There's a HUGE difference between:
1) "That document has the look and form of a genuine certificate."
AND
2)"That specific document IS a genuine document."
If think she was saying #1).
Dick Morris has an interesting perspective on how these side issues actually help Obama. Do you really think there is any merit in recycling this stuff? Does anybody really believe that an Obama birth outside the territorial USA would not attract massive main street as well as tabloid media attention and coverage. I understand what can motivate this type of speculation but why does it have to get into the realm of the goofy? When you have concrete evidence bring it forward. But, until you are able to do that remember you are creating a side show, a distraction that only allows Obama an easy means to avoid confronting the real issues in respect of security and economics.

How about: When YOU have 'concrete evidense' that this has "only allowed Obama an easy means to avoid confronting the real issues in respect of security and economics" then please bring it forward. But until then, please don't post clueless dribble. Obama is not refusing to discuss those issues because of these threads. That's nuts.
And we’re still waiting for B.J.’s medical records. The law doesn’t apply the same to dems.
And J.F. Kerry’s DD-214 discharge papers.
Read the Morris article. His point is simple and clear. The reason why Obama loves the stuff you guys are writing is because it gets him off the hook of having to deal with the real substance. Everybody loves a side show. But, when you guys get manipulated into carrying Obama’s water it is time to think about the value of what you are trying to do. Basically if it is showing results yet, it won’t play in prime time. That is the essence of the Morris piece.
Obama was not bought down to earth by Hillary discussing his economic plans and policies. It was stuff LIKE THIS that took the bloom off the rose.
The biggest scammer of our time or any other.
We need to hammer away on all fronts. It really amazes me how there are so many out there who can’t do two things at once.
I think you guys badly underestimate just how slick a politician Obama has become. He is taking on the Focus on the Family because he knows he can’t lose. So, he only gets 25% of evangelicals (some estimates indicate he is polling as high as 35% among young evangelicals). The point is that 25% is a lot more than the zero that Kerry got. Morris and others (Novak) are pointing out that Obama has figured this stuff out and is playing you guys like a sweet violin. The missing point seems to be that he can and should be beat on the hard issues.
Why conservative subscribers in the St.Pete/Clearwater/Tampa Bay area keep feeding the hand that bites them is totally beyond my comprehension.

Morris guaranteed that Hillary would be out next president. He gives out every possible opinion on a subject so he can say he was right. He's playing people like YOU like a violin.
Do you not believe in a conservative agenda? I think what some analysts are beginning to realize is that Obama is learning to make it about personalities thereby avoiding have to deal with hard issues.
Even if this a genuine newly issued certificate of birth.
Where’s his original birth certificate? Which one did he use to get a passport? When did he get a passport? Why won’t he mention this issue?
Imagine if this was happening to McCain or Bush. The media is smart enough to know that these things hurt candidates. When they don’t settle these matters quickly, it makes them look squirrelly.
That wouldn't matter. Hawaii was a US territory from the 1890's till 1959. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone which wasn't even a territory. Under a 1904 law he could be considered a US citizen even if he only had one parent who was a US citizen.
What don’t you understand about “we can do more than one thing at one time”?
Excellent question but the system was prolly down when he showed up.
I agree. You do not attack an entire enemy Army at one point/place. Make no mistake that Obama has this issue covered by somewhere whether true or not.
You get on the offense using all the Principles of the Offense, and; you hammer and hammer.
This picture of Obama isn’t clear enough. It isn’t clear that he is wearing traditonal muslim clothing, and posing with his African brother. I seem to remember another instance where Obama was in Muslim clothing...wonder how many photos there are of him in these clothes? I can see trying them on once, to pose for a photo, but loads of times?
