HOLLAND, Mich.—Mitt Romney said Tuesday his campaign is vetting Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential vice presidential candidate, contradicting several reports suggesting otherwise.
Romney told reporters Rubio is being "thoroughly vetted" for the VP job and described stories reporting contrary news as "false."
...Snip...
"...The story was entirely false. Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process."

“The paragraph you cited doesn’t say anything at all about the NBC clause. Why are you telling outright and obvious lies??”
Why are you too stupid to read?
“The real object of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, in qualifying the words, “All persons born in the United States” by the addition “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” would appear to have been to exclude, by the fewest and fittest words...the two classes of cases — children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation and children of diplomatic representatives of a foreign State — both of which, as has already been shown, by the law of England and by our own law from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America, had been recognized exceptions to the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the country. Calvin’s Case, 7 Rep. 1, 18b; Cockburn on Nationality, 7; Dicey Conflict of Laws, 177; Inglis v. Sailors’ Snug Harbor, 3 Pet. 99, 155; 2 Kent Com. 39, 42.
The principles upon which each of those exceptions rests were long ago distinctly stated by this court. [p683]”
“JimRob made a very clear transition regarding the importance of getting off of Romney’s back and focusing on defeating Obama!”

Read it and weep!
“Frank discussion re our loss to Obama/Romney and the future direction of FR and tea party movement”
My FRiends, we might as well face the reality that we the combined pro-life conservative movement and tea party coalition have lost this round (the presidential election) in the larger battle to reclaim our constitution and our inalienable rights. Rove, Romney and the GOP-e have successfully destroyed and driven off each and every pro-life conservative tea party candidate from the race and all have surrendered to the Romney camp. It is no secret that Romney is not one of us. There is absolutely no doubt that he has never accomplished a single conservative thing in his entire political career (one term as liberal governor of liberal Massachusetts and six years campaigning for president). In Massachusetts, he undeniably championed abortion, gay rights, global warming, gun control, big government statist mandated/socialized health care programs, liberal judges, TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending, debt limit increases, etc, and even though he’s recently claimed a complete reversal in political beliefs and no longer despises pro-life conservatives or the time of Reagan-Bush, I still don’t trust him. He still stubbornly holds on to some of his statist beliefs, like global warming, gays in the military, RomneyCare, stimulus spending, etc, so there is no way I can vote for him or join Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Newt or any others who are endorsing him. But I will not act on my prior promises that I would actively campaign against him if he wins the nomination. Our combined movement is already torn and splintered and is going to have to be mended if we’re going to have any impact whatsoever against the liberal/progressives and statists after the election. To that end I propose a TRUCE among our conservative forces during the remainder of this election cycle.
We conservatives have already lost the presidency to either the Dems or the GOP-e, and if we tear the tea party apart, if we tear the pro-life movement apart, if we tear FR apart then we lose it all. It’s far more important that we re-unite and live to fight another day. Even if we can’t vote for a true conservative for the presidency, it’s doubly important that we all turn out on election day or sooner and drag our friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, etc, to the polls to vote straight conservative for every slot on our ballots. The only way we can win our freedom back is to vote out the liberal progressives and vote in as many liberty loving conservatives as is humanly possible into every elected office at every level of government all across this great land. To prevent a total loss to the dems or GOP-e, we must continue the tea party rebellion into November and beyond. Whatever else you may do, you must turn out and vote straight tea party conservative down ticket!!
We must continue expanding our inroads into the state houses and into every elective office in the land. We must continue building on our majority in the house and we must retake the senate!! We must help the conservative governors and state legislatures to fully restore the ninth and tenth amendments and reclaim the real political power away from the federal usurpers and return it to the states and the people per the constitution!! This way, regardless of who wins the presidency, we can cut his unconstitutional expansionist movements off at the knees. And if any executive, civil officer or judge dares commit impeachable offenses, we must hold the majorities so we can impeach and remove them from office!!
And we must salvage and rebuild and continue strengthening our conservative pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-constitution, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-liberty movements and our tea party coalition. And we must stop ripping each other apart!!
Therefore I hereby propose a general truce among our conservative forces!!
The Republic we save may be our own!!
Wow...so you would like four more years of Obama/Holder??? Is your head really that soft?
You have a point.
If the GOPe dares take the ultimate backstabbing
RINO Milt RomneyCARE as its representative,
then Obama WILL SURELY BE RE-ELECTED.
[which was the plan of Mr. RomneyCARE all along,
just like in 2008].
Why are you in the room next door?
A liberal Republican can do untold damage just as well as a Communist.
How about some FReepage in the comments of this story?:
There's a mighty big difference between Mr. Robinson's realistic message and your values free endorsement of Romney.
There’s a mighty big difference between doing all you can to get rid of Obama and sitting on the sideline.
Not really when one truthfully answers the question in post #95.
YES “Really”!!!
Obama wants to destroy America and has set the stage for that result.
Romney DOES NOT want to destroy America, no matter what you want to project, based on his term as MA Governor!
“Truthfully!”
Are you capable of understanding THAT difference?
Says you.
Do you NOT believe that Obama wants to DESTROY America?
Vattel wrote in Swiss French before the US Constitution was written.
In 1787 the constitution was written containing the phrase Natural Born Citizen.
In 1797 The law of Nations was translated from French to English and relevant phrase was converted into English as “Natural Born Citizen.”
That means the translator understood the Swiss french words from the old edition to have the same meaning as the English phrase “Natural Born Citizen,” the three word phrase which can *only* have come from the US constitution, since John Jay is the source of the complete English phrase.
The only reason to use Natural Born Citizen in the Translation is if the new translation of Vattels concept is in agreement in meaning with the concept contained in Article II.
The concept is vattel’s, the English language phrase NBC is first used by John Jay in his letter to George Washington, which the founders then used in the Constitution.
The founders consulted the “Law of Nations” on the matter of citizenship, that much is known.
“That means the translator understood the Swiss french words from the old edition to have the same meaning as the English phrase “Natural Born Citizen,” the three word phrase which can *only* have come from the US constitution, since John Jay is the source of the complete English phrase.”
No.
First, there IS a French phrase for NBS/NBC: “sujets naturel”. It was used in legal documents for NBC.
Second, NBC was used by legislatures prior to the Constitution, and it was used interchangeably with natural born subject. As an example:
In February, 1785, the Massachusetts legislature passed “AN ACT FOR NATURALIZING NICHOLAS ROUSSELET AND GEORGE SMITH.” in which it was declared that Nicholas Rousselet and George Smith “shall be deemed, adjudged, and taken to be citizens of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, rights and privileges of natural born citizens.”
In July, 1785, the Massachusetts legislature passed “AN ACT FOR NATURALIZING MICHAEL WALSH.” in which it was declared that Michael Walsh “shall be deemed, adjudged, and taken to be a citizen of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, rights and privileges of a natural born citizen.”
In July, 1786, the Massachusetts legislature passed “AN ACT FOR NATURALIZING JONATHAN CURSON AND WILLIAM OLIVER” in which it was declared that Jonathan Curson and William Oliver “shall be deemed adjudged and taken to be free Citizens of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, privileges and immunities of natural born citizens.”
In March, 1787, the Massachusetts legislature passed “AN ACT FOR NATURALIZING WILLIAM MARTIN AND OTHERS.” in which it was declared that William Martin and Others,”shall be deemed, adjudged and taken to be free Citizens of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, privileges and immunities of natural born subjects.”
In March, 1787, the Massachusetts legislature passed “AN ACT FOR NATURALIZING EDWARD WYER AND OTHERS THEREIN NAMED.” in which it was declared that William Martin and Others,”shall be deemed, adjudged and taken, to be free Citizens of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, privileges and immunities of natural born subjects.”
Vattel never used the French term, when writing in the 1750s. And the legislatures that ratified the US Constitution DID use the term prior to the drafting of the Constitution, as the American equivalent of natural born subject.
That is why this birther nonsense won’t go anywhere - the US Supreme Court has already pointed out that NBC is the American version of NBS. Deal with it, or continue to be laughed at in court.
Drew on this forum those who are still insisting that anyone and everyone can be president are schilling for the destruction of the constitution and this nation.
Now get lost traitor.
Now go look up all the same cases on paper in a law library. When you find that on paper they read very different from what you read on line maybe then you will realize the lengths the socialists will go to to enshrine their Obama.
By the way if you can not find those cases on paper check carefully for missing pages. They are also mutilating books to hide their crime.
And we both know the sources cited have been amended with malicious intent. Perhaps by you! You are always consistently wrong. Get your dirt in one sock Sir, even retired a naval officer is supposed to be consistently correct.
There has been many a Masters and Doctoral thesis written on this. British common law dealt with subjects, property of a state and their relationship with that states monarch or king/queen. The US constitution deals with the relationship between free men without any King who we where throwing under a bus at gun point at that time. The only commonality of British common law and US law is both are written in English. The founding fathers pointedly did not use British common law in writing the Constitution.
