Here's what I have to say regarding the birthers: "Please understand this one simple thing - It doesn't matter that FactCheck.org has all but caressed their faces with the original and lovingly held it up while standing on a cliff to proclaim to the world that it does infact exist, not unlike the scene where Simba is shown to the entire savanah ala Lion King, or that there are newspaper announcements for his birth on file, these people are crazy and such things like reality do not factor into their opinions whatsoever. You could fly that woman to Hawaii in a plane made of angels, drive her to the recorder's office in a chariot of gold pulled by Aslan himself, have Jesus escort her to the office and show her the birth certificate and she would still think that it is a fake.
Why?
Because these people are, in all likelihood, delusional. Their worldview is so wrapped up in their unrealistic ideas that they will resist believing anything other than that Obama is an illegitimate President due to his birth because it would bring down their reality, not unlike schizophrenics; you can't argue with them. The only thing you can do is show how incredibly crazy they are so that other, more rational individuals don't get suckered by them. "
I'd actually love to be a Republican Senator right now. No, no, hear me out.
Because I'd want to be asked what I think about birthers. "Just because a thousand people say a foolish thing does not mean it isn't a foolish thing. There are morons out there who still think the world is flat, too."
Yes, but that would require you to be a Republican senator and I'm pretty sure that if you don't roll 00 on the percentile dice they extract your brain.
You're missing the point. These wingnuts want to keep the birther thing alive to distract Americans from the fact that the Republicans have got nothing to offer in the way of solutions to or nation's problems.
Name me one proposed Republican program to fix the economy, education, health care, the debacle in Iraq or the environment. Just ONE.
