It's time to admit you can't resist contributing even what ends up as pure BS, as long as it gives you another chance to rail about the the 'lies". You're emotions have taken over any objectivity and credibility you've had. And that's especially unfortunate for someone who seems to make political commentary here their full-time job.

This deserves a response because despite the name calling, their is truely an element of truth to this post.
I began posting on here at the beginning...and the birther thing was even a "thing" among Democrats BEFORE Obama got the nomination. Then, of course it became bigger and bigger. I NEVER, not even once posted on the subject for a number of reasons. Since you feel what I say is BS and since you feel that I overdo it posting on here, you wont care, but I did not post because I dont believe in conspiracy theories and never did, and I was more concerned not about where he was born, but the influence he received.
Then, as the years passed, I still NEVER posted or commented on the birther thing because it just did not make much sense to me.
Even on this thread and the few that began yesterday, I prefaced many of my posts by saying I was never a birther.
Most importantly, I actually felt embarassed discussing the birther issue and on the post you specifically mention, I wanted to be more agrresive but again...I felt somewhat embarassd to be involved in that kind of conversation, and I have always felt the media was totally screwed up relative to Obama thus I went that direction.
You are right...I CAN see the confusion and I apologize, but after what has come out in the last few days, WITH NO EXPLANATION nor one being asked by the same folks who DEMANDED responses on Romney High School capers, I am now officially very suspicious of how ORIGINALLY this notation got on that pamphlet.
So, you got me on that one.
ON your other criticism and sarcasm, I actually enjoy and used to do it for a living....discuss issues and politics (believe it or not for the Democratic party). As you also know, I have pretty much begged folks like you to discuss ISSUES, but all we get from you guys is criticism much like this..personally aimed calling us out either for the number of posts, not liking the Presidents policies (I suppose that is considered heresy in some circles).
While you consider not only me tiresome but also this thread....just wonder how you would feel if...
Romney was found to have offered money to his high school bud to shut up.
Romney told those friends that their problem was that they always wanted to tell the truth
Romney had a pamphlet come out from 15 years ago that showed him born in Canada (after a discussion already had been made about that fact) Would you wonder a bit how that even got on there ?
Romney lied to the american people on his grandmothers insurance when discussing his plan for insurance.
This all after him lying to America on large issues (health care for example)
This after days of the media discussing the high school pranks of Obama.
Would you question the mans capabilities to be President ?
Now we are watching Romney being criticized instead of asking any questions of Obama !!!!
Again, I am so sorry that I bore you and my BS intereferes with something important in your life. I assure you that I do more than post on this forum.....much of it involved with politics but certainly not narrowed to just that and am very happy and I do hope that alleviates your concerns.
Now, if you find something I post that is not true then you call me out personally on THAT, much like you called me out personally on this post.
