The birthers... they continue on in elected positions.

A GOP-controlled board in Kansas is trying to decide whether to remove President Obama from the state ballot over objections about his birth certificate.

The State Objections Board -- consisting of three of the state's top Republican elected officials -- ruled Thursday it did not yet have enough information and postponed a decision until Monday.

"I don't think it's a frivolous objection," Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told the Topeka Capital-Journal. "I do think the factual record could be supplemented."

Obama has long battled questions about the authenticity of his birth certificate and the legitimacy of his presidency. He released his long-form birth certificate in April 2011, which shows he was born in Hawaii. At the time, Obama said he was trying to end the "silliness" that has been sparked by people known as "birthers" who doubt he was born in the United States.

Kobach is an informal adviser to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has said repeatedly that he believes Obama was born in the United States. The state attorney general and lieutenant governor are also on the Kansas Objections Board.

This won't happen ... cooler heads will prevail.

Got to admire the GOP voter suppression efforts. They certainly don't do it on a retail level. They are inspired by Stalin "It's not the people who vote that count, it the people who count the votes."

 

[Jaskalas]

I believe they'll lose.

This is ridiculous and absolutely should not be allowed. The standing President should absolutely be on all presidential ballots as long as he is within term limits.

Why in the world would they pull this kind of bullshit in a state that Romney has in the bag anyway?

Continued birtherism is only damaging to the Republicans and Romney (who has already said this issue is entirely unfounded).

I wonder if Obama is secretly hoping Kansas does remove him from the ballot :sneaky:

 

[Incorruptible]

If a president doesn't do his job properly then they shouldn't be on the ballot. If they abandon the oath then remove them from the ballot.

But as much as I dislike that pos disgusting human being barky Kansas must put him back on the ballot

Like we need more evidence of the pathology of the conservative brain.

Eh, I'm not sure about hoping; but it would be hilarious. Not only would it link the "birther" movement to mainstream Republicans again and quite possibly send the Romney campaign into an unrecoverable tailspin, but the government could deny Kansas its seats in the Senate and House because of it.

So what you're saying is that the President is upholding his oath of office and doing his job properly. Good to know. :thumbsup:

I never said that

I really hope they do this. I think it would be hillarious and point out how stupid so many people in the south are.

 

[DrewSG3]

I'm sure Obama was gonna miss their electoral votes anyway

Yes you did.

Let me teach you a little something about language, since you seemed to have failed English at least a couple of times, it's called inference.

Your first and second sentences state that if someone is "not doing his job properly" or if they "abandon the oath" (of office I'm going to assume) they should not be on the ballot.
Your third sentence states that as much as you dislike (Barack Obama) he needs to be on the ballot.

You can infer that because Obama should be on the ballot that he must be doing his job properly and that he is upholding the oath (of office).

LOL, Kansas is not in the south.

 

[Matt1970]

That's pretty stupid.

Aren't they south of the mason dixon line?

No I didn't

Technically Maryland is south of the Mason-dixon line. Do you consider Baltimore "southern"?

I wouldn't consider most major cities "southern". It's the rural rednecks and bible thumpers that tend to give them their poor image.

 

[CrackRabbit]

No I didn't

Yes, you did, as much as you wish to deny it.
Now you understand why you are regarded as the stupidest troll on these forums. You can't even troll properly because you don't understand what you are saying.
I'm sad and embarrassed for you.

Why would you have a poor image of folk who simply reflect the environment they were born in. Backward uncultured ignorant communities have backward uncultured and ignorant people living in them, just as Neanderthal culture was Neanderthal. You take any one of those hicks from the nest and raise them in oh say NYC and you will get a completely different being. So remember, the best of the south raised where you and I were, would likely be more advanced than you or I.

 

[dawp]

No I didn't

yes, you did imply that, since you did say he must be on the ballot, thus implying that he is doing his job properly.

 

[bfdd]

btw Romney's campaign has been actively fighting to get Gary Johnson off the ballot in quite a few States. Luckily we he has successfully fought all challenges and is still on the ballot in 47 States.

See if you can find Kansas...hint, don't look in the south:
