You're saying if someone is born in a city they can't be a president....now THAT'S a great way to pick a candidate.. Heaven forbid you should check their ADULT experience, platforms, ideas, published writing, debates, voting record, ....just whether or not they had an outhouse...OK! OMG! Republicans! LOL!
People who have lived in big cities all of their lives are bubble boys. Politicians and the national news media think think there are only urban issues and suburban, small town and rural issues are minor ones they have to deal with but it doesn't light the firecracker under their respective butts. I'm sick of it. If they are governors or mayors they probably live in big cities now but if they have ever lived anyplace else at least they know the entire US doesn't revolve around big city issues. Perhaps if they actually set foot in parts of flyover country when they weren't campaigning, they would know this and wouldn't think ideas and values of middle America are extreme.

Gingrich is also not fit to be president. His catholic new wife....(he dumped his former wife) and now counts himself a catholic. That is a more Un-Godly cult than any of the denoinations...

Like....he doesn't have a chance.
