rick perry is back on the birther train....when being a dumbass just isn't quite enough

[spanone]

Gov. Rick Perry opened speculation about whether he is a birther after he gave an unclear answer to the question about President Obama’s birth place in Sunday’s Parade Magazine.

Perry called it a “distractive issue” but gave no definitive answer concerning what he believes, only mentioning he had dinner with Donald Trump, who still doubts the authenticity of the birth certificate provided by the Obama administration last April, according to Perry.

When Perry was asked what he thought of the birth certificate, he answered, “I don’t have any idea.”
A spokesman for Perry said his answer on the matter was very clear.

Trump, who is being courted by nearly every Republican presidential candidate, led a crusade last April to force President Obama to disclose his long form birth certificate amidst accusations he was not born in this country.

1. The GOP has nothing to campaign on ...

- No Osama Bin Laden
- No "Islamic threat"
- No jobs created under their policies
- No plans to help American families and workers
- Dwindling war involvement
- The 99% that they do not understand

So, they're going to grasp at anything to try and discredit, denigrate or embarrass President Obama, or distract the nation from the failed GOP policies.

2. Trump is courting them I think, not the other way around. They should

be careful, he wants something.

3. The next debate will be a birther contest. "I'm more of a birther than you" followed by

cheers from the audience.
