Folks, I think the safe thing to say is, the best thing that ever happened to the Dem party was GWB, and now the best thing that ever happened to the Rep party is Obama.

Is there still a Republican party? I thought they were in the middle of self destructing.

@LoboGrandeApparently that’s all you Libs require? No wonder we’re in the trouble we’re in with Obama as President. As long as all you’re just infatuated with the first this or the first that being in office, making sure you’re competent for the job isn’t as important.

You’ve perfectly described Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-IL. Unfortunately born in Thailand.

You don’t HAVE to be born in the USA, but you need to have one parent who is an American.

-What we truly need, is a: female, mixed-minority, semi-disabled, veteran for a president-I know you didn’t mean this, but this is actually one of the best things you’ve ever posted….

@Sue LesterYou are correct, Tammy Duckworth is a “natural born citizen” because her father is an American citizen who can trace his roots back to Colonial America. The 1790 naturalization law:- “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens”.

’anyone not with you on your left becomes “liberal.”.Or Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot. They try to outdo each other in finding more outrageous epithets.

And when you as far to the right as you can be, EVERYONE else is to your left. That’s why Reagan wouldn’t be admitted to the GOP today.

White and male over 35 is not sufficient to be President.This is proven by the fact millions are all three and are not and never will be president.It turns out to not even be necessary since one became President who was not all three.

@Kara KalelThank you for showing the importance of looking at the big picture and not allowing a single issue to determine how you vote.
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace over 10 years ago
That’s because so many white males are so loveable.
