Only 42% of Republicans believe that President Obama was born in the United States.

Oh come on. Republicans are awesome. They are soo batshit insane and have such weak arguments you can not help but giggle at them. Hell I have been watching The View on youtube just for that Elisabeth Hasselbeck chick. It is just too much fun seeing her get slapped down on every damn topic. She is just too cute, like a adorable idiotic 5 year old at a table of adults.
Anyway I do not get why people have such a problem with Obama. He has been in power what? 8 months, and all he seems to be doing is fixing bushes mistakes and trying to stop the world from hating the US.

Anyway the only two politicians I really like are Jesse Ventura [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSra-McRZEc] and Kharn [http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs40/f/2009/011/6/1/Hail_to_the_Chief_by_Gannadene.jpg]. We need less republicans and democrats and more fething independents.

It's his actions that determine his presidency....not where he was born.

Wow, when Republicans have opinions, why is it ok to bash us?

Because this particular opinion is bat shit insane.

That 42% are why every one in the rest of the world thinks we are all idiots.

Obama had to get clearance from the FBI, NSA and CIA before they tell him anything (before World War 2, military intelligence took FDR off the list of people with top secret clearance temporarily because he threw away a document deemed classified in a waste bin) so they would have said something by now.

Actually its 58%. The 42% is how many republicans believe he was born in America.

Wow, I found it so unbelievable I unconsciously switched the numbers. Really Republicans?
You honestly believe the democrats put a foreign citizen in the White House and you guys were too weak to stop it?

All I know is, if the republicans are seriously considering Sarah Palin to run next time, Barack Obama is a shoe in. And it seems to me that at least on tv, dems critisizing reps go after there policies and you know, valid things, glen beck the other day said that Obama hates white people. You supposed real republicans are letting these people dig your grave for you.

You do know that 75.88799% of statistics are made up on the spot, right?

THANK YOU. I personally find the idea that over half the Republicans BELIEVE that crap is... well, crap.

Again, let me bring up the infamous Swiftboat conspiracy theory that emerged during the 2004 campaign, and which made a big difference in Bush's favor during the election. Like it or not, no idea is so stupid that it can't be accepted by the majority. It's hard for intelectuals like the majority of the Escapist's clientelle seem to be to accept that so many people could believe something so blatantly stupid as the birther nonsense, but that's because we're not used to accepting things with absolute blind faith. The unfortunate fact, however, is that people are willing to believe crazy things like this birther shit, a lot of people for that matter.
