Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday credited Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) for making "the right decision" with her veto of the so-called "birther bill," which would have required presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates in order to qualify for the ballot.

Legislation like this has been offered in a number of state legislatures across the country, driven by persistent speculation in some quarters that President Obama was not born in Hawaii. No similar law had gotten as far as a governor's desk, however.
McCain, Obama's 2008 Republican rival, said in a message posted to Twitter Tuesday afternoon that he was "proud" of Brewer "for her veto of the 'birther bill' - it was the right decision."

McCain...
I can barely say his name without wanting to spit.
Way to go democrate juan mccain. And the same to anyone that supported the butt wips reelection.
McCain really deserved to lose. What I am really thinking I can’t write on here.
You wrote: “Obama’s BUTT-BOY.”
Absolutely right.... Senate Resolution 511.
‘Nuff said.
If you had any doubts Brewer did the wrong thing, this should erase them.
McCain gave 0bama a free pass so he is the sworn enemy.
That was nearly on cue. Brewer and McCain - Obama’s Arizona faction of the Organizing For America terrorist organization.
McStain..The stain that keeps on staining.
I have no doubt that Brewer consulted with McCain prior to making the decision.
The more time goes on, the less I see even a need for the Senate.
Brewer is running for Senator from AZ to replace John Kyl in 2012.
The RINO's bought her fair and square.
So that means if Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to run for President, that would be OK. Doesn’t make any difference what the constitution says, since he wouldn’t have to prove it anyway.
Juan McCain needs to fade away into the sunset...
Here reasoning is weak, this she did not read it, or is making a politically motivated decision. Loser either way.
IF THE CANDIDATE DOES NOT POSSESS A LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AS REQUIRED BY THIS PARAGRAPH, THE CANDIDATE MAY ATTACH TWO OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS THAT SHALL TAKE THE PLACE OF THE LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE IF THE CANDIDATE SWEARS TO THEIR AUTHENTICITY AND VALIDITY AND THE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO DETERMINE IF THE CANDIDATE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS PRESCRIBED IN ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES:
(a) EARLY BAPTISMAL OR CIRCUMCISION CERTIFICATE.
(b) HOSPITAL BIRTH RECORD.
(c) POSTPARTUM MEDICAL RECORD FOR THE MOTHER OR CHILD SIGNED BY THE DOCTOR OR MIDWIFE OR THE PERSON WHO DELIVERED OR EXAMINED THE CHILD AFTER BIRTH.
(d) EARLY CENSUS RECORD.
2. A SWORN STATEMENT OR FORM THAT IDENTIFIES THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S PLACES OF RESIDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR FOURTEEN YEARS.
C. IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUBSECTION B, THE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE MAY ALSO SUBMIT A NOTARIZED AFFIDAVIT FROM TWO OR MORE PERSONS WHO WITNESSED THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S BIRTH.
IMHO, everything after the first paragraph makes the bill worthless.
McCain needs to retire from politics and go open a taco stand or something.
