No Trivial Matter
I consider Ex-Intern as a special enough contributor, I'm writing this one just for him!
I started to respond to his last response, then decided I didn't want it buried amongst the others. This one's gonna get its own blog.
No, Ex, you HAVEN'T seen any evidence of any Kenyan documents, because they haven't been allowed to RELEASE anything! I think there's a REASON for that!
And it doesn't matter if "more people think he's the guy to lead this country"........in the mid-30's, Adolph Hitler, through HIS charisma and ability to speak and motivate, was ALSO thought to be the one to lead. Hitler was in fact NOT a German himself, but an Austrian. And we KNOW what followed, don't we?
Our Constitution (that worthless old parchment of paper that doesn't seem to mean much anymore)........is VERY concise on this. You've GOT to be 35+...and you've GOT to be a U.S. born citizen.
Yes, practically all of us have seen that copy of the Hawaiian birth certicate, but many claim it a forgery.
That DOESN'T mean it IS. Personally, I can't tell a forgery from the real thing. If he's Hawaiian born, fine. He got elected and we're stuck with him and Biden, God help us.
But Ex-Intern..........your boy slammed the door on that Kenyan hospital thing, the way a drug dealer would stash his "stash" when the cops arrived.
Even YOU, Mike.........don't even YOU find that just a wee bit odd? You know if it was ME...........and I had nothing to hide, I'd just snicker a little, sign the release consent and tell them to "Go for it!"
And why not...........there's nothing there to find, is there?......or IS there? I also understand he's hired three law firms to defend himself on this Kenyan matter. Makes you want to say "Hmmmmmmmm....." doesn't it?
Remember that WHOEVER the President is, will always be under a microscope. Your life is not your own during your term, and you either take the heat or get out of the kitchen. Obama, however you might feel about him, needs to come clean about this...........and if there's nothing to it, why sweat some horpital in Kenya?
You Dems cried about having the White House "stolen" from you during the "hanging chads" episode in Bush/Gore, yet through your lawyers, you got thousands of overseas absentee ballots disinfranchised, because "they'd be a few days late getting stateside." BULL-manure!
Your side KNOWS that active dury military folks PREDOMINATELY vote Republican, because of the screwing theyve always gotten when the dems have been in power. (From LBJ--forward).
2000 was going to be VERY close and both sides knew it. It was VITAL that the overseas military votes NOT get counted. It was DISGRACEFUL, Ex,.......they VERY PEOPLE who PROTECT your rights and way of life...........and all those votes got tossed aside..........and not because of US!
2008............not only has the media been on your side...........but those of you who got "robbed" in 2000, were "innocently silent" as ACORN was gathering up every illegal registration they could....amd we never heard anything from YOUR side even after we all saw on LIVE television, members of the Black Panther Party outside the poles trying to intimidate white voters from entering the poles. You don't see even the DIRTIEST of Repubs doing something like that.........I guess that's "different" though, eh?
OUR side doesn't NEED to appeal to ILLEGALS. And it hasn't been OUR side that objects to "Proper voter I.D." Why is that a hard issue with the left?
Oh yeah, the Dems are always having things "stolen" from them.
Nothing against you personally, Mike, I believe you're ok............I really do. But your PARTY has a HISTORY of election fraud that does NOT warrant just "taking Barack's word for anything." His hard and fast roadblock of that hospital in Kenya does NOT help his argument, either.
If he's ok....all well and good. But this isn't for a city council position. Given the integrity and sheer magnitude of the office he's been elected to, if there's a legitimate question about his QUALIFICATION to even RUN for the office, it needs to be put to rest. This is NOT some trivial "sore loser" issue.
Additionally........Ex-Intern (and please feel free to check THIS out).....you MUST be an Indonesian citizen to go to SCHOOL there!) So, how did he do THAT? And if he actually WAS an American citizen at the time, would he have NOT had to have it RENOUNCED first?
Please explain to this paranoid old right-winger how that works, so I too may know.
You know....the Republican Party I originally joined 35+ years a go, is a vile piece of crap today by comparison, but even at THAT, we're not quite in the same league with the left. We still have a small conservative base that DOES have scruples. Most "Independent" votes come from this group, because most Independent candidates stand better than a lot of our GOP general membership does on the issues.
You guys will never understand that, because you put party over country. Always.
But Ex-Intern............it all goes with the job. Whether we're talking about Slick Willie & Monica, Nixon & Watergate or Obama & Kenya, the President is scrutinized at a higher level than anyone else..............and he SHOULD be. He has the highest level job. He wanted it. And when he gets it, he gets ALL of it. He gets the dog food along with the steak. If there is a skeleton somewhere in his closet, as there ARE with MOST of us...he should have thought about that before he ever ran.
The White House is the biggest one in America. The most powerful seat, and as "Tricky Dick" and "Slick Willie' can tell you...............you can't "pass gas" without SOMEONE hearing it. If you're gonna do it, you have to do it better and cleaner than anyone else, because EVERYBODY's watching you!
This needs to be cleared up. This is a CONSTITUTIONAL concern, and definitely NOT the trivial matter you guys like to dismiss it as.
