Riiiiiight. The eligibility of John McCain, born to his mother (a U.S. natural born citizen) while his father (a U.S. natural born citizen) was serving in the U.S. military, was in doubt. Riiiiight.
You may not realize it... but that's the stance that some of the birthers (here on Free Republic) take on John McCain, that he was not qualified per the Constitution, just like Obama was not qualified per the Constitution.
I've had FReepers tell me that they refused to vote for John McCain because he was not qualified per the Constitution.
That's not my stance, as I did vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin ... :-)
I'm just letting you know that you've got a good number of Freepers here who say it also pertains to John McCain, so it's just not some nutty liberal group who may think so ...
You are both wrong.
McCain was born in Colon, Republic of Panama.
All of us kids who were born in the Canal Zone knew we could never run for president.
Worse, McCain was not only not born in the CZ, he was born in foreign country.
Where have you been hiding?
Were you born in the CZ and lived here? Obviously not. You have no idea about what you are talking.
You are embarrassingly misinformed.
“I’ve had FReepers tell me that they refused to vote for John McCain because he was not qualified per the Constitution.”
The strength of forums like FR are also, to a lesser extent, it weakness. This forum has people of many different opinions and the only thing they agree on is their dislike of the Left side of politics.
Grab any ten Freepers at random and as them what they think about a particular issue....you will get eleven opinions.
