No, he would love the birther issue.
RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
The leftists love it when birthers are pretty much one issue people and when they focus on only one constitutional issue and put down other people helping enforce the Constitution on other issues.
RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. Who do you think is pushing the ridicule? The leftists. And birthers are bringing it on themselves, and actually encouraging ridicule. Alinsky approves
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
