please do. i'd love to see a comparative cost analysis of vacations from the past 5-10 presidents adjusted for inflation. i'd also like to see it compared against the average daily cost of the presidency while at the white house.

Rep. Deal wants Obama to prove citizenship

WASHINGTON -- Republican gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal says he wants the president to prove he is an American citizen
LOL! Nathan Deal. Big "Deal".

Besides, I am speaking about the current crop of GOP hopefuls. Not a peep about this silliness from a single one of them during any of the debates, which is quite telling. It means they too know that it's a lunatic's daydream.

My point is that all the crying about his father being a British subject and his mother being "only 18" means nothing.

The hallmark of the die-hard conspiracy theorist.
So...what is untrue about who owns/runs snopes and who they support?

You have support of this? OF course you dont'

Snopes has been called right wing, left wing, conseravite and liberal. they have never endorsed or made public of their endorsements of any candidate.

and this is nothing but an attack on the arguer, not the argument.

Funny, articles from 2003/2004 touting this "Kenyan-born" Senator get short shift from the media.
looks like you got suckered by a bogus story. Alas, it isn't the first time....

That they are in on a conspiracy theory. Also, you conveniently omitted the part that I took issue with. I sure hope you didn't think you were being clever.

I'm sure that the couple who owns Snopes is personally responsible for every article on their site.

So yeah, someone has a political bent, and we're just supposed to toss everything that they say out the window?

So I can safely disregard everything said on FOX News and all of your and the other righties claims here, because you lean right? Would that be logical?

Better that than an election....

What story are you talking about? The AP story that said obama was Kenyan-born, way, way, way before he decided to run for president?

AHEM.

I thought that the whole ultra-liberal Jewish couple thing sounded all wrong, especially given their last name...

"For the record: We're not Jewish (not that it should matter to anyone save anti-semites), we don't live in the San Fernando Valley (and never have), and neither one of us is a Democrat ("liberal" or otherwise). Barbara's a Canadian citizen who couldn't possibly have an affiliation with a U.S. political party, and I'm officially registered as an independent. Neither of us has ever made a donation to a political party or candidate, worked on behalf of a political campaign (either on a paid or volunteer basis), or publicly endorsed or supported any party, candidate, or political cause (not even to the extent of displaying a bumper sticker, putting up a yard sign, or wearing a campaign button). Someone didn't know how to do basic investigative research, and it wasn't us."
