Kyrsten Sinema, a Democratic representative in the Arizona state legislature, said the "birther bill" recently advanced in the Arizona House would make the state "the laughing stock of the nation." Reaction to the legislation indicates people agree.
The Arizona House of Representatives on Monday voted 31 - 22 to advance a bill that would require Arizona's secretary of state to review a presidential candidate's birth certificate before that candidate could get on the ballot in the state.
The Arizona Republic reports, "The legislation originated from a fringe group that believes President Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and therefore ineligible to be president."

Come on AZ - get it passed. Then we need to get a few others.
Hmm ... CBS story here, and a CNN story with the same bent earlier this morning ... Couldn’t possibly be any of that MSM collusion, could it?
What’s so laughable about a state wanting to review a candidate’s birth certificate before they put them on the ballot in that state? Seems like due dilligence to me.
If upholding the law makes you a laughing stock it’s a sorry state of affairs.
The ridiculous Mainstream Leftist Media is repeating the same old lines to protect the Marxist Muslim Messiah (mmm...mmm...mmm).
Funny, the New York Times was all about finding McAmnesty’s birth certificate.

Since Washington sees no problem with this, I guess we can assume that if other states did the same thing, they wouldn’t mind?
Gibbs sent out the Obama Pony Express with the latest talking points.
I want the “scoffers” and critics to explain to me
what exactly is wrong with confirming the CONSTITUTIONAL ELIGIBILITY of any candidate before they are put on the ballot.
Basically STFU you Pantywaist pissant president. Show the damn long form of the birth certificate. When I went into the military in 1982 I had to show my birth certificate to enter. When I was discharged with 100% disability for being in Lebanon, I had to show the birth certificate again. When I worked for the United States Postal Service birth certificate was required. When I worked for the US census in 1990 I had to show the birth certificate. basically I am sick and tired of the millions being spent to defend the non release of the damn birth certificate. His mother should have thrown away the baby and kept the afterbirth
A full educational and professional resume with supporting proof would be a good addition to such a law as well.
Will the “scoff” at it once he tries to get on the AZ ballot for 2012?
Say what?
That's like someone in the NFL getting mad that the league tightens up on its free agent procedures for future free agents.
Say what?
That's like someone getting mad that a college establishes a procedure to make sure that students are citizens, and therefore eligible for certain types of admission and funding status. Oh, wait, the White House DID get mad, and DOJ did sue a college for requiring proof of citizenship:

“would require Arizona’s secretary of state to review a presidential candidate’s birth certificate”
*********************
The regime is shooting for 50 progressive secretaries of state, whether this bill goes down or not.
By CBS and CNN logic, the Constitution must be a “birther” document as well.
the = they!
Hey, I’m going to have to show a certified copy of my birth certificate when I renew my Florida driver’s license in 2012. I see no reason the “anointed one” should get a pass on his birth certificate to become President of the United States.

I love how the Arizona Republic is quoted as the source explaining the motivation behind the legislation. That’s like the LA Times quoting the NY Times as a source. The law would apply to all and would help prevent “birther” type conspiracy theories in the future. How would this be a bad idea?
I’m proud of my state this week. (I doubt Hayworth can unseat McCain but he will have my vote)
