Arizona Going Birther?

Is this repub group totally reduced to lies and deceptions to win elections? It seems like after the years of lil bush and the Dick cheney, that they would learn, you can't bully the american people into submission of your egotistical whims and the backlaash for the attempt is total defeat (at the polls).

So as usual, in order to try to get Mr. Obama, they are now willing to throw Mccain under the bus. Why would anyone want to be affiliated with such low down and no good people?

I'm just curious, but how can you spend 2 million dollars to prevent a public record from being accessed. How could the state of Hawaii acknowledge he is a citizen, so I wonder, to repubs is the hawaiin governmnet liberal and socialist and all the other ism's that they throw around, so it seems the repubs don't want any of hawaiis votes? So the state of Illinois has been duped by Mr. Obama to the point that he could campaign and win but yet all the time knowinghe is not from the US.

They say if you repeat a lie enough there are some fools that will believe it's true, but this one only appears to be total paranoia and infuriation by the repubs, which is causing them to be proud of all the illegal and immoral activities that they participate in.

That's not american, you are reducing yourselves, at least morally, as the least amongst us!

my birth certificate when I got my driver's license and passport. If I ever run for president I would hope that somebody would want to see it.

I'd be interested in seeing your source for that number. Quoting Glen beck doesn't count.

Liberals have no pride and have no shame. If being a birther means that the President of the United States has to follow the same rules that my little league son has to follow, then count me in. Why has Obama spent close to $2 million keeping this document hidden? Liberals in the media refuse to ask this question because they are more concerned with protecting their savior and more interested in how much money Sara Palin paid for her wardrobe then they are in reporting the news. Millions of Americans want this question answered and calling them all "right wing nuts" will not make this problem go away for Obama. Liberals....I thought you prided yourselves on being truth seekers, so I ask you again..."why has Obama spent nearly $2 million to keep his long form birth certificate out of the public eye"?
