MORE FROM THE VOICE

STORY TOOLS

Another explosive video is circulating on the Internet. This one challenges the natural-born citizenship of presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg, a lifelong Democrat, filed a lawsuit August 21st demanding that Obama present his birth certificate proving that he is a natural-born citizen of the United States. Obama has refused. Why?

Over 3 million people have viewed it so far.

US Constitution, Article II, Section 1 - Age and Citizenship requirements -

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

In the video Berg suspected the Judge might dismiss the lawsuit. U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick did just that on October 24th ruling that the claim was "too vague and too attenuated (weak)" and "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

Let us suppose you were right and that Obama was not born in Hawaii.

He WAS born in Hawaii. I’ve seen pictures of his birth certificate (or maybe certificate of live birth, I forget which), and there is a confirming notice in the Hawaii Advertiser. But suppose on a wild chance that this was wrong.

Suppose that this fact were to be proven before the election. Would this help make McCain elected president? No. It would merely make Joe Biden the presidential candidate of the Democratic party.

Would Biden win just like Obama would? Sure.

Would he win even BIGGER than Obama would? Maybe. You can’t call him inexperienced or a terrorist or a friend of Ayers, nor would people who vote against Obama because of his race or alleged Arab ties or alleged Moslem religion vote against Biden.

Biden would get all the votes of Obama and maybe a few more.

Suppose it was proven after the election. Would that make McCain the president? No. If the Congress really bought the fact that Obama was not naturally born in the USA, and that Obama was not eligible to be president (which is a stretch because it is controlled by Democrats), then Biden would be president.

So, what is the point?

It's pointless to discuss this, focus on the fact the Dem's want to take away 401(k)'s, cut military spending by 25% and increase cap gains taxes.

You'll be served much better by focusing on real, verifiable things that come out of their own mouths.
