Since El Luchador wanted to take it to a new post, that can be answered.
#1. Which candidate was not born in the United States? McCain was born on American soil. Every military base is sovereign American territory. This is about as factual as Obama isnt really a citizen or he attended a madrasa as a youth.
#2. First term Governor of a weak state. George W was the first Governor in Texas history to be re-elected to consecutive four year terms. And if you think its a weak state, take a drive with me to Dallas. I have some friends who’d teach you what weak is.
#3. The Republican party left you. Great. I left the Republican Party a long time ago. I never voted for George W. Either time. In 2000, I worked in DC for the Reform Party. I ran its National Campaign office and then its website. You mistake someone who stands up and points to one group of dolts as hanging with the other group. An easy mistake of logic. Better luck next time.
What happend to cutting spending, cutting taxes, a balanced budget amendment, not going into a foreign country without clear definable and achievable goals and a clear exit strategy once those goals were accomplished?
I’m with you there. But try and make sure you have your facts straight before you post them.
Terry,
The question was “which candidate was not born in the United States?” the answer is still John McCain. The base McCain was born on, to my knowledge was not located in what was at the time the 48 states.
People keep harping that Obama was born in Kenya. I always say that it doesn’t matter even if he was, because the Constitution states that someone has to be a “natural born American” which anyone who is born to an American parent is a “natural born American” regardless of the location of their birth. Obama’s mother is American so he is American even if he was born in Kenya.
Texas has a weak state government. Their state legislature meets once every two years. You are right about GWB, he was re-elected in 1998. I meant to say that Republicans considered someone for President who had been Governor for only 1 term in a weak state government.
The Republican Party diatribe was not meant to classify you, it was to let you know where I’m coming from, that I’m not some left winger who will stand by Obama no matter what. I voted for Bob Barr.
Then we are on the same page. Let’s both be sure we keep that in mind going forward. Looking forward to more posts!
Geez, Terry, are you still at it?
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. End of story.
