Never be surprised at Willard’s limitless capacity to cave. He’s always been a quisling. except when it comes to savaging conservatives.
Agree. He might be being McCain like and that would annoy.
If not, this is his only tactic.
Well what did anyone expect? Romney knows that birthers won’t vote for him so why should he defend them?
“But the American People do see it as an issue !”
No. They don’t. If they did we wouldn’t see this argument four years after 2008.
You have it exactly right. Personally avoiding the birther issue is much like Romney’s agreeing to recognize Keynesian economics as being the current administration model. He didn’t adopt it, he just acknowledged Keynesians and where they have put us in terms of short term, available solutions.
Most of us would like an absolute hard line, but as we have seen with Obama’s political success, what you say and what you do don’t necessarily have any connection and most people are too stupid to see the difference. Hopefully, Romney will have an opportunity for the doing and not disappoint us.
Why spend the limited time we have before the elections in November on that? We should put our money and efforts into getting conservative ideas out there in the arena of ideas and convince the 'undecideds' that we have the solutions that actually WORK! We have actual DATA to show that our ideas work for the betterment of ALL citizens, as opposed to those of liberals.
We need to concentrate on electing conservative Republicans to Congress, because it is THEY who write the laws and dispense tax dollars. But it is also important that we elect Romney, who while he may not be as conservative as we like, will be MUCH more likely than Obama, to actually sign the legislation into law.
No. They don’t. If they did we wouldn’t see this argument four years after 2008.
It is real clear that the Republican Party
FAILED in it's opposition research.
Typical quisling, GOPe, elitist drone. It's never been about Obama's birthplace, but I suppose you can't expect those fellow travelers to understand that.
These party apparatchiks don't understand the Framers' original intent with the NBC clause, nor to they care to know. They, and their frat brothers in the DNC, all agree that the Constitution is a musty, outdated relic of ancient history.
To hell with all of them.
I disagree strongly.
Willard indirectly endorsed Trump's “birtherism” when he embraced not only Trump's endorsement but in promoting Trump as a surrogate, i.e. a man whose opinion he values and whom he is asking others to respect.
Willard's strategy is tactically brilliant and cynical, which is to distance himself personally from Trump's “birtherism” while endorsing Trump as a wise and valued counsel.
Willard is only saying his campaign is not going to directly pursue Barry's ineligibility, but Willard has not denounced Trump's past and recent statements on the merits.
This is driving Barry, Axelrod and Jarrett crazy as all of their surrogates are falling all over themselves to try to get Willard to denounce Trump's statement, but he hasn't, yet!
Yes, because we unknown and faceless citizens have so much clout in the press. /sarc
Further proof they’re all one party.
It’s interesting how both parties keep the deception going that the ‘issue’ is birth place and therefore a non issue. The real issue is, and always has been, is he NBC. Neither party has the guts to take the issue on so they deflect it into something easy to classify as a non issue.
Bingo! Romney may be the first GOP candidate in a while who has figured out how to use surrogates.
There's no gain for Romney to take a position in the "birther" controversy. Nobody has yet developed any proof that Obama might be in eligible. All is speculation, so the default position is that he is eligible.
Let Trump pursue that line of attack. See if he can generate some proof. If he can, well and good. If he can't, no harm done.
In any event, Romney is going to have to beat Obama at the polls -- not in the courts.
Yep, and thanks for the reminder that he’s a liar, too, LOL.
stupid issue for Romney if he can’t prove it..
LLS
Romney better grow a pair of b@11$ or he’s toast.
It is time for the RNC to DUMP Romney!
“I’ll bet that he is Frank Marshall Davis’ illegitimate son.”
I have often wondered if that is not the evidence that those in the know have access to. To open that can of worms would be too much for them to bear. BHO would then have the “blood of slaves” in his genes and everyone would then be a racist who did not vote for him. BHO’s mother was “very close” to the communist, Davis though.
