Does this mean we can get Mitt Romney back in there?

I know, I know, but I can hope can’t I?

Thanks for posting that NYT last gasp at credibility with their fans!

My morning paper had it clustered with with some wonderful pictures of the ‘naturally born’ Obama and a happytalk photo of Hillary - and two bashes at McCain included your article.

I am fascinated and offended at the bias we are expected to swallow... but many fall for it don’t they?

His father was in the military and assigned to the canal zone. He is a citizen.

That was my first thought. My second thought was, "There goes the Get Drunk and Vote For McCain movement."

I was just starting to get over my grief from Super Tuesday and was starting to get excited about the election again.

It’s important to note that this came from the NYSlimes ... other media outlets will pick this up and push it.. if correct we have a problem...

Why isn’t BHO being pressed to furnish a birth certificate now that the one posted has been acknowledged as a forgery by it’s creator?

Could we be heading to dual brokered conventions?

Gimme Thompson/Hunter!

*** a law professor at the University of Arizona has concluded that neither Mr. McCain’s birth in 1936 in the Panama Canal Zone nor the fact that his parents were American citizens is enough to satisfy the constitutional requirement that the president must be a “natural-born citizen.” ****

Yeah, yeah. And Barry Goldwater was unqualified because he was born in the territory of Arizona.

We will find out in November. I still am harboring delusions that Obama is more popular with the press than he is with the general electorate.

Mitt and Rudy may be the only guys who make McCain look good
by comparison. Mitt is a technocrat, not a conservative.
This doesn’t make him a bad person, nor did it make haim a bad governor, but we need, although we won’t get, someone who knows when to say “I know you have problems, but they are personal problems, and the Constitution says it is not our place to interfere in either yourtriumph or your tragedy!”.

Regardless of whatever straws they are grasping at, the Senate passed a resolution that acknowledged McCain as a natural born citizen.

Btw - where is BO's real birth certificate?

Just sent an email to the writer of this hit piece asking him to write a similar article about Obama - never happen, of course.....

I love your delusion - I’ll share in that and hope we are among the mad and rightous who care about this nation.

Cue picture of the smacking-self-on-forehead-guy “Awww geez, not this #### again”...

Meanwhile, while there may or may not be legal issues surrounding McCain’s eligibility- he, at least, has provided an actual paper birth certificate and documents regarding the hospital where he was born, etc.

Can one ask only one candidate to provide these items while giving the other a free pass?

Alternately- is the NYT’s getting ready to lower the boom on Obama’s questionable documentation of his birth?
