After watching this history Channel show on the anti-Christ I'm starting to see where this nutjobs get the idea that Obama is the anti-Christ. Basically take any sort of non-conservative idea or action, and that is a sign of the anti-Christ. Creating a multinational currency like the Euro? Sign of the anti-Christ. A good looking, articulate speaker? That's an anti-Christ right thar.
I finally get it, anything that is thought of as a liberal ideal is a sign of the anti-Christ, it all makes sense now in a
ed up kind of way.

Not only do facts not matter, refuting stupid arguments gives legitimacy to people who make stupid arguments.
If I were to argue that President Obama was made from peanut butter, no government official would bother to try to refute my claim. There's a reason for that; I expect the same courtesy be extended to birthers.

Guh - I see no reason for the Governor of Hawaii to be wasting time to attempt to rewrite laws in order to release Obama's actual Birth Certificate.
There is absolutely nothing stopping Obama from requesting a copy and releasing it to every news source in the country if he wanted to.

I love your responses Bob. You could talk about how ridiculous these birther people are, but instead you take an almost apologist position and say he could do exactly what you know he shouldn't do, and that's respond to them by showing a birth certificate. It's ridiculous in the same way that O'Donnell was for making that "I am not a witch" ad.
Maybe I'm out of line, but you almost seem to think these people are onto something.

You are correct - I responded by saying that Obama *could* show his birth certificate. Additionally, he could respond by going on national TV and telling the "birthers" "Hey, eat a box of doughnuts.". However, that second option doesn't really have much to do with the idea of the Governor of Hawaii attempting to re-write law in order to release his birth certificate.
All I'm saying is if Obama really thought it was something worth addressing, he could do it himself instead of the Governor trying to take matters into his own hands.

Where is evidence that people demanded (or continue to demand) that John McCain prove he is a US citizen?
I was just thinking of this earlier. If he'd been named Barry O'Bama, born in Hawaii to an American mother and Irish father, there never would have been any question of his citizenship. But because he has a foreign sounding name and his father was Kenyan, everybody wants to see his papers.

You're right - you can't compare questions regarding McCain's eligibility for candidacy based on his birth location to questions regarding Obama's eligibility for candidacy based on his birth location. Because one of those two guys are black. That makes them incomparable in any way what so ever.

While, personally, I'd struggle to use the descriptor of "full-fledged" you are correct. However, McCain didn't become president - he's just a senator. I don't recall any "birther" movement around Obama when he was a present Senator.

"How did Republican leaders reconcile their purported deep concern about budget deficits with their advocacy of large tax cuts? Was it that old voodoo economics — the belief, refuted by study after study, that tax cuts pay for themselves — making a comeback? No, it was something new and worse.
To be sure, there were renewed claims that tax cuts lead to higher revenue. But 2010 marked the emergence of a new, even more profound level of magical thinking: the belief that deficits created by tax cuts just don’t matter. For example, Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona — who had denounced President Obama for running deficits — declared that “you should never have to offset the cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans.”
...
"It’s an easy position to ridicule. After all, if you never have to offset the cost of tax cuts, why not just eliminate taxes altogether?"
So if taxes don’t matter, does the incoming majority have a realistic plan to cut spending? Of course not. Republicans say that they want to cut $100 billion in spending, which is itself small change in a $3.6 trillion federal budget. But they also say that defense, Medicare and Social Security — all the big-ticket items — are off the table. So they’re talking about a 20 percent cut in what’s left, which includes things like running the judicial system and operating the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; they have offered no specifics about where the cuts will fall."
--------------------------
Anyone who pays attention should realize Cons (and quite frankly many congressional Democrats) don't give a.
They will make up anything they can to justify getting what they want, that at the very least is expected. The real problem is that the media as a whole lets them get away with this shit.

I heard Boehner saying something like we're going to do business differently now.
Then I read a story where Eric Cantor strongly implied they wouldn't let Democrats attach & vote on amendments to the ACA repeal bill. This, after the outcry that Republicans couldn't attach amendments to the original ACA.
Stay classy.

Boehner promised openness and transparency in government today, January 5th - inviting thorough debate on the floor for all issues.
On Monday of this week House Republicans set aside January 12th, or one week from today, to vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Stay classy, emo speaker.

So, is the idea of wholesale not letting the opposing party bring amendments to vote a good idea or bad idea? Either thumbs up for the Republicans for doing it now, or shame on the Democrats for doing it then. Odd, I don't remember anyone really speaking out against it then.

Your old troll tactic used to be repeatedly asking 'why' like a 3 year-old until folks just realized they were wasting their time on a simpleton.
Now it's "I never heard you argue this point before, ergo you just changed your mind", the insinuation being that this is an expedient decision made for less-then-honest reasons.

I dont really mind the singular fact that the Republicans arent letting the dems add amendments to the health care repeal bill. I want the minority completely shut out whenever possible. However, what I do mind is hypocrisy. If you say you want to run things a certain way, or that you have a particular set of values, and then you do the opposite, thats a problem - even if I dont have a problem with the particular action had it taken place in a vacuum.
For another example: I dont really mind adultery. Its not a value that I have. So I dont really care when people do this. However, when SOME people run on a particular set of values and then do this, its a problem.

I hear this alot and I admit it was funny the first 17 times.
But seriously, it's starting to get on my nerves - because it's dopey.
I highly doubt that 'white lies' bother people so much. Everyone tells their significant other that they dont look fat in their jeans, whether its true or not.
The fact is that we (and as 'we' I refer to rational folks on this board) cannot stand theers who go around critiquing our politician's extracurricular activities as if it has anything to do with their ability to govern. It may be funny when a conservative Christian politician gets caught in the bathroom stall with prostitutes, but the fact is that the xian cons are assholes before they are caught, and they're just as much assholes after.
