    I believe you are wrong about the seal. If you look very carefully it appears to be embossed.

    Hospital, home, in a wagon, I do not see that as important in any manner.

    I was being facetious. Surely you remember all the whining about Photoshopped layers and fake birth certificates with Obama?

    OK, this is too much. This campaign logo obviously shows an upside down American flag on fire. :laugh:

    I don't like it. Too many similarities. Definitely done with purpose.

    This has actually put the GOP in an excellent position. No matter what the Dems say, the GOP can respond with, "YOU set the precedent. We're just following you." No flip-flopping needed.



    However, if any of the Dems oppose him, they are most certainly flip-flopping.



    It's a great situation for the GOP.

    Obama was born in Hawaii. Cruz was born in Canada. There is a difference.

    In the context of common sense, this means something. In the context of politics, I doubt it will make a difference.

    The big question was, at the time, why it took Obama so long to release his birth certificate.
    Based on his upbringing - it was reasonable, at the time, to consider doubts about his citizenship.

    Now, the new question - Who determines if a person is a natural born citizen.
    Should it be the Federal Elections Commission?
    Should it be the DC District Court
    Should it be the Supreme Court
    Should it be left up to the voters

    Read my first post and then apologize.

    What is your opinion on the question?

    In the long run ... and it may be a very long run the Supreme Court will decide. They are the ultimate test in our government.

    I think that it is settled law that if you are born of American parents that you are an American. Cruz points out that Barry Goldwater was not born in the USA but was born of American parents in Arizona when Arizona was a territory and not a state. McCain was born in Panama, of course, while his father was in service--both McCain's grandfather and father were Admirals, as you know.

    No. Nothing to apologize for.

    It seems important to you.

    So a native of Puerto Rico would be legally able to run for President of the US? Even though no one in PR, would be able to vote for him?

    You are such a lying hypocrite Crabby. It is the democrats who are the party of racism. They prove this by making "plantation blacks" out of the black population in this country; making them dependent on "massa" Federal government.

    Furthermore, as I have noted on a number of occasions the South began to swing from democrat to Republican when Eisenhower recognized the South as a part of the Union again.
    The following article shows that the swing from democrat to Republican began well before Eisenhower but the big shift came under Eisenhower. All this barnyard crap you spew about the Nixon Southern strategy is simply an example of your "Hate the Southerners" mentality.



    I am quite sure you consider me a "hater" and you are correct. I hate hypocrisy such as shown by you when you post those pious remarks about how much you love the poor and downtrodden while at the same time supporting the slaughter of the unborn, "O thou follower of Baal!"

    Guess the same would be true of someone born in America Samoa.
