Trump Warns Cantor Not To Give Up Birther Fight: 'People Love This Issue'
TPM ^ | April 16, 2011 | Evan McMorris-Santoro

Posted on 04/16/2011 3:49:09 PM PDT by UniqueViews

"I don't think he is really serious when we see a campaign launch on the birther issue," Cantor said.

On Friday, Karl Rove told Fox News Trump is a "joke candidate" because of his birther-centric media cavalcade.

"It's amazing," Trump said. "He's so against me, because I am questioning. All I want to see is the guy's birth certificate."

Where is Mittens or tiny Tim or The Mayor of Lolly-pop Land Little Mitch on this or anything ? I love these establishment fools who think it's cute to go on TV bat their eyelids and tease the rubes. News Flash , no one cares . The longer these 2nd raters stay in hiding the smaller they look. Gee , maybe we will see a candidate that doesn't need Rove or the RNC.

We need to calibrate the BC issue carefully,there'sa lot of disinformation running around and Trump is wrong on a number of issues, e.g., "you can't use a COLB to get a drivers licens,e or a passport, or a marriage license."

Wrong and Dead Wrong.

I have gotten all three of the above on my COLB (says "Certificate of Life Birth" at the top), and so have my 4 kids. I never even knew there was a "long form" until last year, in fact, excepting a handful of internet posted images, I have never seen a "long form" birth certificate in my life.

Because a school document found in Indonesia in 2008, and the divorce records of Stanley Ann Soetoro in Hawaii, show that Lolo Soetoro adopted Barry as his son.

The original BC is sealed. The existing BC should be an adoption BC (Butterdezillion believes Obama amended it sometime before the election, 2008).

The school record lists Lolo Soetoro as Barry’s father; religion Muslim; citizenship Indonesian.

At the time Barry attended school in Indonesia, it was a dictatorship. Officials regularly went around to the schools to exam records and ensure only citizens attended public schools. (This information is from someone who lived in Indonesia at the time.) He could have dual citizenship until age 19.

Soebarkha “Barry” Soetoro (aka Barak H. Obama II) has an immigration file, one that is blocked on order of Obama himself, at Homeland Security.

Note: native born citizens do not have immigration records, period.

Something smells rotten.

Perot didn’t even run in the Republican primary. I think Trump will win some states in the Republican primary. But we will see.

If that's all we want to emphasize, we get bogged down in debate about the intent of the framers, and anyone who wants to ignore the eligibility issue can just choose not to care.

Agree 100% with that assessment. The NBC angle is a red herring, a distraction. And, in the end, either irrelevant or unproductive.

There are better lines of investigation.

save your keyboard the wear and tear. It seems pointless to even engage people here with alternative ideas. Not like the old days.

Better admit COD was the best candidate, All talking Heads are idiots, and do not disagree with anyone.

(I am supposed to point out my sarcasm here.)

“I have gotten all three of the above on my COLB (says “Certificate of Life Birth” at the top) I have never seen a “long form” birth certificate in my life.”
________________________________

You may be just parsing words.
I have never heard of a COLB, but WOULD have assumed it to be the true and original birth certificate, as issued in the hospital, or a certified copy thereof.
It may vary from state to state.

I am from Tennessee, and first obtained my birth certificate
copies for my passport, and a few years ago, for social security.
The second time, it was obtained by my daughter, as I was in Europe when applying.

Both times, it was a true copy of my hospital issued certificate, but superimposed on a 8x10 form with all the frilly edges, and with an attached seal of another color.

My original is also somewhat similar to a REAL Hawaiian birth certificate, as have been posted on various internet sites, but with more details about mother and father, including where they were and when born, and occupation.

I just pulled mine out.
The original is called a “Certificate of Live Birth”
At the bottom of the new form that it is copied onto,
it says “Certification of vital record”.

A constitutional requirement is not a red herring.

Being a Natural-Born Citizen is a constitutional requirement. But, exactly, what does that mean?

You have your opinion.

Others have their opinion.

And, so far, the courts have no opinion. And they ain't about to give one in the current circumstances.

Don't you think that, if having a father who was of another nationality, clearly disqualified one for the office of the President, somebody would've brought up the question prior to the election?

That the NBC angle is such a johnny-come-lately to the entire discussion suggests just how relevant it is.

It's a dead end.

[Obama] could have dual citizenship until age 19.

Precisely. so far as Indonesia was concerned, Obama could've been a full-fledged Indonesian citizen.

But that would cut no ice regarding his American citizenship. At the time, we didn't recognize dual citizenship and -- if he was born in the USA -- he was an Ammerican citizen. He couldn't lose his American citizenship by virtue of being adopted and declared an Indonesian citizen as a minor.

The only relevant issue in this dispute is where he was born.

Indeed, even if he used an Indonesian passport to gain admission and scholarship funds from Occidental, I doubt that would negate his American citizenship.

It would constitute criminal fraud, however.

You totally miss the point !!!!
The true birth certificate IS THE KEY to the eligibility issue.
It obviously has information that would disqualify him.

I doubt that the Obama handlers had any thought at all
that some clever people would question the COLB and notice the flaws.
