“Simple answer to a pointless question—I’ve been to Panama City (the one in Panama). So what? Actually setting foot in Panama has nothing to do with the ability to understand the legal issues surrounding McCain’s eligibility. You know, the ones you avoid to make knee pad remarks with exclamation points because you’re so clueless.”
No, but it has everything to do with simple Geography which is not a strong hold of most Americans!
Colon/Cristobal, a city in the Republic of Panama, about 8-10 miles from the Canal Zone, which I probably have visit a half of dozen times for taking on board provision and bonded stores,loading/unloading cargo before transiting through the Panama Canal!!
In this city we did not see any Americans roaming around there. It was ALL Hispanics, and the City, IF and I emphasize that IF that was where McPain was born, then he is definitely NOT born on U.S. soil, but in a foreign country, and at that time probably also a Panamanian citizen!!!

Colón City
Colón, Panama. «koh LOHN» (2000 pop. 204,208), is the second largest city in Panama, at the Caribbean end of the Panama Canal. Colón was surrounded by, but not part of, the former Panama Canal Zone. Colón is an important port, commercial center, and tourist destination. It was made a free trade zone in 1953 and is the world’s second largest duty-free port.
The city was founded in 1850 by Americans working on the Panama railroad and was named Aspinwall after one of the builders of the railway until 1890. Colón is the Spanish form of Columbus; the name of the neighboring port of Cristsbal is Spanish for Christopher. After completion of the railway in 1855, Colón overshadowed the older Caribbean ports of Panama, and with the first plans for the isthmian canal it took on additional prestige. Built on a swampy island, the city was notoriously unhealthful and often scourged by yellow fever until Colonel William C. Gorgas, in charge of sanitation during the canal construction, gave it a new system of waterworks and sewerage and drained the surrounding swamps.
Three modern ports make Colón one of the most important ports of the Caribbean Sea.
Moot point, since he wasn't born there. And no, the pdf of a birth certificate proporting to show he was born there isn't real. It was a fake submitted into evidence by a guy suing get McCain disqualified from the ballot. The case was dismissed.
Amazing how so many bithers have fallen for such an easy to spot fake.
FYI, McCain was born on the Coco Solo naval base, which was definitely NOT on Panamanian soil.
