"The Republicans don’t have the guts to follow through with any of this stuff..."

I sometimes wonder if the GOP opposition to us "birther" nuts has more to do with Marco Rubio than with lord Obama.

Can anyone here correct me when I opine that Rubio's parents' status at the time of his birth put him in approximately the same non-natural born citizen category as is lord Obama?

Yup, which is why I expect him to be the VP nominee.

The powers that be are laughing at us. They aren't even trying to hide anything anymore.

I don’t think that is it. First of all, they are gutless wonders, and secondly, Marco Rubio was born in the U.S. There is some debate here on FR about the citizen status of parents at the time of birth, but I think most people outside of here believe that the birth requirement is that as long as you are born here in the U.S. you are a natural born citizen, and that includes members of Congress.

No, because Obama has never proven that he was even BORN in this country. That piece of paper that he calls his BC doesn’t prove that at all. Rubio at least has one leg up on him on that score.
