Oh, you birthers are all alike. You are just clinging to your guns and Bibles and your antipathy towards others that are not like you. When will you learn that those things marginalize you?

[wintertime]

But it can stop. Just repeat after me; “0bama is a patriotic citizen and we have nothing to fear from him.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

mmm! MMM! **MMM**!!! :-)

Maybe they could get those teens in the black panther military garb to do a jive dance and chant to that!

Idiots along with John G. Roberts an Dick Cheney.

"A WaPo reporter saw it and wrote a story about that. WaPo is hardly friendly with Republicans."

And yet... McCain still did not release it. Let's do a point by point comparison, shall we?



1A. McCain has never released his certificate in any form.

1B. Obama scanned his certificate and released it to multiple news sources including Daily Kos, FactCheck, and Politifact. It was published on the Internet allowing anybody who wanted to get a look at it.



2A. A McCain aide allowed a single reporter to look at the certificate and report on it. He did not allow him to take any photographs or to transcribe the document.

2B. An Obama aide allowed a team of reporters from FactCheck to look at the certificate and report on it. He allowed them to take as many photographs as they wanted and publish them, which of course they did.



3A. When challenged in court to prove his eligibility to be president, McCain never presented his Birth certificate. Instead, he successfully moved that the cases (there were only three of them) be dismissed for standing.

3B. When challenged in court to prove his eligibility to be president, Obama never presented his Birth certificate. Instead, he successfully moved that the cases (there were only three of them) be dismissed for standing.



Gotta tell you... it sure seems to look like McCain has a lot more to hide than Obama does. He has been nowhere near as forthcoming.

PS. Don't bother to post a link to the fake McCain Birth Certificates that are circulating on the Web. They were not released by McCain, but instead by one of the people suing him for eligibility. They have been proven to be forgeries.

You’ve been reading a lot of crap from lefty trolls, ain’t ya! Ya got it down pat! LOL

[wintertime]

Needless to say, he didn’t win..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Drip drip drip! In 2008 the Republicans lost big time!

So?...Drip drip drip. Where's the birth certificate? Where's the birth certificate? Where's the birth certificate?

[DJ MacWoW]

Yep! Unfortunately for us.

[TigersEye]

IBTZ (I’ve always wanted to be first to do that.) ;^)

OMG! You are SUCH a TOOL!!!!

[TigersEye]

Lefty trolls? I was quoting our two most recent Presidential candidates.

[EnderWiggins]

How else would you suggest he “release it?” Certainly you didn’t think he was gonna mail everybody their own certified copy, did you?

[DJ MacWoW]

Rinos? I don't pay attention.

I don't care where Obama was born. He could have been born on the desk in the Oval Office with the whole cabinet watching. His father was a foreigner and that makes him ineligible.

but it does leave plenty of room for people who are conspiratorially inclined to fill in the blanks.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Where's the conspiracy?

Fact: Obama used U.S. attorneys to block the release of ***COMMMON*** documents. He is vigorously lawyering up to prevent information being released that unanointed Americans release every day ( especially for security clearances)

That is FACT FACT FACT! This is NOT a conspiracy!

FACT: Obama wasted the time of U.S. attorneys at time when plots were being laid to shoot our soldiers dead on their home bases and recruitment centers, and blow planes out of the sky!

That is a FACT FACT FACT!

[DJ MacWoW]

Posting a CertificaTION of Live Birth on lefty websites is certainly not it. And you are still a troll.

0bamas’ hidden records: Why are these off limits?
...
22 Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.
...
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.

Anyone who thinks that, on 6 November 2012, after Obama has been President for 45 and 1/2 months, you could fill a Grey Hound Bus with the number of people who cast their vote based on having seen, or not seen, the guy's kindergarten records, is so far out of the political mainstream that they don't even know which way the river is.

If Birtherism ever wants to become a serious political movement, its going to have to purge people with beliefs like that.

The problem is, who would be left?

[parsifal]

Uh, yes. The Night of 10,000 Maniacs might be a better choice.

parsy, proud member of THE SANITY SQUAD!

[EnderWiggins]

So then... if that's not it, the what is it? I'm sure you must have something in mind.

[TigersEye]

You don't have to tell me that.

Release the long form! No phonies COLBs from KOS.

[parsifal]

Dude, Ann Coulter is pretty darn conservative and extremely partisan. She ain’t a birther. Glen Beck is, well Glen Beck. He ain’t a birther. Bill O’Reilly ain’t a birther. Huckabee ain’t a birther.

parsy, who says there’s a reason these people ain’t birthers-—it’s because Obama is a citizen and president.
