Every birther article contains fallacy or false information, which usually starts early on.

Like this one:

The addition of a grandfather clause in this paragraph says a lot as to the meaning of natural born. The first thing it says is that being born in the U.S. is not enough to be natural born; otherwise the grandfather clause would not have been necessary.

The Founding Fathers weren't excluded from being natural born citizens of the United States of America because being born on American soil "wasn't enough to be natural born." Under common law, which formed the basis for most of early US law and specifically the context in which the Constitution was written, all persons born in the country were considered "natural born," whether children of citizens or of aliens - the only exception being the children of foreign diplomats and occupying armies.

The Founding Fathers were excluded from being natural born citizens of the United States of America for the very simple and obvious reason that the United States of America did not exist when they were born.

One is a flip floping liar, the other is a quitter. Ron Paul is a dove who wants to cut spending. Perry is dumb. Santorum and Bachman should be able to move up.

By the way, there are plenty of good reasons to vote for Gingrich over Romney. This just isn’t one of them.
