Are Republicans still a National Party?

[I'm Rich Bitch]

The Birther movement is getting stronger and louder by the day. The majority of conservative blogs now believe that Obama was not born in the US. Every commenter on these blogs believe that Obama was not born in the US. The Republican media is convinced Obama was not born in the US.



Birthers are proud and growing stronger by the day. Now is there any doubt the end is very near for the Republican Party?

[Heavens_Myst]

Eh? Every day that guy is up there answering those kind of questions is one less day he can tell us how great the president's legislative agenda is proceeding.

If somehow Obama gets booted because he's found to be born outside the US, it's gonna be chaos, just like the Repubs like it. If they can't have it their way, might as well destroy the US in a fire.

[Mimirswell]

If Obama was born outside of the US; the Hillary campaign or the McCain campaign would of found out. Both groups investigated it and couldn't turn up any evidence.

It's a smear campaign like any other. Both sides do it, but I think the republicans' tactics are the more shallow and disgusting.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

It doesn't matter if he was born outside of the US. His mother was a citizen. Obama could have been born on Pluto and he'd still be a US citizen. The gist behind this whole thing is black father = not a citizen. The Hawaii birth certificate is just an outer layer that every crazy is seizing on, even if they got past that level they'd still have to explain about how Ann Dunham isn't his mother and picked up a strange baby and said "my son!" all for the purpose that one day he might be president and destroy the United States.

Oh how short people's memories are

We're going with the rumor: Sarah Palin is not Trig's mother - 236.com - News

Yea, the rumor circulating through the masses is equivalent to elected representatives calling Obama a kenyan invader, i.e. nigger. Show me a democrat that accused her of this. You won't because Obama campaigned on ethics. You're an idiot. I don't know why I bother to retort.

It's not so cut and dry when someone has only 1 parent that is a citizen, especially when copious amounts of time are spent out the U.S. If the parent at any time were to renounce their child's citizenship then that person would no longer qualify as naturally born.

You have your acknowledged leader IRB quoting DailyKOS as if it was a legal record on it multiple times during the election cycle, what more proof do I need! I mean, IRB is the pulse of the democrats! Seriously, if you think democrats are better than republicans, fine. Just don't pretend you aren't holding your nose over the worst parts of their bullshit just like conservatives hold their noses over the worst parts of the republican party.

[Heylel Teomim]

IRB is not the pulse of the Democrats. Don't even go there.

But she didn't?

Agraza: elected leadership didn't smear palin.

Fraxtard: IRB is your leader!


Huh? Even if you go with the whole Limbaugh is the head of the GOP theory....are you seriously comparing him to IRB?

LOLOLOLOL

I needed a laugh. Dude shut the fuck up. You sound unbelievably retarded. Just let it go and move on.


This whole birther thing is completely ridiculous and only serves to weaken the Republican party as a whole because the few remaining hopefuls (ie people who aren't part of the crazy movement) are only going to put up with this shit for so long. Hell even Alex Castellenos came out against Palin and the whole crazy movement the other day.

I'm happy. Maybe MAYBE when the Republican party gets thrashed enough they'll split apart and go back to what the core ideals REALLY are instead of party of jesus. They're blocking the healthcare initiative (NOT A THREAD HIJACK IM NOT DISCUSSING THE MERITS OF HEALTHCARE/GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION) which was one of the core things Obama ran on. Come 2010 and 2012 if the economy is on the rebound and Obama can point and say "general population we tried to fix healthcare and the republicans refused to come to the table".....its going to be a bloodbath.

You don't get it.

This is easy. Deal with insane ficion, make your opponents look stupid, distract them from real issue. Gibbs LOVES getting those questions. Its like throwing underhanded to Kevin Youkilis.

Nice attack the Republicans have there.

I'd be happy if the Republican party imploded too but I'm curious how you can say Republicans are blocking health care reform when clearly it is the Blue Dog Democrats in the House that are keeping a bill from going to the floor for a vote.
