LOL - Freepers FedEx'ing Electoral College members regarding Obama's eligibility to become Prez
:rofl:

Eligibility question? FedEx Electoral College members
WND follows up Supreme Court letter campaign with historic 1st


WASHINGTON – Following up a campaign that sent more than 60,000 letters by overnight delivery to the U.S. Supreme Court, WND today announces a historic first in its quest to establish Barack Obama's eligibility for office – a similar FedEx letter drive directed at individual Electoral College members.

Through Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern, WND is providing an opportunity to Americans who would like to contact electors of the next president before they vote Monday to send Obama to the White House.

The letters will be sent FedEx to 470 members of the 538-member Electoral College for whom addresses are available. They will all be delivered Friday morning, giving each elector the weekend to consider the constitutional issues raised by Obama's presidency.

As WND has reported, there remain serious questions as to whether Obama is "a natural born citizen," as specified in Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. While he claims to have been born in Hawaii in 1961, two Obama family members have told WND they were present at his birth in Mombasa, Kenya.

2. I really want to call them "retarded"
But folks with Down's Syndrome tend to be good natured and downright huggable. Is there a condition marked by incredible stupidity coupled with a total maliciousness of the soul? It would be far more fitting.

5. Yes, there is. The condition is called "being a Republican".

3. So who's paying for all this FedEx-ing?
Those basement-dwelling psychopaths can't afford to overnight a bunch of letters.

15. That was my first question--who's paying? Mom and Dad are probably fed up
with their basement-dwelling overage brats.

11. Not to lend the wingnuts any credibility
But, he wouldn't have had to be a natural born citizen to be a Senator.

17. Depends on the nutjob......
Berg and the people using his arguements, (like Taitz, Keyes, etc.) claim a Kenyan birth, and even if he was born in the US, Obama lost his US citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian and moved them there. (Never mind that goes against the very Nationalization Act berg cites). By their arguement, he couldn't be a Senator, much less president, because he is at best a naturalized US citizen, at most an illegal alien.

Donofrio and others are using a claim that while Obama was born in the US, he was given dual citizenship though his father and therefore was born with "divided loyalties" and while a citizen, is not a "natural born citizen" born of two citizens and is therefore unable to be president, though there are no problems with being Senator.

9. Hahahaha.
I imagine the electors will file these carefully in the 'Nut Files' and go confirm Obama.

13. They have absolutely NO CLUE as to how loyal those electors are
And don't know anything about the process used to be chosen electors. Those people just aren't picked at random.

I'm fairly confident that the Democratic party faithful picked as electors by their respective states will vote for the Democratic nominee, without fail. In fact, I'd be willing to predict it as a certainty.


But, they can waste their money any foolish way they see fit. I hope they spend millions on this.

22. They should all buy a GMC car and drive the petitions to the Electors
That would help jumpstart the economy.

14. Yep!
Keyes' attorneys, Dentist/Lawyer Dr. Orly Taitz and the aptly named "Gary Kreep" are also urging people to do this. I have to wonder if it's a form of harassment - and if the electors could sue them for it.

Oh, Taitz also wants the media "sanctioned" for not reporting on the citizenship/birth certificate claims. (read, not reporting on them the way SHE thinks they should)

23. So do they think disqualifying Obama
would in any way change the election?

I mean, even if by some bizarroworld chance that this whole thing had any validity to it whatsoever...


They'd still be "stuck" with a Democrat in the White House, right?

Only it wouldn't be a black man...



Stupid asshole racist bastards...that's really what it's all about, isn't it?

If Obama were white, I don't think they'd even be blinking an eye on this.



Those fuckers need some constructive hobbies

like making ashtrays or papier mache birdhouses

26. I listened to some fool on wingnut radio last night. Don't know who it was
but callers were making up stuff about where Obama was born ... seemingly trying to outdo each other.
One even said his grandmother in Kenya said he was born there.
They'll keep this up for the next eight years.

An attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters and ignore the will of the people.

30. Let them waste their money, they'll have less to donate to candidates in the next election.
Which'll mean more RINO candidates that lose to dems.
