Just curious. Because they seem to be very into the idea that these things must be checked beyond all reasonable measure. If not, then can we assume it's because Obama is African American that all the ruckus was happening?

(2,097 posts)The fervent birthers on Freep have groused about this. These are the guys who believe "natural born citizen" means born on American soil of two American citizen parents. They're asking questions about Romney and Santorum (who's dad was an Italian immigrant) and have pretty much dismissed Rubio out-of-hand. They're a tall drink of crazy, but at least they're consistent.

(157 posts)why are we not seeing billionaires and TV News channels and politicians in Congress making a deal of Mitt? This is purely inconsistent, and shows beyond a shadow of a doubt what we knew all along--this was nothing but a covert RACISM gambit. And we have to be ready to hold them accountable and get our commentators and leaders pointing out what a bunch of racist clowns the GOP are.

(31,828 posts)A huge ass - I think I should start a blog requesting - no - DEMANDING that Romney show me his birth certificate. And if he has more than one mother - I want to know that too.
Ditto Santorum, Paul, and Newt. And I also want to see their grades - from Pre-School.

(82,383 posts)They didn't need to see McCain's (to show where he was born) and his parents' (to show they were citizens to pass their citizenship to McCain). They didn't need to see Palin's or Biden's. They just believed that those individuals were born in the U.S. Now I wonder why that is?
