I wish more people would look carefully at some of the players in the "birther movement".
* Phil Berg, a Hillary Clinton supporter.
* Orly Taitz, who on more than one occasion has asked the United Nations to interveen in our judicial system on behalf of "birther" issues. Does that sound conservative to you?
There are others, including convicted criminals and those who are happy to put up the ol' "Paypal" button, asking for donations, but those are enough to prove a point.
Every time a politician comes out in favor of fighting Obama on the actual issues, people inevitably call him/her a RINO and swear they'll never vote for them, which is exactly what the liberals eat up with a spoon.
We still have open primaries and we still have a "You're next" mentality at the top of the party, making Mitt Romney a good bet for the nomination, which makes me sick to my stomach. We still have a Congress which is unwilling to make serious cuts to the budget; now Boehner has indicated that he's willing to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for "cuts". Now Obama's talking gun control. He managed to ram through health care "reform". Nothing has been done on immigration. Nothing has been done on the debt except run it through the roof. Millions are unemployed. Food prices are through the roof. Gas prices are through the roof. Housing prices are in the toilet.
Court after court after court has turned down "birther" lawsuits, but that doesn't keep sites like WND from writing breathless "articles" every time another case is submitted to SCOTUS. It also doesn't keep them from begging for donations for their advertising in the form of the "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboards (ever noticed that their name and url is conveniently located on the billboards?).
So yeah. Allen West is a RINO. So is Sarah Palin. So is every person who doesn't jump on the bandwagon.
And every member of Congress, judges at every level, members of the military who continue to serve under Obama, voters, citizens... anyone who disagrees is a traitor and an "O-Bot" and a really bad person.
Liberals have to be loving every moment of it.
In 1 year, 7 months, and 22 days, we elect a new president. What have we accomplished?
Just what do you expect when you won't hold elected officials to the simplest requirements of their oath of office?
Apparently we've shown we're quite adept at IDing RINOs who won't make the birth certificate of Obama their Numero Uno issue. Beyond that... not much.
U do realize I was being sarcastic, right? :-)
