Reminds me of another article I read today. I don't completely buy into it, but it's an interesting thought experiment. Ezra Klein thinks that Obama is a early 1990s moderate Republican. The key part in that article is:

Rather, it appears that as Democrats moved to the right to pick up Republican votes, Republicans moved to the right to oppose Democratic proposals

I think that's what we're seeing. As the Democratic party drifts further right, you see these clowns like Bachman and Trump taking very extreme positions to differentiate themselves.

I like to read American Conservative magazine. It's got a smart right wing view that's not completely bugf-k insane like the mainstream neocon voices (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, et. al). Even they lament how the Republican party has turned into some unrecognizable extremist group.

Eventually the GOP is going to get so far right that they alienate all but their true believers, and the pendulum will swing back the other way.

I thought the low point was reached in 2008 and the pendulum started swinging back last year.

I eagerly await the first presidential run of an anchor baby.

By some of your definitions of 'citizen' they'll be eligible because they were born on our side of some line on a map. Natural born by definition means born of 2 citizen parents.

I'm not feeling all that well right now, but i could swear you just contradicted yourself.

I suggest you read the law involving citizenship requirements before you tell people what's what. One parent is sufficient if that parent lived in the United States for the required period of time.

Wrong link ?
"Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad"


Fail Steve.

I think Obama was just waiting so Trump would look like a bigger idiot than he is. I doubt Trump or Palin would run, but wouldn't that be a ticket for the ages, Obama wouldn't even have to campaign.

You said flatly that to be "natural born" requires two citizen parents. That link clearly shows that only one of them has to be a citizen. How exactly does you being wrong equal me failing?

Are you saying Barry was born abroad ?

I'm willing to risk it all on Trump, just for the part on the swearing in day, to have him sit in the chair, point at BHO and say:"You're fired!"
