Rick Santorum: Me and Barack Obama both have birth certificates

DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Rick Santorum said Tuesday that he and President Barack Obama both have the same proof they were born in the United States, making clear that he won’t play into the widely discredited claims about Obama’s birthplace.

"He has a certificate of birth, which is what, if you ask for the record of birth in Hawaii, that is what they give you," Santorum told more than a dozen Dyersville Republicans when asked about the so-called birther issue at a lunchtime meeting here.

"I've looked at my birth certificate," said Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who was born Virginia. "I have a certificate of birth. I have the same thing."

Sorry Rick, but you're never going to sell as one of the rational candidates...

1. Dropping like flies

The focus groups have apparently come back with projections and numbers.

Maybe they'll nominate Trump after all.

4. He's done. It's "birthers only" in the primaries for the republicans. "No-birther"=a DOA campaign.

7. Think About It......

Trump tooting his horn took away the birther issue from the Repug party. Most of the candidates that will end up throwing their hat in the ring for the 2012 Repug nomination for president have renounced it.

Now Trump has jumped on the Affirmative Action meme and let's see what he'll do to get the Repugs to back off anything that remotely sounds racist.

One by one I hope that Trump takes away all the crazy RW teabaggin talking points - because if he does the Repugs will have to run only on the issues - and they can't do that. They are screwed!!!!!!!
