ALSO: My colleague Kendra Marr reports that WorldNetDaily's birth certificate aficionado Joseph Farah has been on the phone with Donald Trump every day this week.
Farah has advised Trump to simply ask, "Where is the birth certificate?" The Donald's recent claim that Obamas grandma in Kenya is on record saying he was born in Kenya is just troublesome, Farah said.
"When you start making assertions and grandma said, you start getting yourself in a bind," Farah said. "I'm not sure that's what grandma said. Thats fuzzy."

I'm not voting for a RINO ever again. And before you blame me for 4 more years of Obama, realize that the GOP pushing RINOs is because they're counting on YOU to ultimate pick the lesser of two evils.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
And every time a RINO is elected, conservatism takes two steps backward.
And I'm not supporting it.
Perot II.
Have you noticed that neither The Donald nor Sarah Palin has said anything nasty about the other and, in fact, have said supportive things of each other? He seems the only one unaffected by her ‘political radioactivity.’ Each alone, much less combined, has more spine than all the other potential candidates, the GOP establishment, GOP members of the Senate and House put together, so far as I’ve seen.
Exactly, if anything Trump will help Palin, assuming he’s not the nominee, I don’t think Trump will say anything bad about her. We shall see.
“And before you blame me for 4 more years of Obama,”
I don’t want to blame you for anything. In fact, I would totally agree with what you said if it was anyone else. But when I look at the sheer hell this piece of garbage has unleashed on the world in just 2 years, I’d ‘wear the hair’ if that meant an end to it.
My personal preference is Palin and I intend to do everything I can to help get her elected. But in an either/or scenario, Obama cannot be reelected. Period.
Oh I completely get it. And I would be severely tempted. But conservatism has already been kicked to the back room by the GOP. Short of a third party, if we don’t take a stand now, we can kiss the future of conservatism goodbye in American politics. Even now, we hear some like Mitch Daniels pleading that we not talk about social issues.
I’m in your camp.
In my fantasy there’ be a Palin/Trump or Trump/Palin ticket in ‘12. Don’t care which way that’d go. They each have distinct pro’s and con’s that just happen to complement each other. It’s 99% not gonna happen, but fun to think about. And we don’t vote till at least next Feb, so I’m enjoying the whole scene.
Some people seem incapable of keeping their powder dry.
LOL
“Short of a third party,”
IMO That’s ultimately where all of this is going. The GOP isn’t going to nominate Palin or Trump. One “went rogue’ and the other can’t be bought. The GOP is a write off as a conservative party with some good people still hanging in there. Conservatives and those even leaning that way are going to have to go it alone.
When you add up all the GOP defectors/Tea party types (which I am among) the GOP is a minority party, or soon will be at the rate they are shedding supporters.
Back to point - The sad truth is that Trump is far more a conservative than all but a couple of the current “GOP” offerings. And I say that being very aware of his Dem/loyalties/statements/donations. There is Palin/Bachmann/West/Cain and that’s about it for real conservatives. The rest aren’t IMO, worth mentioning.
First trump would have to get through that, and if he could, that would prove (to me at least) he could win.
Again. Not my choice, but better IMO than 4 more of increasing exponentially by the day Communism.
I think of it as conserving a way of life from Stalin II.
I am with you on that.
Now I dont know who will be the nominee for the GOP, but, I would carry my BC and if there was a debate with the ONE, the first friggan thing I would do in the beginning of that debate would be to haul out my BC and show it to everyone in the place. Dont say a word, just bring it out and show it. Set the mental midget right back on his heels.
Ya know..I look at it this way. I dont think Palin will run, and if she does the establishment will not back her-they didnt the last election. I know for a fact they will not back Trump. So lets say someone like Romney gets it-or the Huckster. What would happen if Trump and Palin got together and ran indy? Right now, they are basically saying the same thing.
Its way to early yet and I can dream cant I?
Oh, if only we had such spine. God I’d love to see that.
Well if was trump, as I said, “Id wear the hair” and I already have the lipstick and heels since I support Palin...
MY GOD I’M A CROSSDRESSER!!! ;)
Seriously, I think that ticket would out-landslide Reagan’s win. Still rather not have Trump, but I think it would be an unstoppable combo.
Love it!
Funny thing, let’s say The Donald actually runs, Sarah doesn’t, and he wins the nomination. He’d be the only one who’d have the guts to ask her to run with him. The others treat her like the crazy aunt you keep in the attic. I don’t know that he WOULD ask her, but you can bet your bottom dollar that none of the others would even consider it.
I’m into ‘manly virtue’ these days, and that’s something both Trump and Palin are well endowed with.
Well if you can find a Ronald Reagan, send him our way. I fear Sarah and Michelle don’t stand a chance and I will take a Trump over an Obama any day.
Perhaps if West runs we might have a chance. Yes a conservative matters, but if our match up is Trump over Obama- I will vote Trump. And truthfully I have never, ever liked the guy, but I believe in much of what he says about loving our country and pulling monies away from Pakistan, the Saudis, etc. Also, countries we defend, like So. Korea should be paying us, we are broke.
Thank you-my point also, Trump is better than what we got, and with a Repub Senate and House maybe we can get conservative issues passed.
My whole basis pretty much comes down to this.
I BELIEVE in conservative ideals. I am Pro life/military/freedom and all the things that made America great. I’d love a return to the Leave to to Beaver/Father knows Best style Americana with all the modern technology. Baseball, hot dogs, Apple Pie and Ford (not a Chevy fan) God and Country.
But reality is a harsh mistress and about 40% of my countrymen and women want a return to 1960’s radical hippie liberalism without all the ‘”Evil God and Country” stuff.
My delima? Do I hold 100% to principal, refuse a Trump possibility and reenter the 60s or Vote for Trump (if he is the choice) and make it to about 1955.
As I said, I’ll wear the hair because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
