This is how the two major parties protect their turf. 3rd party candidates are routinely prevented from getting on ballots for any reason the powers that be can find.

Think of it as an agreement between Al Capone and the Purple gang. You stay off my turf and I’ll make sure you know if anyone starts to infringe on yours.

“It’s been stated by the governor (of Hawaii), Linda Lingle, who I spoke with directly, that he was born in Hawaii,’’ she said.”

Obama stated he would close Gitmo and get out of Afghanistan too.

It's a hint. She needs reminded, I suppose.

Let's encourage her to do right!

Contacted the Gov on her website asking her to sign the bill...if you are in Arizona, here is the website:

47% of Americans support Obama. 40% do not pay income taxes. That 40% is a given the other 7% are blacks with Government jobs, and Homosexuals.

Jan, if you don’t want to sign it, let it become law without your signature. Wonder if the Holder DOJ gave her a call. Barry has given we citizens of Arizona the finger so many times, I say sign it, if not just to irritate the man.

Who - or what - got to her??

I pretty sure she supported McCain in the senatorial race. I think they campaigned together some. She just might not be what some assumed based on her support of the one immigration law.

The GOP has gotten to all of them. I was called silly for thinking the GOP plans to put someone on their own ticket who is also ineligible, to get the Hispanic vote.

Gee, wonder who?

She’d be shooting herself in the foot to veto. Not only would the left not suddenly be alright with her and with Arizona, but they’d think she was spineless. And that’s not even getting into what I’d think of her, or people on the right. It’s not specific to the current office holder anyway - it’s to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again, 2012 or at any other time.

The Constitution empowers state legislatures to prescribe the selection of electors. That would seem to be clear and give them the power to set out what qualifications the electors can examine. It is not like the Hopfmann case where "progressive" judges in league with Obama, as they were with Kennedy in that case, to override the legislatures on some phoney "freedom of association" argument.

Governor Brewer can do the PC thing and let it become law without her signature.

I don’t think President Biden will oppose the Arizona law.

That’s a very disappointing statement from the governor.

“It’s been stated by the governor (of Hawaii), Linda Lingle, who I spoke with directly, that he was born in Hawaii,’’ she said.”

Yeah, Jan, and Brenda Bingle, mayor of Hula Hula, Hawaii, told me JugEars was hatched from a conch shell. And so I guess that’s dispositive of the issue, isn’t it?

Is there a mass hypnosis out there lulling these people into believing Oblunder must be a natural born citizen because someone, somewhere, said it’s so without proving it?

I think the stupidity excuse of the GOP is a ruse, they are complicit in the execution of a crime in order to further their addenda against the American people. Vote them all out, especially Boehner as he is willfully perpetrating this fraud of a party.

Let's not forget about Soros' Secretary of State Project. She's right that it does place a lot of power in the hands of a single individual. We saw how well that worked out with the Franken election.

Perhaps not a bad idea to slow down, take a breath and sort all this out before making a decision.

If the GOP can’t prove that they are any better than Obama then they will lose.

So far, we lose all the time. The AZ immigration bill=lose, the budget=lose etc, you name it, we lose.

The GOP is proving they have no will or desire to stop Obama. I can only see that they are complicit.
