No, it's all about giving reich-wing mouth-foamers something to get all frothy about. They had to sit back and listen for six years as left-wingers screamed for the impeachment of George Bush on trivial grounds like deliberately blowing the cover of a CIA agent, violating the U.S. Constitution by spying on Americans without a warrant and starting a war based on lies that resulted in the deaths of more than a million people. This is all about giving them a counterweight to that. You don't think they f@acking well believe this shit, do you? But they can pretend they do. And for the 23%ers, pretension is reality.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-80317912853759989772008-12-09T13:32:00.000-08:002008-12-09T13:32:00.000-08:00One word: ILLUMINATI!One word: ILLUMINATI!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-39277122783322474522008-12-09T12:14:00.000-08:002008-12-09T12:14:00.000-08:00And let's not forget the birth announcement that w...And let's not forget the birth announcement that was shown to be printed in the Honolulu newspaper in 1961.

This is true no matter where the body physically exists on (or off) the earth when it first exits the womb. This applied to McCain.<BR/><BR/>End of Story.<BR/><BR/>Don't take this to disagree with his Hawaiian Birth certificate..

Passports are based on citizenship, and it's possible to be a citizen of more than one country. For example, it's possible to acquire citizenship by being born in a country, or by being naturalized into a country (which does not necessarily require relinquishing citizenship from a previous country), or by being born to parents of a differing citizenship (e.g., born of American parents abroad).<BR/><BR/>But, being a citizen has no bearing on whether one was natural born or not (although the natural born requirement is present for president). <BR/><BR/>Additionally, there's the issue of being born in a territory which has subsequently been given it's independence.<BR/><BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-64624023194158321782008-12-09T08:12:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:12:00.000-08:00The giggler in this whole story is what would happ...The giggler in this whole story is what would happen if the wackos actually got their claim upheld.<BR/><BR/>We didn't elect Obama.
