Trump Warns Cantor Not To Give Up Birther Fight: 'People Love This Issue'
TPM ^ | April 16, 2011 | Evan McMorris-Santoro

Posted on 04/16/2011 3:49:09 PM PDT by UniqueViews

"I don't think he is really serious when we see a campaign launch on the birther issue," Cantor said.

On Friday, Karl Rove told Fox News Trump is a "joke candidate" because of his birther-centric media cavalcade.

"It's amazing," Trump said. "He's so against me, because I am questioning. All I want to see is the guy's birth certificate."

You misunderstand. I applaud what he’s doing on the BC issue.

But he is a phony “conservative” as demonstrated by his own audio clips:

I just heard these from the Mark Levin show and they are devastating:

http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/04/sound-trumpet.html

Highlights:

He says he is “liberal” on healthcare, and that we must have universal Canadian-style healthcare 

He says he can’t understand why Nancy Pelosi didn’t do more to impeach the “evil” (his word) George Bush for “lying” to get us into Iraq.

He says he doesn’t understand why John Kerry didn’t win in 2004.

Said that George Bush was the worst president ever, although now he has changed his story to say Obama and Carter were the worst.

Don’t be fooled by this guy.

A vote for Trump will be a vote for Obama Hillary.

This is the cork in Little Barry's bathtub!

NO Trump did NOT say that.

I heard him n Hannity veey clearly ! Trump said he would only run as a third party if the GOP person was losing badly to Obama and POLLS showed IF HE WOULD JUMP IN then HE COULD WIN.

Trump went on to STATE he would NOT RUN period if it would result in OBAMA WINNING.
He stated that twice that it was all about DEFEATING Obama anyway possible.

So why are you peddling that crap ?

I’m beginning to think we need to see everyone’s birth certificate... especially Carl Rove’s.

Carlo Rove may have been born in Mexico (joking) the way he was so open borders. He banned Tom Tancredo from the White House. Rove should stop bit**ing, his day has come and gone. He should be content with his current gig as a Fox New contributor.

Trump is ahead of us and Rove is behind us.

From the clip that I heard, Trump was talking about his deliberations over whether he should run, saying that he thought he would make a great president but that he was afraid that if he ran for the Republican nomination and didn’t get it his competitiveness would get the better of him and he’d run as an independent - which he said would get Obama elected and so that would never do.

My take from what he said was that he thought he should probably only run for the Republican nomination if he felt pretty sure he’d win it, because he DOESN’T want to be a Ross Perot and recognizes that he would be tempted to go for it just because of his competitive streak.

If that’s what he meant, and if that’s true, then it seems like he has a healthy fear of his own ego getting in the way of the country’s good, which is actually sort of refreshing.

I haven’t heard/seen all the clips so maybe there are other clips where he said something different. My thoughts are based on the one clip I heard, which was the one Rush played on his radio broadcast.

He Gave 100 k to the Rush charity . Good for him. What has some peoples pants in a wad is that Trump is acting in a way that sheds light on the pathetic , stale , Pubbie 2012 wannabees. While they are in deep hiding Trump is stirring it up. As to Trumps detractors , he could care less . Like Perot said to a reporter who tried to act tough , “ The only difference between you and a bag of dog crap , is the bag “. Enjoy the show.

I want to know what it is.

Actual proof of his ineligibility.

As far as other stuff. He ran ACORN. ACORN is about nothing but FRAUD. He, and his wookie probably have 30+ ID's each. No telling how many Fraudy Macacay Loans they defaulted on!

Sarah Palin offers support for Trump birther quest

http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_8457.shtml

“Sarah Palin gave her support to Donald Trump recently for pushing the ‘birther’ agenda.

Trump said in an interview that he has sent researchers to Hawaii to investigate the validity of president Barack Obama’s birth certificate and he has doubts over whether the leader was born in the U.S.

In an interview with Fox News, Palin suggested that Trump’s claims could be good for the American people.

Palin stated that Trump’s money and resources could counter the $2 million she believes Obama has spent to keep the certificate out of the light.

However, Palin said she herself is not a birther. “

Trump has stated a few times that its all about defeating OBAMA .

He will not run as a third party if the GOP person can defeat Obama .

But if the GOP has a weak candidate ( hello Romney,Daniels , Pawlentry< Huckabee ) who is polling behind Obama and his internal polling shows he can defeat Obama then he will run.

He has said a few times its all about stopping Obama !

I have never seen anything like it, that yellow bastard yelling about a candidate before a election

And you figure yelling about a candidate you dislike is best done after an election?

Only a few fringies agree with your “two class” system of citizenship. Most Americans would find it completely repellant.

This argument goes to the core of Obama's greatest vulnerability.

That fact that almost everyone knows that he's not one of us.

If the dims cannot shut up Trump, Obama will be destroyed.

Frankly, I would prefer not to be represented by a reprobate like Trump.

“So, why do we need the birth certificate to prove it?
And, since his father’s nationality didn’t matter then, why would it matter now?”
_____________________________________________

So, why is Obozo spending millions to hide it?
Nowhere have I seen anyone give a reasonable excuse
for why he should refuse to show it.

This whole business is looking like something
only seen in a science fiction novel.

As for Trump, I do not trust him, but I am all for his pushing this.
If he were running for president as a Republican, I think he would have a good chance.

Anyway, I think the whole D*** country has gone the H in a hand basket, and will be lucky just to survive to see 2012.
