But there is nothing he can do to keep the President off the ballot.


Apparently, no it's not. Else Hawaii would not have told him to **** off and die.


I belive that Don9 already covered that above. To paraphrase: Because we live in a society where we all must play by the rules or the laws and Bennett or any Secretary of State is not above the law.

I guess you just don't understand that the Arizona legislature passed a law that says unless one can prove he was born in the US he can't be on the Arizona ballot. Do you know who runs elections in Arizona? It appears you don't. It sure isn't some obscure lawyer in Hawaii though.

You really don't see that Obama has the hole to climb out of if Hawaii doesn't do what they must do. You really don't understand that the US doesn't run the elections in Arizona, do you?

Apparently that obscure lawyer went beyond her powers when she required the State of Arizona to jump through her hoops. Arizona is still running that election and they can determine what hoops candidates have to jump through to get their names on the ballot.

It appears to me that one Barack Hussein Obama really believes he can determine whose name is on a ballot. He has no court decision about this one yet and it is getting pretty close to time for him to convince the State of Arizona that he can fit that spot. Play games about Bennet but remember that his was just doing his job as required by Arizona law.

Obama has played that game about Arizona in the courts and maybe he will just have to come through this time. You do know that Arizona is not the only state that has passed a law like this one, don't you?

Yep, Bennet is following the law of his state. When will you see that?

Do you have some kind of proof of what you just said? Maybe you need to dig it up, if you can

Actually... that's the wonderfully funny irony here. The reason Hawaii has told him to go pound sand is because it's not his job. They have now given him multiple opportunities to prove that it is... and he has failed to accomplish that seemingly trivial task.

The fact that it actually is about Birthers is proven by his e-mails to his Birther constituents in which he tacitly admits that he's been neck deep in the issue for three years.

Birthism is just the gift that keeps on giving. By the time Obama finishes his second term, Birthism will have destroyed the credibility of more Republican politicians than even secret homosexuality or Oxycontin abuse.
You let a whole pile of Pelosi hang out with that statement. You do think that Limbaugh is a Republican leader though, don't you? I feel for you but just can't reach that far.

The governor vetoed it.

As a result... the rest of your post is an uninformed fail.

Alas... he was not. He was asked by the State of Hawaii to prove otherwise, and he could not do so.

That's why he just rolled over like Fido.

I have no choice. Republicans pick their leaders, not me... and they have picked Limbaugh to be among them.

Unless you intended that homoerotically, I can't make heads or tails of that comment either.

The problem is that he is not following the laws of the state that actually holds the birth certificate.
