Former Obama opponent now suing to prove President-elect's citizenship SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship. According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States. http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/elections/presheadlines/34587804.html
Talk about frivolous lawsuits. And most of the comments below the article were shameful. But Georgia is an old, redneck, slave state that went for McCain so I'm not surprised one bit. The good news about this election is there's now a clear distinction between good white folks and their lowlife, racist, trailer park cousins.
Alan Keyes has always been known as a self-hating Uncle Ruckus so this doesn't come as a surprise to me.:smt009
A little off topic, but it is so annoying that these racist, uneducated rednecks give the south a bad name. When people speak of the south, that is the very picture they see. Our hometown news is the worst. No matter the topic, they find the first toothless, tobacco chewin', truck drivin', flannel shirt wearin', brainless redneck with a mullet who sounds like they are chewing a mouthful of shit when they speak! Ugh, on my nerves...
Probably. I'm sure you are right. Last election I voted for Bush, only because John Kerry was an idiot, and I didn't feel at the time our country was ready for a change. I voted Obama this time because I now feel we are ready. He is very educated with good values and ideals. I think he will bring that change that I'm looking for in our country. Thats, in a nutshell, why I voted for him. I know some die hard democrats who voted for McCain. Same points of interest, same party, different skin color. Those people are the idiots. I'm not naive and blind to the fact that there are the stereotypes. But, dammit, I just wish there weren't any. My uncle used to tell me to shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first. I would just love to think we've come a long way as HUMANS. But I know these very people you speak of and it's disgusting to me. I am rambling...
Where was he during the election? What a coward and house slave to boot. I have not seen anything he wrote on those right-wing websites him and others hang.
If there's not a problem why doesn't he just show his birth certificate. That would shut a lot of people up. I know it seems frivolous but it is the law. He must be able to show he is a natural born citizen of the United States.:smt017
Alan Keyes is a nasty bitter man with ambitions to be president someday. With all of his "intelligent" talk Mr. Keyes policies would not be positive to the country as a whole. Remember this is the man who cut off financial support to his daughter because she came out as a lesbian.
On second thought if his mother was over the age of 19 when he was born it doesn't matter where he was born, or that his father wasn't a US citizen because immigration law used to say that the US citizen parent had to have been a citizen over the age of 14 for at least 5 years in order to give that citizenship to a foreign born child. So the only way he couldn't be president would be if he were born abroad, and his mother was under 19 when it happened. I know most people probably don't care, but I wanted to clear up my own previous post. I don't have a problem with it, I think it's a technicality and we base to many things on technicalities anyway.
