blue conservatives and non-sell outs:
Rush, Levin, Cunningham, Savage, Malzberg, Dennis Miller (I think) and a few others I think including Hannity.

This is a good point that must be remembered when "Arguing with Obamanidiots". That recourse can be found in Vattel's Law of Nations and in the Supreme Court's Venus case.
I find it unimaginable that some one who went to school with Obama doesn't have a class picture or year book. Good Lord a TV documentary was able to find school pictures of Hitler's distant nephews living in New Jersey under an assumed name. We have pictures of Bill and Hillary Clinton looking like hippies. Why nothing for Obama? Obama's past is as sparse as if his family was in a witness protection program.
One of the early reporters to work with the Obama campaign campaign to establish the authenticity of the forgery in the eyes of the public was Amy Hollyfield of the St. Petersburg Times.
An inciteful sentence.
How a Crude Forgery Was Passed Off as Authentic to get an Unknown Elected as President of The USA
A Chronology of Forgery & Deceit
Most know that there are doubts about Obama’s Birth Certificate or eligibility to be President of the United States, but few are aware of how his supporters passed off an obvious forgery of a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth and used cleverly crafted quotes of apparent authorities to establish its authenticity for the purpose of committing election fraud upon the entire nation.
The notion that it is a forgery continues to be squashed by the Main Stream Media.

I.E., misdirect the issue toward the "Native Born Option," rather than the "Natural Born Citizen" issue.
There seems to be a plot afoot to make all types of citizens "equal" in the POTUS eligibility category. It's as if the pols have all agreed that running for POTUS is a civil right, not a matter of national security, as it so clearly was and still is.
Republicans simply have not faced this Constitutional Eligibility issue squarely. Try this, J.D. "Chris, what do you think a 'Natural Born Citizen' is? I think it is a person both of whose parents are American Citizens. I look forward to a Supreme Court ruling on the subject."
Not even Chrissie Tingly Leg could find fault with that sort of bland statement ... or call J.D. a "rabid right-wing Birther!"
Time for Republicans to go on a bit ...just a bit... of offence on this topic.
I’m sending this thread to Glenn Beck. Do you think he will read it? Do you think he will apologize to the birthers and start doing some serious “questioning with boldness” and start investigating this issue like he does everything else? I bet he won’t. I also bet his core supporters will start melting away very rapidly.
