If not, then for lack of evidence, let this silly issue die. It is unbecoming of Conservatives to insinuate such a thing in the absence of proof to the contrary.
I do not like Mitt Romney. As far as i'm concerned, he is the worst candidate on the Field. I originally supported Herman Cain, and thereafter Rick Perry. Currently i'm leaning toward Santorum, but I don't think he has a chance.
This leaves only a contest between Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney. I don't like Newt Gingrich either, (He has stabbed us in the back too many times for me to forgive him.) but if the choice is between Romney and Gingrich, I will take Gingrich. ( I HATE the Rockefeller/Rhino/Republican establishment.)
That being said, if Romney ends up being the nominee, I will reluctantly vote for him. Better a George HW Bush clone than an utterly evil man like Obama. More Obama court appointments (and spending) will absolutely kill us.
If you want to complain about Romney, talk about how he flip-flops and possesses no principals which he won't renounce if he thinks it helps him politically. Talk about his stupid "Romney Care". Talk about how he is one of those Untrustworthy North Eastern Republican establishment types. Talk about all the things that are wrong with him, but get off of this "he's not a natural born citizen" crap, unless you actually have proof that he isn't.
It just hurts attempts to attack Obama with it.
No, the United States did not require a clear renunciation of citizenship at the time in which these events took place. Due to their illegal practice of polygamy, the Romeny family forfeited their U.S. citizenship by the Edmunds-Tucker Act, the SCOTUS confirmation of that act, and by their sojourn in Mexico as citizens of Mexico for more than five years. It remains to be seen what evidence there is that the Romney anceestors ever applied for and were granted naturalized citizenship after they forfeited their prior U.S. citizenship.
Perhaps they did, but the U.S. voters have a right and perhaps an arguable obligation as diligent citizens to secure such evidence before allowing Mitt Romney on the ballots.
