    Again, you haven't proven there was a lie, and common sense and logic would lead to it not being a lie.

    Also even if some how you did prove that he lied, there is zero proof from you that it happened at either Columbia or Harvard. Geez

    Bringing Obama down is doing a good thing for the country. Then a new administration can start solving the nation's problems rather than dithering over them.

    I admit your off-the-wall question perplexes me. I can't find the logic in it.

    Didn't want to start new thread for this and don't mean to hijack this one so don't feel a need to reply, but

    This forum has been spammed out of being interesting anymore between the silly threads by bigtexxx, basso, and (worst) hightop. Is hightop Mister Meowgi? If not his bitterness strikes an uncanny resemblance.

    I can't even bother to open a thread here anymore and when I do I can't bother to read it. It has finally become a genuine waste of time and a boring one. I would love it if thoughtful conservatives would post more here and start more threads (weslinder please) but these freaks starting all the threads lately are like those tabloids about The Amazing Bat-Boy or whatever. They make thumbs look like a sane person by comparison and I think we all know he has slipped quite irretrievably into dementia. I can't even believe anyone is still replying to them.

    I'm sure he's alluding to this gem of a post.

    For the most part I agree, but seeing basso reveal himself as a birther with their exact same lack of logic, and far fetched conspiracy theory/and time travel concocted ideas has been absolutely hilarious in this thread. For the precise reason that before now he's tried to present himself as some sophisticated refined political aficionado. It makes it all the more entertaining to see what his team loyalty above country loyalty philosophy has rendered him.

    It's been fascinating and quite amusing. Kojiro(sp?) made a great post in this very thread. He's a Republican and I believe he said he will most likely vote for Romney, but his insight along with weslinder's are always valued, because unlike those you mentioned they are serious minded but have different philosophies on the issues than I do. I just wish they'd post more.

    I don't think you saw the intent of the OP and the thread title.

    hum...

    any possibility of conflict of interest?

    Mr Romney? Care to answer the question?

    Mr Bennett should be removed from office.

    Before anyone asks, I don't think Romney is an actual Unicorn. At least I hope not.


    Is Mitt Romney A Unicorn?


    In case there was any doubt about it before: The man in charge of running Arizona’s elections has no plans to investigate Mitt Romney’s birth certificate the way he’s been looking into President Obama’s.

    “No, we haven’t contacted Michigan,” a spokesman for Secretary of State Ken Bennett told TPM in an email on Tuesday. “I don’t know if Michigan has the same statute that Hawaii has.”

    Since he first revealed his conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into Obama’s birth certificate and threatened last week to keep the president off the state’s ballot, Bennett and his staff have been ducking for political cover behind the people they say really started it: the 1,200 constituents who sent angry emails begging him to take up their cause.

    It was only because of them, Bennett said, that he began to look into the birth certificate issue in the first place. His spokesman, Matt Roberts, told TPM “with complete and utter honesty” it has nothing to do with Bennett’s affiliation as a Republican or his role as Romney’s Arizona campaign co-chair.

    But those excuses apparently didn’t sit well with the legions of the president’s supporters and others convinced by clear evidence that Obama really is a natural born citizen of the United States and therefore eligible to serve as president.

    “The reaction has been largely negative since the story broke,” Roberts said. It “balanced out the thousands of people who advocated for Mr. Bennett to keep (Obama) off the ballot in the first place.”

    Balanced is one term for it. Tipped the scales might be another. At least one progressive online network, Left Action, took up the cause this week under the theory that if 1,200 emails can convince Bennett to investigate one conspiracy theory, maybe they can cobble together enough support to get him to investigate anything.

    As of Tuesday afternoon some 15,000 people and counting had already put their names on Left Action’s online petition asking Bennett to investigate whether Mitt Romney is really a unicorn. (Yes, a unicorn. The petition even has its own domain name: MittRomneyIsAUnicorn.com.) That’s more than 10 times the number of people who asked Bennett to investigate the president in the first place.

    While Roberts said he hadn’t seen the unicorn petition, he’s heard about it through a litany of nasty emails in recent days.

    Lol @ this thread.

    First ppl who insist Obama is Kenyan. har har

    Second, Rachel Maddow r****ds who go on a crusade against the first group of people. trololol.

    you guys realize Obama is a natural born citizen even if he were to have been born in Africa? because his mother was a citizen?

    according to our articles of Constitution and its amendments there are only TWO CATEGORIES of US citizenship: natural born citizens and naturalized citizens. if you're a citizen you are either A or B. there is no C. the only reason "natural born citizen" is mentioned for President is the specific fear that in a time contemporary to the Founding Fathers some foreign agent would come and take over the US while it was still in its nascent state. what they wanted were people who were citizens and their descendants to be eligible to lead the country.

    from a historical and legal perspective, other than the fact that the first naturalization act specifically says children born overseas are natural citizens, there's no basis for any prejudice or concerns the Founding Fathers had about geography of one's birth, only lineage and heritage (including race). some of the Founding Fathers themselves (men who signed the Declaration or ratified the Constitution) were born OUTSIDE THE COLONIES. including foreign countries. even the idea that Natural Born citizen would have some geographical bias is stupid.


    this thread sums up the hardcore on both sides of the aisle. arguing ad nauseam about about some small point that doesn't even matter and ignoring the **** that actually matters.

    It's actually not that interesting or entertaining. That passionate diatribe makes you look like more of a dick than he is. Liberals are about logical as conservatives. Moderates on both sides are reasonably logical. Radicals and tryhards on both are dumb as ****.

    The fact that people are still crying about this 4 years later is painful. It's such a black eye on the Republican party.

    History will remember this as one of the Republican parties darkest times.

    Gay Marriage, Sarah Palin, George Bush and his idiotic tax cuts & wars which created the deficit, the Tea Party, the Birthers - it's incredible the level of stupidity of these people on the extreme right. I use to think that the extreme left & right was utterly stupid. Now I think the extreme left is just ignorant, and the extreme right is both ignorant and disturbed.

    History is not going to be kind on these folks. It will be kind on Obama. Who took arguably a Great Depression type situation and got us to positive GDP growth in just a few years. That's pretty amazing actually. He has dealt with one of the most hostile opposition parties on record. I thought Clinton had it bad. George Bush will be remembered as the Hoover of our times. And if Mitt Romney gets elected and actually implements his tax cuts and spending cuts to the poor/middle class - we'll see an economic collapse that will make the "Great Recession" seem like the good ole times.

    But when people say Obama failed...I just find that so hilarious. We're talking about the successor to Bush here, not John F. Kennedy.
