WASHINGTON (AP) - The new Republican House majority leader says he doesn't think questions about President Barack Obama's citizenship should play a role in the discussion of policy matters.

Two years into the Obama administration, so-called birthers continue to argue that Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and that he hasn't proved he's constitutionally qualified to be president. Birth records in Hawaii haven't dissuaded them.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he believes Obama is a citizen and that most Americans are beyond that question.

"I don't think it's an issue that we need to address at all. . It is not an issue that even needs to be on the policy-making table right now whatsoever," he said.

1. I believe Cantor is probably not a cat molestor.

And shame on you for suggesting he sexually molests cats.

[Xipe Totec]

4. Let's not rush to judgement until all the facts are in nt

[nyy1998]

12. His lack of a criminal record on this matter does not convince me that he doesn't molest cats nt

[TheEuclideanOne]

14. Although I do see the point you are making......

I actually do think he is a cat molestor. :)

2. Some percentage of this country is delusional and no amount of facts will ever

convince them and dissuade them from these asinine claims.

3. wow - this is even in the news?

Baggers and Birthers seem to get plenty of media coverage.

Back in 2002-2003, hundreds of thousands of people marched through the streets protesting the invasion of Iraq, and got media bupkis.
:shrug:

5. It's not a question of belief, it's a question of fact.

By stating that he "believes" Obama's a citizen, he's hinting that it might not be a fact.

8. correct

it's meaningless until they state emphatically that it is time for everyone to stop the nonsense... Cantor is still an a%%h@le

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. Did anyone else see him stare up at the ceiling when he said that on MTP this morning?

Slimey little asswipe can't even look David Gregory in the eye on national television when he says something like that. What a disgusting piece of arrested development that guy is.

[calimary]

16. Wow - that's a GREAT description of that arrogant little putz. He IS a slimy little asswipe.

I can't watch MTP - I can't watch david gregory fawn over the bad guys week after week after week. Can't ever separate him from that footage of him dancing up a storm with kkkarl "MC" rove. Sold his soul to the devil that night, I think.

:puke:

[Thor_MN]

17. Cantor has the nervous tics of a kid that got his ass kicked in school

on a regular basis.

[Gman]

7. LOL! What a RINO!

[Aristus]

9. Cantor also went out on a limb and asserted that water is wet.

:eyes:

[pnwmom]

11. Not really. He only believes water is wet.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

:shrug:

[silenttigersong]

13. Thank you for clarifying that Rep.Cantor

[bluedigger]

10. I don't know if this is the saddest headline ever...

but it is definitely in the discussion...:banghead:

[TheEuclideanOne]

15. Actually, that racist bullshit helped to achieve it's purpose.

These scumbags feel comfortable enough now to take some positions publicly now that they managed to get a big part of the population to vote on that belief in the last election. I think that many Repbulicans are just grateful that the manipulators of their party figured out a way to call him a n***** in a more subtle way.

[DesertFlower]

18. i don't care what that little twit thinks.

[alp227]

19. and i don't give a shit about the birther theories either. let's move on! n/t

[liberal N proud]

20. It took him this long to make such an astounding statement

How dumb they are!

[LeftishBrit]

21. Well, that's nice of him

Does he also believe that the earth is round and goes round the sun?

[No Elephants]

22. Gregory had to ask him about 6 times before he said that, though.

[Crowman1979]

23. Those teabaggers are gonna throw a shit fit over that.
