Why eligibility is a winning issue
WND ^ | February 04, 2011 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 02/04/2011 12:22:09 PM PST by RobinMasters

Conservatives make me laugh – and cry, sometimes.

From the very beginning of WND's relentless coverage of the eligibility issue, there were many very high-profile conservatives in public office and the media who discouraged any focus on it.

They whispered and muttered that it was not a "winning issue."

They wrung their hands in worriment over the possibility that Barack Obama would pull the rug out from under the pursuit by pulling his long-form birth certificate out of his hat – making us look ridiculous for ever asking for it.

They even went so far as to suggest the whole controversy was a "trap" being set for those who went near it.

They warned that Obama is waiting for me to get out far enough on a limb so he can saw it off.

They were even afraid that Obama might indeed be ineligible and the nation would face a constitutional crisis as a result.

I didn't listen to them then, and I don't listen to them now.

I am a hundred percent unconcerned if “the rug gets pulled out from under us.”

He’d still have to answer for some bizarre stonewalling for two plus years, in that case. I don’t think “birthers” have anything to apologize for or worry about.

The most powerful man in the world, operating out of the most powerful office in the world, situated in the most powerful nation in the world, and he can’t produce the most believeable fake in the world?

Don’t bet the next election on it. Obama’s been playing with this issue, he’s been loving it.

If he needs a BC, one will be fothcoming.

Excellent article. This is just going to get more and more traction.

The left and the MSM doesn’t want to hear it, but there is SOMETHING WRONG - and it is getting more and more obvious.

It’s a loser in the courts, but like you said...he’s got some explaining to do now and the states look like they’re getting ready to trump his hand by putting long form BC requirements to be able to get on the ballot.

If one or two states do this and Barry kisses them off...he’s toast. The whole BC thing will come down on him like a bucket of water. I can guarantee you that someone in the Electoral College will demand to see the long form BC this time.

It’s a battle worth fighting. Given who has been identified as B.O.’s father, the current White House occupant cannot be a NBC and is therefore ineligible to hold the office. If it is shown that B.O. Sr. is not the father, then the occupant has committed massive fraud. The bottom line is that there is no way B.O. can win this battle UNLESS the American people wimp out and ignore it.

The real birth certificate (if it has not already been destroyed) will reveal much about the loon-O-dent. Most probably, it may show a birth in Hawaii, but the father’s name will continue the unraveling of his set of lies contained with his silly books.

He is a fake, pure and simple. He couldn’t write a sentence without the help of someone who actually has an education.

You mean, from the same file drawer that held Hillary’s Rose Law Firm records? And maybe Vince Foster’s “suicide note”?

There could be a dozen or more states with eligibility ballot laws on the books by 2012.

See ya Obama.

Where’s Alexander O’Neal when ya need him?

“Fake”

Your name was patty
But now it’s kay
Girl
You seem to change it every day.
Your hair was long
But now it’s short
You say: i got it cut
But i don’t see no hair upon the floor.
Whenever i go out with you i find out something new.
You’re a fake
Baby
You can’t conceal it
Know how i know
‘cause i can feel it.
You’re a fake
Baby
No rhyme or reason
‘cause in your mind it’s lyin’ season.
You had brown eyes
But now they’re blue
Those false eyelashes that you’re wearin’
Too.
In bed this morning you called me clyde
Alex is the name that i go by!
If women could be counterfeit
Then you’d be it.
You’re a fake
Baby
You can’t conceal it
. . .
You’re a fake
Baby
I’ve blown your cover
The iig is up
‘cause i discovered -
You’re a fake
Baby
No need to hide it
Can’t change my mind
‘cause i’ve decided -
You’re a fake
Baby
And i’m disgusted
The game is through and
Girl
You’re busted
Fake!
Whenever i go out with you i find out something new.
You’re a fake
You always have a good excuse
But
Girl
That ain’t no use.
You’re a fake
Baby
You can’t conceal it
. . .
You’re a fake
Baby
No rhyme or reason
. . .
You’re a fake
Baby
Fake
Fake!

-A. O’Neal

It’s a reasonable issue but I don’t believe should be the only issue. Recent developments seem to suggest that the questions around the birth cert may have some credibility. It certainly doesn’t help Obama no more than the Truther charges again Bush helped him however those that try to say it hurts us I have to ask how did the 9-11 truther/ Michael Moore crap hurt the left and it I believe was much more serious even traitorous and not a tenth of the attention was given to Truthers in the media even with the recent Lougner shooting who was most definitely of the Truther bent.

There are real questions about the President’s records in general. He has not be forth coming on his birth, education, or medical records. If you have a tendency towards conspiracy then it may seem a bit more than coincidence that one of the guys who was a part of Obama’s Passport breach ended up getting shot to death outside of his church. Is Obama a grifter, a matchstix man? I don’t know but the guy most certainly has a record of inflating himself beyond his accomplishments and combine that with his inordinate level of secrecy concerning records of his past is at a minimum strange. People do not hide what is not worth hiding.

Unless, and this is just me aspiring to writing the next Tom Clancy thriller, unless he has never seen the LFBC (if one even exists), has no idea what’s on it, but knows that someone else does know, and can therefore immediately expose him if he attempts a fake.

Or, much more boring, but more likely, he has a real fear of the collective intelligence that would be applied to breaking the fake, so his better strategy is simply to stonewall as long as possible, or as long as necessary, i.e., until some international emergency occurs which renders the whole question moot, indefinitely.

“Birther” is a perjorative used to avoid actually addressing the issue in question.

I see your point, but to make any comparison between Truther and Birther is incorrect except that they both end in ER.
