questionmark Posted October 26, 2008 #252 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So what if he was born in Kenya? He's still a US citizen by virtue of his mother ...then again, if I remember correctly there's some stipulation that a president must be borin in the US proper....anyone? natural born citizen is the definition...see above we discussed it ad nauseam and I won't mind not hearing about it for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may actually act to hurt America in favor of other loyalties to that politician. Would you want someone from Lebanon or Germany being the President and Prime Ministers of your country? Well if you’re hearing in Portugal that McCain is the next Bush than that means that the Obama smear is working globally. And McCain has yet to make any of his smears stick to Obama.

Jon Blackstar Posted October 26, 2008 #254 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It seems to me that there are some people in this world that will grasp onto anything to support their ideas.Even when faced with overwhelming evidence they still deny the existence of something.History is filled with these kind of people and their beliefs.And to AROCES , an official birth certificate has been produced in this thread several times, if you think that it is a fake then the burden of proof is then on you to prove otherwise, just as it would be in a court of law.

HKCavalier Posted October 26, 2008 #261 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The thing that gets me is how willing the Right are to be manipulated like this. All these sudden faux crises in the last few weeks: ACORN, Ayers, socialism, citizenship tossed out by a manifestly desperate campaign to distract and hornswoggle as many of the gullible as they can--and, my lordy, how it works! Since Palin's desasterous nomination I've been continually wondering: What lie won't they swallow? What paper-thin justification won't they be parroting ad nauseum the next day? If any of these disingenuous attacks had a shred of validity, the McCain campaign WOULD NOT HAVE WAITED TILL THE LAST MONTH OF THE ELECTION to say anything about them. McCain wouldn't have waited until the last of the three debates to merely mention them. If any of it were remotely true, Hillary would have destroyed Obama with them last year. Obama would be a footnote in Presidential history. But it's b.s. and as Palin herself said, the campaign has nothing to lose (except of course, dignity, credibility and any vestige of decency), so they're throwing whatever they can get their hands on at Obama and hoping the uninformed and the malicious will turn the election around for them. And thank our lucky stars, thank rationality and the power of democracy, it doesn't seem to be making the crucial difference that they need. Reality, one; McCain/Palin, zero.

As far as Ayers, socialism, & citizenship these didn't just pop up they've been around off and on since the summer. McCain’s failure to make them real issues along with Rev Wright will haunt him for sure. I'm not even going to try to defend Palin even if I had the desire to do so. What should be talked about is how Biden adlibs and stretches the truth like Gore use to do when he does adlib. Everyone slams Palin but gives Biden a free pass. Biden actually withdrew back in 87 from the presidential race because he plagiarized a British politician. And it's quite well known that he stretches or even mangles the truth. But Biden has escaped scrutiny threw this last 2 months. And remember most of everything that McCain has brought up was brought by Clinton and Biden during the race for the Democratic Nomination.

Jon Blackstar Posted October 26, 2008 #265 Share Posted October 26, 2008 How about Paylin and the Alaska Independence Party.She made a video this year for their annual convention.IMO that is no different than making a video for the KKK or any other hate mongering organization.

Paris Hilton is more American, much prettier, and, I suspect, has a much higher IQ. I'm up for a laugh at Sarah Palin as much as anyone but that is going WAY to far. I'd rather have a romantic night with a piece of moss than Paris Hilton, I'd probably have a better conversation with it as well. I'll only consider Paris Hilton American when she learns how to spell it. No AMEN from me Blackstar, for this I'm strictly atheist.
