weren't Presidents?
I'm neither a Birther, nor a ROTer (Republic of Texas). I'm just pointing out that if someone thinks that having President born in Texas will put an end to Birtherism, well lets see:
Birthers and ROTers are both paranoid conspiracyists.
Birthers and ROTers are both convinced that they hold arcane knowledge that unmasks the vast conspiracy.
Birthers and ROTers are both indifferent to the fact that men have previously been elected to the Presidency/Vice-Presidency, despite the fact that they were in Birther/ROTer World, not qualified.
Birthers and ROTers are both driven to find self worth in drawing others into their delusions.
I don't see much difference. Oh sure, Birther leaders like Truther Phil Berg would find fewer Freepers and more DUmmies among their followers when they went after "President" Perry, but to think that things like fact, and reason, will end Birtherism, is to fundamentally misunderstand it.
