    The "absolute dictator party"? You mean the globalist party which is composed of the republicrats on one side and the demopublicans on the other?

    Both parties have worked tirelessly at making the POTUS into a king. Don't tell me you hadn't noticed.

    I know strange isn't it? Most folks have a two track mind with both tracks heading in the same direction and they can't figure out why they're always getting closer and closer to the same abyss.

    And here I am trying to lay my one and only track in the opposite direction.

    Guess that makes me nuts huh?

    Hey how about a nice juicey Cicada? I got a bunch of em! :smilewinkgrin:

    The point of this thread is that there are 172 certified individuals running for POTUS. It is not meant to focus on just one - which by the way has had several threads just on him.

    One point, I thought that was interesting is that there are several democrats who are trying to challenge Obama ( but be sure you check out their birth certificates :smilewinkgrin:)

    So what other interesting candidates do you see on the list?

    Its listed right at the top- actually it is between the Dem and Rep party.

    In addition Jimmy is also running as a Republican. That is possible as NY is a fusion state.

    Silly birthers look what they got started.

    [FONT=Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]10 states now developing eligibility-proof demands[/FONT]

    [FONT=Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]107 Electoral College votes controlled by Arizona, Texas, Connecticut, others[/FONT]

    Arizona may have the most advanced plan, but 10 of the United States – controlling 107 Electoral College votes – are now considering some type of legislation that would plug the hole in federal election procedures that in 2008 allowed Barack Obama to be nominated, elected and inaugurated without providing proof of his qualifications under the U.S. Constitution.

    And they aren't all the simple legislation such as that adopted in New Hampshire a year ago that requires an affidavit from a candidate stating that the qualifications – age, residency and being a "natural born citizen" – have been met.




    Define "certified" for us Salty. Does it include being an Article II natural born citizen and being able to prove it? Maybe it's just me but you seem awful flippant about honoring your oath to protect and defend the U.S. constitution when it comes to presidential candidates having to actually follow the laws written in it. What's up with that? Does the law no longer apply to presidential candidates? Are they somehow above it or exempt or what?

    I took that oath way back when and don't remember the word "unless" or "until" being in it anywhere. Maybe you swore to a different version. An earlier one? Later one?

    Poncho - cant you ever stay on subject.

    I might consider answering your question - but not in this thread, as the subject is NOT birther.

    It just seems like a what's that word . . . a, a, a conundrum!

    Yeah that's it.

    "( but be sure you check out their birth certificates :smilewinkgrin:)"

    You made a bad joke and I responded. You know very well that democrats are exempt from their own demands on republican's natural born citizen status.

    Okay I'll ya alone now.
