Quote:The proposal, which also is being taken up in a number of other states, is highly specific and directly addresses the questions that have been raised by Barack Obama's occupancy of the White House. It says:


Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the candidate's citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate's age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States.

The critical phrases are "natural born citizen" and the requirements of "article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States," which imposes on the president a requirement not demanded of other state and federal officeholders.

The more these fringe types promote this stuff instead of the things that actually matter, it only helps Dems. Just silly to me when there are so many legitimate gripes against the Obama presidency to waste your time with this nonsense. You could easily win on real issues, instead you focus on this? That's how you lose an election.

Think of that how looks to moderates. You are making a mockery of yourself. Run on the issues, there are plenty there to win. Run on ridiculous conspiracy theories like the president is a Muslim from Kenya and you'll quickly be sitting on the sidelines for another four years.

Hey, I have one of those Obama things also.




BTW, what do you know about moderates?
