Oh, one more. The Democrats did NOT make a big deal out of McCain’s citizenship other than to assert that he was indeed a natural born citizen.

This is similar to what occured with George Romney back in 1968.

Regarding your other remark about “were you taught that two illegal...,” no, I wasn’t taught that explicitly. But I was taught that under nearly every circumstance, the law holds that people born in this country are citizens. I’m not aware of any strong case law indicating otherwise or that they are not also natural born.

You must be willfully ignorant. There were scores of Democrats making a very big deal about McCain's status as a Natural Born Citizen. I do not have time to go back and find links to news stories and columns for you right now, but the original "birthers" were Democrats going after McCain. McCain has been used as a tool by the left for many years; I have to give the Democrat leadership credit for utilizing him well especially when it comes to using him for cover for Obama's questionable status. It was masterful and I am certain that the backrooms have been filled with laughter on many occasions.

I appreciate your candor, but "I’m not aware of any strong case law indicating otherwise or that they are not also natural born." is a much different statement from your previous assertions about what you were taught in school.
