Democrats may be upset with all the questions about President Barack Obama’s birthplace, but some are starting to use the issue to their advantage.

The Democratic Governors Association has sent a fundraising letter asking donors to give money to help stop bills requiring birth certificates for presidential candidates being considered in various red states,

Sounds good. The more they throw away money at lost causes, the less they will have to do something really constructive with it.

Heck, if they need $10 dollars to pay Hawaii to release the BC, I will give it to them on the condition that the fraudulent bum has signed the release request and that he actually has one.

Why fight this if there is nothing wrong?

Also sounds like they’re worried about it. I mean if your candidate is legit, how could this possibly be a fundraiser?
How do you even approach the subject with your donors?

Mr. & Mrs. Democrat supporter, Please help us keep a Non-Citizen in the White House?
Isn’t most dems assertion that he has a LFBC, but he’s already proved his citizenship. Why should they care if he has to do it again?
I’d have to ask the fundraiser, “Who are you guy’s planning on running, a Somali Warlord?”

Don’t have bills to check the credentials of prospective candidates. Don’t have voter ID laws. It seems to me that Democrats like it when it is easier to commit fraud.

Democrats used the very question of ""natural born citizen" against the 1916 Republican nominee, Charles Evans Hughes. His father was a British subject. He lost to Woodrow Wilson so it became a moot point.

Breckenridge Long, later FDR's Secretary of State, wrote a lengthy legal piece questioning whether Hughes was a "natural born citizen." It appeared in “Chicago Legal News,” Vol. 146, p. 220 in 1916. The article text can be found online.

Who doesn't think a Hughes victory would've lead to challenge by Democrats on NBC grounds?

We need eligibility bills made law to put an end to this game playing. It's not about Obama. These questions have come before. They'll come again.

The Dems are absolutely not unhappy with the “birther” issue. They are using it to make conservatives out to be kooks. Soon you will have mid level operatives on TV saying that the “birthers” are like “truthers”, but the difference is “trutherism” was never promoted by mainstream Dem candidates, like it is with Trump. This is a lose/lose issue.

Even if they raise a little money, there will still be the few sane democrats that will look at the letter and wonder why in the world it would be wrong to have to show your birth certificate. They’re sowing the seeds of doubt about Barry within their own ranks, obviously to stupid to realize it.

"...asking donors to give money to help stop bills requiring birth certificates for presidential candidates being considered in various red states,"

Based on that, one can safely assume that obama does NOT have a birth certificate.

Else, it wouldn't matter...

SIMPLE QUESTION

The Dems are in panic mode over Corsi’s upcoming book. They don’t know what’s in it, but the fact that it shot to Number One—pre-release—scares the stuffing out of them. They are in damage control mode, but it’s too late. Ordinary, common sense Americans don’t want to throw $ away to shield Obama from the BC issue. They just want him to release/show it so they can have a look.

ERxactly: How can anyone possibly be upset that a candidate for the Presidency has to show a Birth Certificate.

Only when they know their boy hasn’t got one. And Yes, they are Birthers too ,only they know he wasn’t born here.

They are co-conspirators.

OH Tee Hee!

Can you imagine the Dem Spiel:

We need your contribution to stop these Birther Bills or President Obama could be forced to cough up not only his long form but maybe even $500 to pay $10 each for 50 of them!!!

Send what you can, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 or more!!! All persons contributing $10,000 or more get a free copy of Dreams of My Father!!!

Nice. Come back with an insult. Real classy, LP.

Okay, let’s put it to the test. Here are a couple of poll questions.

1: Would you, as a voter, like to contribute $ to help Obama keep his BC hidden, or would you prefer he release it and put the matter behind us?

[And don’t say he’s already released it. Trump blew the lid off that uber moonbat lefty talking point.]

2 Do you think taxpayer funded lawyers should continue to fight efforts to release Obama’s BC, or should the president step forward, release it in the interest of national unity, and move on?

Who’s *really* winning this issue?

If you say the Dems, you’re whistling past the graveyard.

Every minute that the Dems are not talking about a tanking economy and lost way in the Middle East, they are winning. Conservatives have to focus like a laser beam on the deficit, economy, and lack of coherent foreign policy.

The “birther” non-issue is a foolish diversion that they are happy to keep alive. “Birthers” keep asking why he just doesn’t release documents and get it behind him. Because they like you doing exactly what you’re doing.

Actually the BC goes to the heart of Obama’s integrity and fundamental decency as a human being. If he were an honest, upright man—with even a smidgen of the ‘transparency’ he touts—he’d have released it long ago. The fact that he refused to do so mostly hurt him among politically active conservatives and independents...until recently.

Then Trump started beating him like a cheap drum, and people woke up to the issue. When even the audience of The View—moonbat lefties programmed to applaud every time ‘Whoopie’ draws breath, much less speaks—back Trump over the black woman, the Dems are in trouble.

Go on telling yourself it’s a losing issue. Meanwhile, Obama’s poll numbers are tanking, and every time a survey is taken, fewer and fewer voters believe he is legitimate.

Yeah, right; it’s really helping the Dems. No, really, it IS. It’s just that all the evidence indicates otherwise.

Exactly! Help preserve evident fraud is a real winner.
