   Rightasrain–you bring up a good point. I am sure there are brilliant potential presidents out there but who in their right mind would WANT to be president if it entailed having every single aspect of your life, (spouse’s and kid’s) out there for all the world to see? (except for some reason Obama’s–his is private)–somehow we need to make it as easy on them as its been for Obama. (maybe not quiiite as easy)

   O/T: Sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but it`s important and scary. Mark Davis, subbing for Rush just mentioned it; Ann Barnhardt wrote Aug. 18, 2011, http://barnhardt.biz/ that the American Psychiatric Assn. (APA) is moving to normalize pedophilia. Folks, this will remove a stumbling block to sharia law in the USA. Sharia law and the koran “condone, allow, even encourage” mostly adult males to have sex with children of both genders.

   It seems each new day brings reason for a whole new level of disdain for all things islam !

   I heard that too. And they have renamed pedophiles “minor-attracted adults”. This gets sicker every day. God cannot be pleased. And He will not be mocked! There is a moral disease permeating the world and we must fight against it with everything we have. Evil is strong, but it is also easy to spot.

   Has anyone noticed that commercial with the little girl in a scant swim suit in the water, jumping over the waves, etc. Her swim suit is very flimsy and clings to her body. Then she walks away and looks almost naked. She is about 7 or 8 years old. Every time I see that I think of the pedophiles who get off on stuff like that. Why do they put that kind of commercial on the air? Are they that blind? Or am I just a sick-minded old fool? Don’t answer that, please! I really think the commercial is a bad one and it has been running for quite some time now. I can’t even remember what the product is, but I don’t think it has anything to do with little girls jumping over ocean waves.

   .. I just find Rubio an intrigueing prospect for future leadership,..

   I agree. It’s just a matter of how we get there with integrity as opposed to wishful thinking.

   Meanwhile BOT. Romney can make some great statements but I still have a hard time believing that HE believes them with conviction or is he just blowin’ in the wind.

   My point is that if Rubio is not eligible & it’s proven that he isn’t, then I won’t vote for him.

   If it is proven he is not eligible (not just you think it has been proven he is not eligible), then he won’t be on the ballot.

   My point is that it is not your job as a voter to decide Supreme Court cases. It is your job to pick people you think will uphold the Constitution.

   As to the question of your morality or hypocrisy or whatever it is with regard to your complaints about Obama’s eligibility, if you think the biggest problem with Obama is his eligibility ….. well, again, you are riding Phil’s screwy train.

   Reality matters.

   There are two sides to every vote:

   1) Who you are voting FOR.

   2) Who you are voting AGAINST.

   If you can’t vote FOR someone who is in the race on election day, your job as a voter is to stop the worst one from damaging the Republic.

   If it comes to that on election day, some damage will be done. It is already a fact. Your job is to minimize the damage, not to ride on some moral high horse/unicorn facing backwards shouting “I am not a noseholder! I am a man of principle!”

   Nobody cares about your ego or what you think are your principles when you are doing the clearly wrong thing.

   Going forward, Trumka said, the labor movement will build up its own political structures and organizations rather than contribute to and depend on the Democratic Party’s political operation.

    With President Barack Obama playing golf and getting briefed on the approaching Hurricane Irene on Martha’s Vineyard yesterday, his daughters, Sasha and Malia, took an excursion to Nantucket.

    President Obama’s daughters arrived at noon in a private, 40-foot boat, which was escorted into the harbor by a Coast Guard cutter, according to a source with knowledge of the girls’ trip to the island.

He gets my vote & all my support. I think I wasn’t stating best what I wanted to say which is this: just b/c obambi got away with it doesn’t mean our side should do the same.

    We`re in agreement. As I understand it, Marco was born in the US before his parents became “naturalized citizens”, though they had begun the process. I “think” he was 2 ish when his parents completed the process. I`d be fine with giving him a pass on this one, seeing as how all his records are available and verifiable and he and his parents are allegiant to the USA !

    Both require that both parents be citizens at the time of the child’s birth (allegiance is an adequate substitute for this purpose).

    Explain this. If allegiance is an adequate substitute, you have Rubio’s parents who swore allegience to the U.S. and were waiting to become citizens. Rubio was born here of parents who fled Cuba because of persecution and were diligently working toward full citizenship, which they did achieve. Sounds like allegiance to me.

    First, at what point did they swear allegiance? Where’s the proof of this oath or affirmation of fealty?
    Second, “allegiance” is adequate because it speaks of allegiance to a king. We don’t have a king.
    Third, I don’t subscribe to Blackstone, but to Vattel. Allegiance is adequate for a Blackstone interpretation, but a Blackstone interpretation does not solve the concern the Founding Fathers had; to ensure that the commander in chief not only was loyal to the U.S., but had no possibly conflicting loyalties. A Moslem can swear allegiance and be lying through his teeth. Only the Vattel definition secures the purpose of Article 2 section 1. As such, it must be the definition the Founding Father’s followed, or else they would have worded it differently. They were literate men in a literate age, and knew the difference between “natural” and “native”.

    It isn’t worth the ongoing expense or casualties, especially by inflicting our troops with PC rules of engagement and behavior to make it more difficult to maintain morale and do their jobs.

    National Archives:Marco Rubio is NOT a Natural Born Citizen
    

    The link above are the papers of one Mario Rubio, for anyone interested in reading through them.

    And as Leo Donofrio has pointed out, Justia.com was censoring references to US Supreme Court cases which cite Minor v. Happersett as precedent for the citizenship issue. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/

    This will come to a head before the next election.

    My guess is it will be Perpura v. Sebelius, but we will see some action in Taitz v. Astrue in the next three weeks. The courts in Hawaii gave the HDOH a month to generate a new birth certificate.
