“This kind of stuff is going to play right into Obama and his democrat’s hands.”

It keeps Farah and Corsi employed, keeps birthers entertained and highly agitated, but it is doubtful to have convinced a single Obama voter to change their next vote.

The Congress and Supreme Court won’t override the will of the voters, so there we are.

The economy is the defining issue for the next election, and conservatives need to prioritize, get focused and stay focused on that.

Let's multitask and not let the precident get set that someone born with foreign citizenship, having multiple foreign citizenships, be eligible for Commander in Chief of our military.

Short and Long term - economy. Long term - nobody with foreign citizenship get's their hands on the nuclear football.

It’s tough for this group to do, but that is EXACTLY what needs to be done.

That is absolutely the case. While I consider myself an anti-birther and believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, I also believe the FF intended that a natural-born citizen be born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents. I think we need a SCOTUS ruling to clearly define who is and is not a natural-born citizen, but I know we aren't likely to get such a ruling.

That being said, I've spent significant time presenting the issue to liberals on their turf. In doing so, the most I have accomplished is to convince them that there is not a legal process in place to determine that a candidate meets the Constitutional requirements for the presidency and that there should be one. Or, they accept that the FF intended two citizen parents but believe that the Constitution is a living document and that the FF's original intentions are outdated in today's global community due to the ease of international travel and the prevalence of multi-national relationships.

We won't get anywhere with liberals or even mainstream conservatives on this issue. The single, most-damaging factor to the eligibility issue was Orly Taitz's freak show.

Where in hell have you been for the past 50 years? They do it on an almost daily basis.
