The GOP, the birthers and the tea party are against whatever Obama is for even if they had been for the same issue previously. Like all presidents, Obama is doing some things right and some things poorly, but the continuous critics of Obama discredit themselves because, whatever he is for, they are against, even at the expense of the country. When you place party over country, as the GOP, the birthers and the tea partiers do, you have lost your way.

Notice that everyone of them has been tossed from court with nothing more than a preliminary hearing.

What if that happened and Jindal refused to present his birth certificate? I get really amused at the thought of what the liberals and the main stream media would do.

once again johndeagun and other repubs...let me say this clear and slow for you guys...
OBAMA'S MOTHER WAS A AMERICAN CITIZEN,THEREFOR IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE ON THIS PLANET OBAMA WAS BORN..HE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AT BIRTH
can i be any clearer
Recent poll says 70% think Obama's hiding something about his birth and want him to come clean .. but the Obama administration and followers would like you to believe it's just a few nuts that way they don't have to prove anything

July 13 2010 at 1:22 PM Report abuse Permalink -3 rate up rate down ReplyWell, if the rules for presidential candidates or holding the office require that you are a natural born citizen of the country, it is a valid reason to require proof of such. It is a rule that to drive a car you have to have a license and if requested by police, you have to present it as proof. Why not in this instance?
I say he's right. OH, and the thing about McCain. He was born in panama while his father, a U.S. Military man was stationed there. He was born on a U.S. military base, which, is considered U.S. soil.
Please state the base for your conclusion. A military base is not U.S. soil.

I noted that Vitter said it would be a mistake to focus on the birth certificate issue which i take to mean that he himself would not pursue it. Louisians lost one conservative to the issue of indiscretion and that was Bob livingston who resigned from office saying that Bill Clinton should do the same. Well we all know that Bill Clinton is still glorified by the Democrats . So all I can say is that Vitter will get my vote over any Democrat anytime anywhere and for any office and he will win his election is a landslide.

When Eliot Spitzer was connected to hookers, he had to resign, but the GOP has given Vitter a pass. The statute of limitations is the only reason that he avoided criminal charges. Vitter has opposed legislation to protect women who are victims of rape, and has introduced legislation to cap the liability of oil companies. It's a shame that people in Louisiana can't seem to recognize his complete lack of ethics.
