Sarah Palin : The Queen of the Run On Sentence talks about Birthers

 

Is Obama's birth a legitimate issue? No, Obama was called out on it during the primary election and the State of Hawaii verified that both the long and short form of his birth certificate were in order. Snopes.com even found announcements of his birth in two Hawaii newspapers.


Orly Taitz brought suit in three courts and failed to convince any the judges that the Obama birth is a legitimate issue. She now has to pay a $20,000 fine in one of the federal courts and faces disbarment in California. 


Even if Obama was foregn born, he could only be removed form office by impeachment. With a Democratic House and Senate, this would be impossible. Intrade gives the GOP a 36 per cent probability of recovering the US House in 2010. 


All the Birther issue really does in make the GOP rank and file look small and mean spirited. Palin would have been smarter to say the GOP needs to concentrate on the real issues facing Americans today. No one but extreme right wing nuts care about the Birther issue.


HUMPHRIES: Sarah Palin here on the Rusty Humphries Show. One of the questions Jason asks is would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?

PALIN: I think the public rightly is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue because I think there are enough members of the electorate that still want answers.
HUMPHRIES: Do you think it’s a fair question to be looking at?


PALIN: I think it’s a fair question just like I think past associations and past voting records. All of that is fair game. You know, I’ve got to tell you too, I think our campaign, the McCain-Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area. We didn’t call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were, and perhaps what their future plans were, and I don’t think that was fair to voters to not have done our job as candidates and a campaign to bring to light a lot of things that now we’re seeing manifest in the administration.

HUMPHRIES: I mean, truly if your past is fair game and your kids are fair game, certainly Obama’s past should be. I mean, we want to treat men and women equally, right?

PALIN: Hey, you know, that’s a great point. And that weird conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn’t my real son, and a lot of people that went "Well, you need to produce his birth certificate, you need to prove that he’s your kid," which we have done,  but yeah, so maybe we can reverse that, and use the same [inaudible] thinking on the other one.
