Regardless of whether they have “doubts” about Obama’s eligibility to be president or whether they consider the issue a “distraction,” Republicans in Congress are repeating a common refrain: “Let’s just forget about it and focus on the next election.”
A pair of videos from earlier this week shows members of the House being confronted by voters on lingering questions about documents Obama presented as “proof” of his U.S. birth and citizenship. In both cases, the voters mentioned an investigation by Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse that concluded Obama’s purported long-form birth certificate and Selective Service registration card are actually forgeries.
The responses the representatives gave were both very different and very similar.
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., dismissed his constituents’ concerns outright.
“I think he [Obama] is our president. I think he was duly elected, and I believe he is a citizen. And I do believe [the eligibility question] is a distraction,” Flake told a meeting of the Red Mountain Tea Party in Arizona. “My job is to make sure we beat him in November.”

If the GOP were a Legitimate party and really wanted to WIN, they’d do it the EASY way by SHOWING that their main opponent, obama, is a FRAUD.
So, they’re not trying to win becoming president. they’re playing some other Lesser game, probably involving getting a promise by the Elite that they’ll get to be put in some other Cushy situation.
“THEY” are all TRAITORS !!
Yep, that’s our emasculated Republican Party as run by RINO’s, no cajones at all and not enough brains to keep respect in the office of the electeds….
Here is the Funny thing about Birthers,
they want Obama to PROVE Over, and Over he was born in the USA,
but they Do NOT want People to have to PROVE who they are to VOTE.
It is called – GOP Logic NOT.
LVKen7, how could you be more wrong?
Obama has NEVER proved what he CAN’T! He wasn’t, his mother got stuck in Kenya, too pregnant to fly back and had too wait till after he was born. Exactly four days old, she flew him back to HI. All he has that isn’t a forgery, is the certificate of live birth, available to kids coming into the state, as old as 4 years. Besides, his stated father was never a US citizen, thus denying him of ever being “Natural Born”!
And it is the Democrats that don’t want voters to have to produce an ID! Get your facts straight before you “open your mouth”!
Wow, you really are out there aren’t you LV,,hahah, First off what you said makes NO SENSE. The Demorat party is the PARTY THAT DOESN’T want vote ID at the polls moron. You know that way the can have DEAD People Vote,, Illegals Vote,,People vote MORE than once,,. Oh my lord you are stupid,,hahahah. Oh and NO we Don’t want obama to prove over and over about his BC, WE just want him to prove it ONCE,, every other person that ran for President has had too, What because his skin is black he doesn’t have to follow the same rules,, I know thats what you people think ,,,again,, I will show you fake papers so YEP,, Like I said earlier in a post, I AM The King of SPAIN,,,, So,, off with you head idiot,, Dam and People LIKE YOU are ALLOWED to vote.We are in such trouble in America if there are more like YOU OUT THERE.
LV, either you’re just finishing 3rd grade, or you’re just a complete moroon! There wouldn’t be a birthers if Obammy would just release the standard documents as requested by the American people! But, this socialist non-citizen don’t have any documents, because his entire Presidency is a FRAUD! Obama can prove everyone wrong, by releasing a paper copy of his BC and Harvard school loan information.
Funny thing about the liberal left (and that includes LVKen7) is that they cannot thing logically. The DEMOCRATS don’t want voter ID. And there is not one shred of PROOF that Obama is fit to be President.
Lovely how you guys are at lying not only to yourselves, but to the world at large.
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz says “My job is to make sure we beat him in November.”
If this is all this congressman thinks about his job then WE DON’T NEED HIM EITHER. I think we need to totally clean house in 2012. Congress is not doing its job and we don’t have to put up with it. Forget party and just vote for someone else.
Glad you said it before I did, Walt!
THE HOUSE GOP doesn’t want to be bothered with the truth! These democrats are exzactly what we’ve been calling them all along, RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SEWER RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
House Rep. Issa was a co-sponsor in an attempt at removing natural born citizen from the Constitution:
On June 11, 2003 Democrat House member Vic Snyder [AR-2] introduced H.J.R 59 in the 108th Congress. It read, “Constitutional Amendment – Makes a person who has been a citizen of the United States for at least 35 years and who has been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years eligible to hold the office of President or Vice President.”
Co-Sponsors were: Rep Conyers, John, Jr. [MI-14]; Rep Delahunt, William D. [MA-10]; Rep Frank, Barney [MA-4]; Rep Issa, Darrell E. [CA-49]; Rep LaHood, Ray [IL-18]; Rep Shays, Christopher [CT-4].
There were eight attempts in 22 months trying to pave the way for the ineligible Obama. They appeared to to be ensuring that “born in Kenya” would not be a problem, as well as the need for two citizen parents. When this did not work, Barry’s enablers changed Barry’s birth place from Kenya to Hawaii and figured they could just blow off the two citizen parent requirement by making “native born” and “natural born” interchangeable.
You can read the other attempts at this website: http://www.art2superpac.com/issues.html#Attempts%20to%20Redefine%20or%20Amend%20Article%20II
There are links which will take you to the bills on the actual House website if you want to read them at there source.
The above was NOT by me, but I agree with the original writer.
This pretty much clears up the matter that Obama is NOT a “natural born citizen” but only a “citizen”.
What we, as citizens desiring that the rule of law be honored, must file criminal complaints, recall petitions and whatever else it takes to uncover and remove all elements of the conspiracy to place Obama into the position that he is now occupying illegally.
Frankly, I propose that now is the time to propose that a Constitutional amendment be framed requiring ALL Federal government positions be held by “natural born citizens, specifically of parents of United States citizenship” so that usurpers and those with ties and/or allegences to other countries cannot and shall not interfere with the government and people of the United States of America. In this way, Congress and the courts cannot be infiltrated and influenced by those not being loyal to the United States.
Let’s go one further: Why not make the same requirement for all state government positions?
If you agree with the above, spread the idea around to other web sites.
