Why do some Republicans and Conservatives think that Obama's birth certificate is a fake?

Question

do they actually think that he was not checked out extremely thoroughly by several branches of the Government before now?

Answer 1

Because most republicans make stuff up all the time.

Answer 2

There are only three branches to our government, not sure what you mean by "several."

They don't "think" his birth cert is fake, they have 'faith' that it is fake.  They don't want proof, proof is for sheep....they have faith.

its all good, I wasn't trying to be picky, just wanted to be sure I understood your question properly......we're talking about a group of people who think Saddam and OBL held hands and played badmitton together...

Answer 3

they are just trying to find dirt on him.  whether it's true or not.  typical smearing.

Answer 4

I don't, I just think that he is incredibly stupid

Answer 5

More than that, some morons, who have even answered this very question, seem to think it has been "proved" to be fake just because some geek says so.

But to be serious, McPOW doesn't like birth certificates. When he was prisoner for 5 and a half years, he was only given birth certificates to read.

Answer 6

They don't think they can beat him in the election, so they will try to disqualify him somehow.  It's their best hope.  

Answer 7

If you believe Iraq was behind 9/11 or in creationism, you'll believe anything people tell you.

Answer 8

Because the birth certificate he posted has been proven a fraud.

Answer 9

Because that is more important to them and easier for them than addressing the real problems of the nation such as:

1. A federal deficit in excess of $500,000,000,000.

2. 47,000,000 citizens without healthcare insurance

3.an increase in poverty in the nation

4. a decrease in real bring home salaries

5. the dependence on foreign oi'

etc.,etc., etc.

And the fact that this was all brought to us by the neo-con policies that have prevailed the last 8 years.

Answer 10

The one posted on Daily Kos has proved to be a forgery is why.

Which brings up an interesting point, why did the Daily Kos deem it necessary to post a forgery to prove his citizenship?

Edit:  I am sure that the registrars office saw a birth certificate.  That is not what you asked.  You asked why do "some" republicans think it is a fake, and my answer tells you why.  Now why would the Daily Kos put forth a fake to fuel the controversy?  Maybe because in reality it is the far left loons who do not want to discuss the issues.  You tell me.

Answer 11

Because his grandmother, half brother and half sister in Kenya say THEY WERE PRESENT WHEN HE WAS BORN...IN PERSON...IN KENYA.

And he won't allow Hawaii to release his birth certificate. Hmmm, why?

Colleen, again, LOL! You might want to factcheck the lawsuit filed in Philidelphia last Thursday against Obama. Seems they have eye witnesses, his own family, that watched his birth in Kenya. Oops. Oh, and when did factcheck.com become the end all be all of truth? LOL! Have you checked their About Us page? Liberal, liberal, liberal, lol...c'mon.

Answer 12

Because they think you are guilty until proven innocence.

Answer 13

They are continually fed misinformation and hear it as gospel.

Answer 14

Grasping for Straws

Answer 15

Because apparently some people think our political discourse should be about personal destruction and nothing else.  They have spent a great deal of energy attacking Obama's character with smears and lies hoping that enough will stick in order to beat him in the general election.  

Obama's birth certificate, a real paper birth certificate, was examined by FactCheck.org and their analysis, which determined it to be genuine, can be found at the link provided below.

His birth certificate has been 'released' and was examined by FactCheck.org.   None of the people quoted below were actually quoted to state they were present in Kenya when he was born, that is yet another fabrication.

The lawsuit will be dismissed pretty soon by a motion to dismiss.   Maybe then you will understand that the 'witnesses' have not stated what the liar who brought the suit claims.  Oh, I bet when it is dismissed it will because of a 'liberal judge' right? lol, get real.

There is also of course a birth announcement in the newspaper in Hawaii on the day Obama was born there included on the FactCheck.org page.  I suppose some Obama campaign aid took a time machine back to 1961 and planted that birth announcement in the newspaper!  What is wrong with you people lol.

By the way, FactCheck.org was referred to as a source in the 2004 VP debate by none other than that famous liberal, d**k Cheney.  :)

Answer 16

every birth cerfificate is fake unless comes with green stamps.

Answer 17

Some of his supporters think the same thing. Why do you think they are hiding it.

Answer 18

oh for God's sake!  What will they think of next? Are we adults or 4th graders?

Don't we have other things to do other than to seek out alternate birth certificates?

Geez!

have any of them given thought to the mess bush is about to leave behind. did they check out his birth certificate, or whether barbara is his mother or bush sr his father.

Geez.

Get a life!

such stupids!
