I think he’s rather formidable looking...No International Leader would want to push his buttons very hard. Unlike Obama...dipwad.
Why Senator John McCain Cannot be President: Eleven Months and a Hundred Yards Short of Citizenship
West’s rhetoric matches his demeanor, and anyone that’s familiar with his military record knows that his rhetoric also matches his character. That’s a great picture; one that communicates conviction.
I’m looking forward to clarification regarding West’s dismissal of the GOP’s plan to incrementally deconstruct Obamacare.
Apparently you, like McCain, have a problem with the rule of law and the Constitution. As well as being too ignorant to even understand a legal brief if you read one.
I am no fan of McCain. But I did vote for him in 2008. And if you didn't, you are scum!
If you don’t think the rule of law is what this nation was founded on then you are scum. And your Saul Alinsky style character assassination attempt doesn’t impress me. Maybe that works for you over on Teen Chat.
The law is simple. NBC simply means citizen by birth. That includes McCain. And Obama, too, unfortunately. And if you think you are going to get rid of Obama by conjuring up 18th century ghosts, you are wasting your time and diverting resources from more productive pursuits.
Diverting resources? ROTFLMAO What freakin’ cartoon did you crawl out of?
I wouldn't know.
Resource conscious cartoonists would not waste their ink on birfers.
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
Birther baiting is great sport.

Obama is a worm. Agreed.
But what does that have to do with eligibility? Especially, McCain's eligibility or that of any other progeny of United States Citizens living abroad?
For an arrested adolescent who has nothing productive to do with his time.
But what does that have to do with eligibility?
What does hiding documents have to do with 0bama's eligibility? Seriously? Coming from someone who infers that the Constitution is an "18th century ghost" I should have expected such stupidity.
Basically you're admitting that you have no productive purpose for posting here. That your intent is to disrupt. That explains why you hi-jacked this thread away from talking about Cong. LtC(r) West doesn't it?
The Obama campaign committee seemed to think he did, attempting twice in 2008, Obama/McCaskill’s Senate Bill 2678 to “Make Foreign Born Children of Military Citizens Eligible to Presidency”, Feb 2008 and Leahy/McCaskill Senate Res 511 in April 2008 to say, in effect, since a resolution is an opinion - not law, that “Because he has American citizen parents we believe he is a natural born Citizen.”
You, of course, are entitled to disagree with them, and to disagree with Chief Justice John Marshall, Chief Justice John Jay, Chief Justice Morrison Waite, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Justice Horace Gray, and 14th Amendment author John Bingham.
I do agree in principle that the case made by Larry Tribe and Ted Olson has a germ of truth, even though they misled readers about the only legal language which seemed to confer natural born citizenship on foreign born children of citizens, the 1790 Nationality Act. It was repealed in 1795 and the issue was never again addressed. It should be, but it hasn't.
McCain brought us Obama, since had he honored his oath to defend and protect the Constitution, he would have said something like “I wish I could be your president, but until the supreme court extends the interpretation cited a dozen or so times, I'm not a natural born citizen; but neither is Barack Obama, not born to “... parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty...” in the words of 14th Amendment author John Bingham. Its about allegiance of parents since the child is presumed to inherit that allegiance. McCain has the parents, but has a problem with sovereign soil.
We can pretend that our justices really meant something else, but words have meanings. No words make McCain eligible.
The thread-jacker was Spaulding. It was he who injected birferism with his slur on McCain in #26. Birferism must be bitch slapped upon appearance. It has no place in intelligent discourse.
Your mistake was to defend his position that McCain, who has suffered way more for his country than you or I, had Constitutional problems. That's where the thread jack took off.
LOL!
As for Colonel West, he has shown he's too smart for birferism! He knows how to deploy resources properly!
Bah! It's really simple. The sheeple brought us Obama because McCain was too old and tired and easy going to persuade them to elect him instead. It has nothing to do with the Constitutional qualifications of either candidate. And it's a waste of time to pursue the matter.
