I view Donald Trump as a very liberal Republican/populist who wants to be 'good friends' with everyone of consequence on the left or right of the political spectrum to prove that he is as important as he thinks he is. That being my opinion of Trump, I wouldn't vote for him as president under any circumstances. However, Trump is serving the purpose of taking what always should have been a major issue in the '08 campaign but was brushed aside by the Democrats and their media lackeys as being in poor taste to even mention it. Soon, the term 'birther' was coined and used as a pejorative against anyone who dared mention Obama's citizenship. Now, Donald Trump, the real estate billionaire with a weird hairdo and a feisty 'New York attitude', for whatever personal reason (I don't believe in conspiracies) is bringing Obama's refusal to produce a long-form birth certificate back to public attention. Trump won't be silenced by lefties calling him a 'birther' Good for him.

That so many well-known conservatives have side-stepped the issue by declaring that they believed Obama was a U.S. citizen, mostly because they assumed the issue did not resonate with the electorate, is disappointing but typical of far too many 'conservatives' afraid of criticism from the leftmedia. Apparently, Donald Trump isn't afraid of the flak and is keeping up the questioning about the elusive Obama long-form birth certificate. This may go nowhere or it could have very serious ramifications should Obama be forced to prove his U.S. citizenship and eligibility to hold the office of U.S. president but be unable to do so. If Obama can, at long last, produce the sought after birth certificate proving his U.S. citizenship (and eligibility to hold the office of president)the issue will die quickly and the only downside is that Trump will look a bit foolish, and not for the first time, either. That it took a media hound like Donald Trump to get this serious issue back in the public eye is a bit odd - but I'll take it.

“I don’t believe in conspiracies”

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Do you believe Watergate happened?

It was a conspiracy of grand proportion. Eventually it took down TWO US Attorney Generals (the highest ranking law officer in the country) and many other officials at the highest level of government. Nixon was pardoned to ‘save the country’ but he would have been fried in an open courtroom.

Conspiracies are fact of life. Especially at the highest level. And they are not fantasy as many who post here what us all to believe.

Just like we must never forget 9/11 we must also never forget Watergate. Watergate told us that our government could be corrupted. In 1972 it seems it was for pure personal and political power. But in 2008 could the corruption be something more dangerous to the Republic?
