Wasn;t there some weirdness about “brainwashing?”

His father dropped out of the race, when it was pointed out that he was born in Mexico. If you read Senate resolution 511, which declared McCain a “natural born citizen”, you will find it states,” Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President”, this no doubt refers to George W. Romney, and Barry Goldwater. Being born in Mexico, Romney certainly was NOT eligible.

And I thought the other thread was the joke of the day.

This one takes the cake. LOL.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

— William Butler Yeats, January 1919

Please someone interpret these two lines.

Everybody else in America thinks that it was because of the brainwashing comment and low polling numbers, what is your source for this new theory?

Title III, section 301 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act states, “(e) a person born in an outlying possession of the United States of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year at any time prior to the birth of such person;”.
As I stated in the article, His grandfather’s parents, had spent there entire lives in Mexico.

I believe this would apply, “ SEC. 325. [8 U.S.C. 1436] A person not a citizen who owes permanent allegiance to the United States, and who is otherwise qualified, may, if he becomes a resident of any State, be naturalized upon compliance with the applicable requirements of this title, except that in applications for naturalization filed under the provisions of this section residence and physical presence within the United States within the meaning of this title shall include residence and physical presence within any of the outlying possessions of the United States.”

I've always interpreted that as referencing Revelation myself. The anti-Christ.

Believe it or not, some of us humans, actually have original thoughts, based on the facts at hand. Can you disprove any of the facts I persented?

Anything to keep Myth Romney from the nomination is a good thing.

If you’re going to pick your way through the specifics, you’re going to have to deal with statutes as they existed and were applied at the time of his birth. Current statutes may or may not apply.

As far as George Romney’s failed Presidential candidacy and any presumed lack of eligibility, it’s moot. He withdrew and so there was no legal issue regardless.

Under every early Naturalization Act of Congress, he was born a citizen. That’s what matters as far as even the strictest interpretation of original intent.

I really think you’re just tossing out a red herring, but I’ll discuss it just to nip it in the bud. Mitt Romney has no eligibility problem, not that he’ll ever be in any position to worry about it, lol. Mr. President-In-A-Can doesn’t have a snowball’s chance given the mood of the electorate.

Poetic license, foreshadowing, who knows? Nobody ever accused Yeats of being obvious.
