Riiiiiight. The eligibility of John McCain, born to his mother (a U.S. natural born citizen) while his father (a U.S. natural born citizen) was serving in the U.S. military, was in doubt. Riiiiight.

You may not realize it... but that's the stance that some of the birthers (here on Free Republic) take on John McCain, that he was not qualified per the Constitution, just like Obama was not qualified per the Constitution.
I've had FReepers tell me that they refused to vote for John McCain because he was not qualified per the Constitution.
That's not my stance, as I did vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin ... :-)
I'm just letting you know that you've got a good number of Freepers here who say it also pertains to John McCain, so it's just not some nutty liberal group who may think so ...
McCain’s eligibility is not now & has never been the issue.
The issue is the Kenyan.
Star Traveler has a number of fellow travelers who show up in force if a thread gets legs - there are dozens and dozens of examples of it on this site. This happens because Obama and his handlers really don’t want the birth certificate issue to go mainstream. It’s a gotcha item and they know it.
Now, to correcting the information about John McCain and eligibility. The president must be a natural born citizen.
A natural born citizen is easy to define:
1. Both parents have to be American citizens.
2. Must be born on U.S. soil.
John McCain meets the #1 requirement but not #2. McCain was born in a hospital in Colon, Panama. Panama was not U.S. territory and the hospital was NOT on a U.S. military base. Seems unfair, but it is the truth.
The fact that both McCain and Obama were ineligible to hold office is thought by many to be something other than a coincidence.
It gets very tiresome having to go over the same ground because trolls like Star Traveler provide devious falsehoods so I’m not going to provide a collection of links to you nor any backup for what is stated above. However, if you are interested in having links and backup for everything I have stated here, please respond and I will send you that information via FReepmail.
Alternatively, most of what I have said can be verified by reading this recent thread:
