OMG! Ronald Reagan was born in Ireland!

[LuckyTheDog]

Where is my proof? I don't need it!

All I have to do is ASSERT that Ronald Reagan was born in Ireland and that any evidence to the contrary was faked. That has as much credibility as the birther nonsense.

So, what the heck. I'm becoming a Reagan birther. Join me!

[Keith Bee]

1. HA!

I'm sure you've heard the speculation that Andrew Jackson was born on a ship coming from Ireland. K&R.

[underpants]

2. McCain was born in Panama

look it up

figure out how that was never a question

[rurallib]

3. Romney's dad was born in Mexico

does this make Mittens Mexican?

[flamingdem]

13. el tiene underwear magicos! nt

[Enthusiast]

24. Anchor baby! nt

[HighLowRoller87]

9. Yup but no one is bitchin about that. If that's the case, I look forward to putting my Presidential

vote someday to a Puerto Rican who would like to run. Absolutely ridiculous this crap.

[cui bono]

11. That's why McCain didn't use the birther tactic. n/t

14. He was born on a U.S. military base.

It is considered U.S. territory. Actually it was a question at the time of the campaign and there was quite a bit of discussion. The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution saying McCain was eligible to run for president. http://leahy.senate.gov/press/press_releases/release/?id=b20b320d-441b-4483-bc36-2fbca0e2d3ce

18. Doesn't matter. McCain was born in the country Panama.

The military base was not a US territory in any case. It was leased form Panama. Besides McCain was born in a Panamanian hospital.

19. He qualified under federal citizenship law.

The first Congress, on March 26, 1790, approved an act that declared, "The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States." But if you disagree take it up with Senator Leahy. He sponsored the resolution.

[Pab Sungenis]

21. So? Obama qualified under federal citizenship law

but that hasn't stopped people from claiming otherwise.

McCain wasn't born in the United States, period. So Obama has a stronger claim to being natural born than John McCain did.

[former9thward]

26. What does Obama have to do with it?

The poster said McCain did not qualify. That is false. What don't you get about that?

[Pab Sungenis]

27. He said no such thing.

He just pointed out that McCain was born in Panama. As I pointed out, McCain has less of a claim to natural born citizenship since he wasn't born within the confines of the United States. So why are the biggest birthers people who wanted McCain in the White House?

[former9thward]

30. Not so.

The poster asked why no question had been raised about McCain's eligibility to run in 2008. That means the poster does not think he was qualified.

[JackRiddler]

20. All Republican rhetoric is projection of some kind.

[Enthusiast]

25. Valid point.

It appears to be a sort of mental affliction.

[Spinny Liberal]

4. President Reagan, Show Your Birth Certificate!!

Forget it, you're dead. Who cares if you were an Irish bastard? :-)

[flamingdem]

5. He wasn't an actor either

He had a standin!

[Canuckistanian]

10. His stand-in...

[flamingdem]

12. Bonzo should be nominated at the GOP convention

if he has a birth certificate that is

[Kurmudgeon]

6. Oh my, another sock puppet thread! Bush sure had his fist up Reagan's keister pretty far. n/m

[Drale]

7. I'm in

This will be like those facebook status that go around. Lets see how many people we can get to believe us.

[Canuckistanian]

8. Where's his long form?

And I won't settle for anything less.

[Mister Ed]

15. Our current president was born in Ireland, too.

I mean, come on. With a name like Brock O'bama, isn't it obvious?

Where is the outrage?!

[William769]

16. Why pick on the Irish?

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. And he died in Kenya!

I know it because my brother's neighbor's dentist heard this from his cousin.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. But Ireland is part of the US.... right?

:sarcasm:

[Enthusiast]

23. I agree.

My Irish ancestors told me of Reagan's birth on the old sod.

[deutsey]

28. Show me the death certificate!!1!1

Hell, based on how his policies are still in vogue, I don't believe he's really dead.

I hear he keeps himself alive by drinking the blood of poor people.

[LuckyTheDog]

31. A darned Irish zombie, he is! (nt)

[spanone]
