GOP lawmaker: Eligibility too scary to take on

"GOP lawmaker: Eligibility too scary to take on
Fears investigation would be 'biggest constitutional crisis since Civil War'
...

When it came to investigating Obama’s eligibility, however, Adams – who is now running for the U.S. House – said he feared Congress standing up to the chief executive would trigger “a constitutional crisis unlike one we’ve seen since perhaps the Civil War.”

Further, Adams questioned whether an investigation by Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio – determining probable cause to suspect the White House presented forged documents as “proof” of Obama’s eligibility – lends “credibility” to the case.

In a video shot by Ballantyne, author of “Oh Really, O’Reilly!” and cameraman Gabe Zolna, Adams affirmed his oath of office to defend the Constitution, but worried that investigating Obama’s potential violation of that Constitution would create tremendous “fallout” among the American people.

“First off, I do think it’s entirely appropriate that every candidate for office be able to prove their eligibility,” Adams said. “But … can you imagine the constitutional crisis that would ensue?”

He continued, “Because of how big that would be, I simply do not believe that an investigation by a volunteer posse of the sheriff gives enough credibility to this issue to really push this issue.”

Instead, Adams insisted Congress shouldn’t act until the question of Obama’s eligibility had “worked its way through the legal process.” ..."

It's important that all candidates prove they are eligible....EXCEPT for Obama.

So we’re not supposed to approach this subject because the consequences of doing so are huge? Well the consequences of not doing so are even huger!

This is also why the GOP has no intent to win the White House this time around.

Let me get this straight - IF we ran Arnold Schwarzenegger the press and government would be too scared to check him out? Gimme a break. They’d find their backbones in a New York Minutes if the guy was Republican.

He’s not the boogie man, He’s just a skinny half white, big eared clown.

Whats the big deal ? If they can’t do the job the other half of America put them there to do they should step down.

A perfect example of why the Republican Party is where it is today.

Sure -- it's easy to imagine. What I can't imagine is how so many "cowardly lions" managed to win elections and quake at the knees before Oz.

Understand what these people are being told, folks.

ANYONE who has dared to question, has been marginalized and destroyed by the Obama sycophant media, labeled as CRAZY! and NUTZ!!, and laughed at one Prime Time TV. SNL does skits about them, and the Daily Show calls them ‘INSANE!’.

There at least a dozen examples of this, that they can already look to.

In politics, like it or not, you fight the battles you can win, especially with a largely gay-run enemy media against you. All pols are, first and foremost, concerned with their own careers, first.

The Republicans in DC are damned by:

A) The inability to counter this kind of propaganda. Not because they don’t want to, but because the sycophantic media won’t cover it.

As we have all learned (Fast and Furious, gate after gate), it’s NOT a scandal, if the Big Media decides not to cover it. That’s the media-centric world we live in today, folks.

You gotta be kidding me. These morons in Congress are too chicken sh*t to stand up for the Constitution?!?

“Ooooo it’s toooooo scarrrrry - I might wet my pants!”

Effing cowards, all of them. I’d better not hear even one of them comparing themselves to our Founding Fathers.

This conspiracy runs deep. Think about how many people would be found to have committed a whole host of federal crimes from perjury to forgery and conspiracy to commit the same.

To ensure Obozo made it to the goal and remained there would have to have taken scores of individuals.

All these folks are facing prison time....this is why the establishment is stonewalling the way that they are.

Bobby Jindal would be a case in point.
