Could someone please explain this to me....why would ANY state vote against requiring the Commander-in-Chief to prove they are constitutionally eligible to hold the highest office in the land. This makes no sense to me. What is the rationale behind not requiring proof in the future?????
This is insane. What a joke. Nebraska may also punt.
I can only surmise that the media, in concert with the administration has done such a good job of painting anyone who doubts BHO’s eligibility as a wack job, outlier or racist that no solid group of legislators, even in the reddest or most libertarian of states is willing to fade the heat.
Groupthink encourages us to swallow the Big Lie.
One reason is because you have guys like this academic village idiot of Purdue U. screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Bert Rockman, a professor of political science, is frustrated with the so-called ‘birther' movement, a phenomenon he said has never before arisen.
"I don't want to pull any punches, but they're lunatics," he said. "It's because we have a president of color who lived part of his life outside the country. The birth certificate is quite clear - he was born in Honolulu.
"The only person who might be believe this type of stuff is beyond the fringe," he said. "There's a sixth, maybe a fifth of the country - even in a highly developed, industrialized society - that are susceptible to fascist and racist ideas. It's a regeneration of the John Birch Society."
So we're lunatics, fascist, racists, and farther than any other fringe group... according to this clown.
“....why would ANY state vote against requiring the Commander-in-Chief to prove they are constitutionally eligible to hold the highest office in the land.?”
Because they’ve been threatened. That’s what makes sense to me.
It seems like in a few of the other states, they were ready to go forward the “Birther Bills” and then all of a sudden they back off.
One question: Once elected to office, is there a spine-zapper that turns everyone's into linguini? If not, these s.o.b.'s have sold their souls and our country down the drain ---- and that's the honest to God's truth. Wake up America!
