Birthers, I love the slang terms that political opposition groups come up with to silence people.

The term isn't there to silence these idiots, its to publicise them.

Oh good lord, are there still crackpots who believe in this stuff?

Birthers will never ever be happy with any evidence, no matter how damning, that ever could be released on this. They have no concept of testing a null hypothesis. Any evidence to the contrary of their opinion is discarded as false, simply because they have themselves convinced that Obama was not born in Hawaii. Nothing will ever change their minds of that. I'd shut the books and tell them to screw off too. Save everyone the time, money and hassle of dealing with these lunatics.

Agreed, someone would have checked. On the other hand none of those 'someones' seems to have spoken up.

He was elected to three separate offices, each requiring that he be a US citizen, and he was able to fool all three? Even when he was a no body first running for state senator?

Well, Federal Senator requires that you be a citizen for nine years, not that you be naturally born. Of course if he wasn't naturally born and never applied for citizenship...

The Hawaii state legislature only requires that you have been a citizen of the state for at least three years. The Illinois state legislature requires that you be a resident of the district you wish to represent for at least two years.

That said, I completely agree with your summations. Anything negative I've said is purely for fun. FactCheck's page is plenty good enough for me.

Also, I'm sure that both the Hilary and McCain campaigns would have found anything if there were something to be found. Both of those were very cutthroat races.

This must have been in reaction to the push in Arizona to have legislation that if any presidential candidate to appear on the state ballot they must have proof of citizenship.

Why that isnt already a requirement Ill never know.

Let me add a little gasoline to the fire

Yeah they remind me of the "Bush stole the Y2K election" people and the folks who think 9-11 was an inside job.

The Tea Party is a lot bigger and diverse than that, stop falling for Dem propaganda.

I'm not brother...making light of what we see from President to President. You would think the Tea Party movement (bowel movement as the head of ACORN called it) was some type of new thing. Really, it is all nothing but hype....

Had a friend then that was a Gore supporter - that was pretty much her reaction when Bush won.

Bush didn't steal the election. He just had the Supreme Court rule in his favor instead of going to the Senate to decide as per Constitutional law.
