“The Democrats opened the debate with a question about John McCain’s right to be President since he was born in/near the Canal Zone”
Let them be idiots, not us. I have no desire to join in their diversion, and the lets-be-lemmings argument is weak at best. This is not about ‘fairness’. If you want to be as UNFAIR as possible, focus laser-like on those things that will get Obama defeated. This aint it.
“BTW, a clear understanding of the hurdles Obama has faced to make him what he is today requires that we examine the nether reaches of his mother’s lifestyle choices.”
You are better off focusing on the CANDIDATE. Every minute spent on this, is a minute LESS spent on Rezko, Ayers, his 130 present votes, his tax hike, his 20 years in front of Rev Wright, his endorsements by far-left parties, his fatally wrong views on immigration, his extremism on abortion and gay marriage, his failure to hold a single hearing on afghanistan when chairing that subcommittee, his naive treatment of Iran, his $800 billion in spending pandering promises, his opposition to drilling, etc.
On the other hand, most Democrat politicians had parents who were firm believers in abortion for other people's kids. Obama's momma appears to have not had firm beliefs in that regard. I'd kind of like to keep his own situation with regard to his mother's lifestyle choices out there front and center since it's such an afront to core Democrat beliefs (or "hates").
Think about it, Obama's momma didn't abort him so why does he want to abort other women's babies? Certainly a campaign quickie can be worked up around that concept.
One thing you left off your list is the fact that Obama’s official web site has posted a forgery and certified it as real. Whatever the reason for this its still fraud. Why shouldn’t we pursue him for this demonstrable crime which is occurring now and can be laid directly at Obama’s door, as well as wonder what it is he has to hide that would drive him to take such risks to keep out of the public eye.
It is only the compliance and bias of the press which has, so far, prevented this from blowing up into the major scandal it should, and still might, be.
