I don't think many reasonable people would consider a promotional booklet of a literary agent to be a credible source of information of a politician's birth.



I think you're wrong on that one. Just look at the response.



The response of the birthers? Notice I said reasonable people.

You probably shouldn't judge the reasonableness of something based on the ravings of lunatics.

quade, I have never seen objectivity as a strength of yours. Of course, you're going to call me right wing, and stupid, and a puppy killer, too. I expect that from you.

You're communicating to me that you honestly can't see anyone having any genuine basis to question Obama being a natural born citizen. That just shows me that you're not an objective person. QED.

Too bad Obama doesn't have much of a record to run on. If he did, we could get back to discussing the issues instead of this constant drone of personal attacks from the left wingers who are dutifully carrying out the spin from their leader.

To be fair, I'm still waiting on the sources you've claimed yo have seen personally. You said you have seen literature from Harvard and literature from the Illinois Senate, but then provided a link to dubious claims from a literary agency's promotional booklet.

Show me a single time I've ever done that. Seriously. You believe things not in evidence.

Then why doesn't he run on his record? Why all the personal attacks? He should be out there bragging instead of doing softball interviews and attacking Romney and Ryan.

Welcome to America and our first past the post (FPTP) voting system. FPTP encourages citizens to vote against the candidate (of the two major parties) that they least want to see in office instead of for the candidate they like most. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that much of the campaign rhetoric (from both sides) focuses on why the other candidate should be the one we least want to see in office.

If the response by extremists is a measure of a claim's validity, then that's an excellent argument for Romney to release his taxes. The extremists are saying he's a criminal who doesn't pay his taxes; do you really want a criminal in charge of the US?

And too bad Romney has a record the GOP wants to avoid. Romneycare, CEO of Bain while they were laying off people left and right (although he retroactively resigned when he started his campaign), supported abortion then opposed it, supported gay rights then opposed them etc.

On the plus side he has held both sides of many positions, so he can pick and choose which position he wants today.

I believe they would not find one law broken in his returns, they may find that he had filed for the IRS amnesty program for some of his unreported off-shore accounts.

Mitt and Ann Romney have released their complete 2010 tax return and an estimate of their 2011 return. (A full copy of their final 2011 return will be made public as soon as it is filed in the upcoming weeks). The Romneys have provided extensive information about their personal finances, with several hundred pages of tax returns now made public.

Governor Romney's tax returns show:

First, as a successful businessman, Governor Romney has not only added value to our economy through his investment and business activity, but he has paid millions in taxes every year to the U.S. government.

Second, the Romneys take to heart "to whom much is given, of him shall much be required." Accordingly, they have been extraordinarily generous in their charitable giving, donating over $7 million from 2010-2011 – donating even more to charity than they paid in taxes.

Third, Mitt Romney has scrupulously complied with the U.S. tax code, and his income is reported and taxed at the applicable rates, and he has paid 100 percent of what he has owed.

As the law does not require the release of any tax returns, the release of these 500+ pages of tax returns goes above and beyond what is required.

In addition, Gov. Romney has released numerous financial disclosures since 2002, as required by law – which have also been posted on this site. There are 3 federal Public Financial Disclosures (from 2007, 2011, and 2012), and 6 Massachusetts Statements of Financial Interests (from 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007).

If this is tit for tat regarding the birth certificate issue, it is weak and pitiful.

Bottom line, BHO is not worthy to continue to hold office.

Too bad for Obama those aren't the most important things people care about this election. Jobs and the economy are what people care about and Obamas record on that sucks, whether the criticism is fair or not. It is what it is.

I think a fair amount of voters would like to know how candidates stand on a particular issue. If elected, which Romney shows up for work? Will it be the Romney who (admirably) brought RomneyCare to Massachusetts, or the Romney who will fight tooth and nail to prevent the rest of the country from enjoying the benefits of RomneyCare? Will it be the Romney who opposes abortion, or the Romney who opposes restricting women's rights? Will it be …

Like McCain before him, if Romney had not taken a hard right turn with his positions, and instead ran as the moderate who has already found success in politics, he'd be much more electable in November. As it is, not only does he come across as too conservative, he also comes across as integrity deficient, changing his views whenever politically expedient, to pander for votes.

Moderate Republicans will be only something we can tell our grandchildren about, and they will never believe our stories that they once existed.

And how much of that was to the Church? I don't view that the same way I do to other charities.

Same thing with Obama's college transcripts. By law, they are not required to be released. There are lots of people around who think the reason he won't release that information is because he took student aid under an foreign student program.



Do they? That's hilarious, I'd not heard that one before. Since those people are clearly blinkered, partisan idiots it's not relly worth him responding to, is it?
