Balta1701 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Strongly disagree. The overwhelming majority of people who buy into this are people who will never vote for Obama anyway. If the Republicans are going to spend their nomination season arguing amongst themselves over exactly how stupid you have to be to buy into this birther crap, then it means they're not actually mounting a challenge to Obama on the issues people who could be swayed from voting for him actually care about. Birthermania isn't going to increase Republican turnout or decrease Democrat turnout. I dunno, I think that telling your voters that the President is a Socialist Muslim Fascist who is coming for your Medicare and will take it back with him to Muslims in Kenya might be a decent turnout message.

But those people already believe that. You don't need to continue demonstrating to the rest of your country how dumb your base is by continuing the birther conversation. Those people are already convinced to vote against Obama. Edited April 27, 2011 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he was quickly shuffled from another country into Hawaii by a group of Muslim extremists who forced a doctor at gun point to sign it, in hopes of one day rising him to power to lead the American Islam revolution!

StrangeSox Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Trump's taking credit for this. How big of a bump will The Birther get in the GOP nomination polls because of this? Is this a grand scheme orchestrated by the DNC and Trump to ensure an Obama victory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) I kind of understand why the White House did this, but I think it makes them look weak. They should have stayed above the fray and let the nut jobs have at it. Who was this really distracting? What was not getting done because of it? They got played by Donald Trump.

StrangeSox Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Disagree, if this gets the right frothing and fomenting about birtherism and "release the transcripts!" and other quasi-racist causes, it's a huge win for the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Where is Obama during any of this? Didn't he say once that he'd stand with the Unions if they ever tried to ban collective bargaining? President Obama sat down with a local reporter from Ohio on Tuesday and laid into the anti-collective bargaining bill signed into law by Gov. John Kasich ® last month. SB5, as the law is known, eliminates the right of thousands of state workers to collectively bargain for benefits and makes going on strike illegal. Democrats and union supports have vowed to fight the legislation at the ballot box, and they've said the issue has done a lot to fire up the base after big Republican wins (including Kasich's) in 2010. Republican supporters of SB5 say the law is necessary to balance Ohio's budget. Obama told WKYC-TV the law unfairly puts the burden of cleaning up the state's fiscal mess on state workers. "I strongly disapprove," Obama said of the Ohio law. "Lets certainly not blame public employees for a financial crisis that they had nothing to do with," Obama said. "And let's not use this as an excuse to erode their bargaining rights." Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
