		<description>Ellen, 

The birth cert for Obama was already established as being uncertified.  The hospital he was born at sealed all records, and every court has refused to open them.  There has been no verification on his birth records ever provided by any legitimate authority.  By the way, there was a video that was circulated on Youtube of Obama admitting to another politician that he was not able to run for president because of this qualification.  Guess what, Youtube pulled it off and no one can access it anymore.  This president is the dirtiest president since Clinton, and Clinton was filthy.</description>

		<description>I saw that h/t, too, CG - and when I read that thing abt Brazile in my Parade, I abt threw up!  She is SUCH a backstabber, and frankly, she just doesn&#039;t seem that smart to me.  HOW did she get so much power??  

And this isn&#039;t really O/T since she shilled SO heavily for Obama during the Primary.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Linda, and yes, it would certainly seem so...

Like many others, I was a registered Dem for 32 yrs, and have really been a Dem my entire life.  But the party clearly seems to have lost sight of what the meaning of the word DEMOCRATIC.  When votes don&#039;t count, and are completely ignored to prop up the one chosen by the &quot;Elite,&quot; well, it&#039;s take for them to change their name...</description>

		<description>Annie-your post is a load of rubbish - and full of lies to boot.  Please prove that Obama was NOT born in the US - a birth certificate (even if you don&#039;t think it was legitimate, Hawaii says it is) has been provided.  you just don&#039;t want to accept it as being so.  are you seriously going to spend any further time on this topic?  the courts have thrown out every one of these lawsuits re his citizenship.  give it up-you are a joke!</description>

		<description>thank you RRRAmy.  Now that we have some committee names should we start a strategy of fact presentation, ha?  Oh that&#039;s right, I think those of us who complained about the undemocratic process got tossed out of our party...  But seriously, there are a few names on the list that I don&#039;t recognize.  Do you or Will know if all of them are Obamacrats; are there any that are Democrats that believe in democracy?</description>

		<description>agree, but these reforms don&#039;t stand a chance of seeing the light of day if Obama decides he wants the next 4 years unfortunately.  BTW, Ginger, you might be wondering about the h/t Ginger for the Donna Brazile post.  I am not trying to shanghai your name but I confused SusanUnPC because my &lt;strong&gt; email address&lt;/strong&gt; includes Ginger, but I post comments here at NQ as CG.  Sorry if you were wondering who might be using your name, not my intention.</description>

		<description>Bear in mind, MrMike, that the GOP ALSO holds caucuses.
In 2008, before Super Tuesday, of the 10 states making delegate selections, 5 were caucuses (though Louisiana&#039;s was to select district delegates) and 1 was a &quot;convention&quot; (essentially the same as a caucus).  Of the 21 Super Tuesday states, 6 were caucuses (Montana&#039;s caucus was special--only party leaders and other pre-credentialed persons were allowed to vote).  Following Super Tuesday, 7 states and territories held caucuses.
Additionally, some states held both caucuses and primaries with different levels of importance.  Montana&#039;s caucus, for instance, selected the delegates to the Convention while a later primary was a purely non-binding matter (held several months after the caucus winner--Mitt Romney--had dropped out of the race).  Louisiana&#039;s caucus and primary delegate selection process was almost byzantine in its formula (the district-level delegates were chosen at the caucus while at-large delegates were chosen through the primary, but a state convention would be held if nobody won a majority of the primary vote) and Washington selected some of its delegates from the caucus and some from the primary (with some party officers being automatic delegates--&quot;superdelegates&quot;, if you will).
The major difference, though, between the Democratic nomination process and the GOP process is the GOP&#039;s willingness to go &quot;winner-take-all&quot; or very close to it.  McCain, for instance, won less than 43% of the primary vote in California but wound up with 116 of the State&#039;s 119 delegates.  In New York, he won just under 50% of the vote but got the State&#039;s total 101 delegates, and in Florida (even with the GOP&#039;s stripping the State of half its delegates), McCain won all 57 delegates at-stake despite winning only 36% of the primary vote.</description>

		<description>It would seem if you truly want &quot;reform&quot; of the election process, you might want to remove the questions regarding candidate&#039;s eligibility for POTUS.  The Democrat&#039;s response?  Scorn, demean, same ole, same ole.  

Why is it that these reactions always make me feel that they have so much to hide?  Otherwise, what&#039;s the harm of putting into place a provision to have concrete evidence provided by every candidate for POTUS regardless of party?  It would cost zero and provide a much needed assurance to the voters that their elected officials take the constitution seriously.  Wait, what am I saying? They spit on the constitution every day. Well, a woman can dream...

In the meantime, I&#039;d like to let Rep. Posey know I support his effort. 


U.S. Rep. Bill Posey

A new member of Congress arrived in Washington to a flood of questions from his constituency about Barack Obama&#039;s eligibility to be president: Was he really born in the United States, and was he qualified under the Constitution&#039;s requirement that the office be occupied only by a &quot;natural born&quot; citizen?

&lt;strong&gt;So U.S. Rep. Bill Posey did what most congressmen would do regarding a subject of grave concern to their voters: He proposed a bill that would require future presidential candidates to document their eligibility. And that has earned him scorn and ridicule.&lt;/strong&gt;

&quot;What you should do is stop embarrassing yourself and take the Reynolds Wrap off your head,&quot; MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann suggested to Posey.

U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, has gone so far as to suggest that Posey&#039;s judgment is skewed.

&quot;It&#039;s one thing to try to be responsive to your constituents, no matter how marginal,&quot; Abercrombie told the St. Petersburg Times. &quot;I understand that. But to take it to the point of putting it into a bill -- you open yourself up, then, to having your judgment questioned.&quot;

Abercrombie said legislation generally is to &quot;address common issues or concerns.&quot;

&quot;The citizenship of someone who has reached the point of running for president of the United States is not really an issue,&quot; Abercrombie said.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama&#039;s status as a &quot;natural born citizen.&quot; The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, &quot;No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.&quot;

Where&#039;s the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the &quot;natural-born American&quot; clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 340,000 others and sign up now!

Some of the legal challenges question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama&#039;s American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama&#039;s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Further, others question his citizenship by virtue of his attendance in Indonesian schools during his childhood and question on what passport did he travel to Pakistan three decades ago.

Adding fuel to the fire is Obama&#039;s persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers. While his supporters cite an online version of a &quot;Certification of Live Birth&quot; from Hawaii, critics point out the documents actually were issued for children not born in the state.

&quot;Why&#039;d I do this?&quot; Posey wrote on his blog. &quot;Well, for a number of reasons and the more and more I get called names by leftwing activists, partisan hacks and political operatives for doing it, the more and more I think I did the right thing.&quot;

He said, &quot;I&#039;ve been called some pretty nasty things. That&#039;s fine. But none of these tolerant people actually want to discuss the issue at hand … whether or not a presidential candidate should have to file these documents with the government.

&quot;I could easily fill up a page listing all the activities an American needs to show their ID for … everything from playing youth soccer to getting a drivers license, buying cigarettes and alcohol, to opening bank accounts and even playing little league. So I was pretty surprised to find out that to run for president, despite the constitutional requirement and the media scrubbing that goes on, it&#039;s not required for a candidate to file these documents when they submit their statement of candidacy with the FEC,&quot; he said.

Posey comes from a background of reforming elections. In Florida after the 2000 recounts and lawsuits, he worked to offer solutions. So when he arrived in Washington, the questions raised by voters and his investigation of the constitutional demands led him to his suggestion.

&quot;I thought I could offer a solution to this question on eligibility,&quot; he wrote. &quot;There&#039;s nothing anyone can do about changing past elections… the president won. All the lawsuits in the world are not going to change that. But if what some folks are worried about – that presidential candidates don&#039;t have to submit to the same documentation that average folks have to submit to – well, then we can change that for the next election.&quot;

Posey cited an AOL poll that found three-quarters of Americans participating in the survey agreed.

&quot;I&#039;m willing to discuss this issue with anyone who wants to talk in a rational manner, but I WILL NOT engage in name calling, smear campaigns, or any other venomous activity,&quot; Posey wrote. &quot;For one thing, it&#039;s childish. But on another level, we&#039;re supposed to be able to have a civil debate on the issues in this country.&quot;</description>

<p>Other challenges have focused on Obama&#8217;s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.</p>
<p>Further, others question his citizenship by virtue of his attendance in Indonesian schools during his childhood and question on what passport did he travel to Pakistan three decades ago.</p>
<p>Adding fuel to the fire is Obama&#8217;s persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers. While his supporters cite an online version of a &#8220;Certification of Live Birth&#8221; from Hawaii, critics point out the documents actually were issued for children not born in the state.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why&#8217;d I do this?&#8221; Posey wrote on his blog. &#8220;Well, for a number of reasons and the more and more I get called names by leftwing activists, partisan hacks and political operatives for doing it, the more and more I think I did the right thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been called some pretty nasty things. That&#8217;s fine. But none of these tolerant people actually want to discuss the issue at hand … whether or not a presidential candidate should have to file these documents with the government.</p>
<p>&#8220;I could easily fill up a page listing all the activities an American needs to show their ID for … everything from playing youth soccer to getting a drivers license, buying cigarettes and alcohol, to opening bank accounts and even playing little league. So I was pretty surprised to find out that to run for president, despite the constitutional requirement and the media scrubbing that goes on, it&#8217;s not required for a candidate to file these documents when they submit their statement of candidacy with the FEC,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Posey comes from a background of reforming elections. In Florida after the 2000 recounts and lawsuits, he worked to offer solutions. So when he arrived in Washington, the questions raised by voters and his investigation of the constitutional demands led him to his suggestion.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought I could offer a solution to this question on eligibility,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing anyone can do about changing past elections… the president won. All the lawsuits in the world are not going to change that. But if what some folks are worried about – that presidential candidates don&#8217;t have to submit to the same documentation that average folks have to submit to – well, then we can change that for the next election.&#8221;</p>
<p>Posey cited an AOL poll that found three-quarters of Americans participating in the survey agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m willing to discuss this issue with anyone who wants to talk in a rational manner, but I WILL NOT engage in name calling, smear campaigns, or any other venomous activity,&#8221; Posey wrote. &#8220;For one thing, it&#8217;s childish. But on another level, we&#8217;re supposed to be able to have a civil debate on the issues in this country.&#8221;</p>

		<description>Hey, at this point it doesn&#039;t matter to me what they do to the National Democratic Party--I don&#039;t belong.  I&#039;ve put my state Democratic Party chairperson on notice about how unhappy I am with the national party and that if I see even a hint of the kind of crap going on in the state party, they can count on losing my support.  So far, we have two Senators accused by Rachel MadCow of being conservadems, and a bunch of latte liberals (I am guessing from Boulder) screaming about it to the party.  So I wrote to her to express my opposing position to theirs. 

She did mention all the complaints she heard about the caucuses, so if there are caucuses again--I just won&#039;t participate in any of it.  It was a total waste of my time and energy to be bamboozled and hoodwinked by his holy majesty, the Messiah.</description>
