So who's newspapers are more honest? Birther issue still an issue

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

I have since looked at urban legend sites such as snopes and see everything from copies of the Birth document listing the place of birth as Honolulu HI and birth announcements archived from the date he was born. I see this stuff as distraction from his policies which are more relevant and extremely socialistic in nature. I suggest folks spend less time on where he was born and more time on what he is doing?

[AQUAMAN]

I agree for the most part, however, The Donald has been investigating very thoroughly of late, and surprising as it is to even himself, may have uncovered some monkeyshines in the process that warrant another look. Mr. Obama's policies and record is his own now, and cannot be changed or altered to impress anyone anymore. All polls say he's on the skids and going down, and no Bush bashing or fancy speeches can change that either.

Oh I agree there may have been some covertness in his origin... but it is far easier to battle him now on his socialist style agenda and the fact he used Bushes war and spending as cover for his own debt... that's real hard to do when you yourself have quadrupled the debt you ran against Bush on. And now you started an even less popular war than Bushes Iraq war in a place even less relevant to U.S interests.

... and there's few things more distracting as Mr. Trump has been lately.  No matter how much you may admire the man's bravado and entrepreneur skills, the man's politics in the past has been closer to a West Coast liberal, than to even a moderate Republican.  When you  get past Trump's fame and his perseverance on the birther issue, he lacks any sort of clear agenda which distinguishes him from being just another Bill Clinton. 

Of course, Big Media would love to push this guy to the front of the Republican Party, but if they want the White House in 2012, they must resist and cater more to the Tea Party factions.

Idon't know X. If you think about it.. OB won because the media ignored his lack of experience and now prophetic words he said as a senatorial candidate, about "energy prices necessarily going up to promote clean energy." While Trump is not a pure republican by any stretch, he is a pure capitalist. Social issues aside, I think he could force the rest of the world to give the U.S its due again.

Before Trump got the major press he did the front runner seemed to be Mitt Romney. Yes he is socially conservative but far far from a friend of capitalism, and its driving force in wealth and job production. I am also sure the left would eat the fact he is a practicing Mormon and rallying force behind prop 8 in Cal, against him, to rally the far left and social liberals. 

This election once again, is going to be about who swallows and elects the lesser of two evils, and not necessarily the best person for the job.

I clearly see Trump as a renaissance Perot type. He's on the ball, doesn't duck any questions, doesn't need a teleprompter, doesn't need fame or money, and is a loyal American capitalist, with Republican overtones to boot. He believes in the Constitution. If he does run, he'll have more money than anyone else to prop up his agenda. And from the agenda I've heard, it's a refreshing tone of not attempting to impress the media, the unions, the socialists, nor anyone but the common man in the street working for a living to pay his bills and have some dignity left. He states the truth, whether anyone has the guts to say it or listen to it or not. He'll fix our foreign wars, the social benefits affairs, fix the IRS, fix China and other leaches of our economy, and give us the America back we used to be proud of, and could be again.

As someone who voted for Perot twice, I do have to disagree with your appraisal of Trump, Aquaman.  Yes, I admire his frankness and his current populist message, but like Mitt Romney, Trump's past political stances make me consider his recent change with some suspicion. 

Perot was more consistent in his philosophy, and his frankness, in my opinion, was genuine.  I don't see that yet in the Donald and he seems to wear the 'same suit' as Mitt, though he's not as polite and refined.  

Be that as it may, I did vote for Mitt in the MI 2008 primary because at that time it was a three man race with McCain and Huckabee, and I thought Mitt was at least as good as them and originally from MI to boot.  Ron Paul will announce his exploratory committee formation later today, and he is my early choice, as his humbleness and stances agree with me the most.  But will Big Media allow Paul to be the Republican's choice?

Here's an interesting letter from the Czeck Republic

 The danger to America is not Barak O'bama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an O'bama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. O'bama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack O'bama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survivce a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

[easymoney]

In my humble opinion, I don't believe Trump will run at all. At the moment, he's enjoying alot of TV time, and he does like that. Also, I believe if he ran, it would guarentee O'bama a second term. Watch the other hand.

Personally, I'd love to see Allen West or Herman Cain. Or both on the ticket. Face it, it has to be a new face, or it'll be the same old washington country club elete. Same ol same ol

[Max]

I like some things about Allen West, but my choice(s) right now is Gary Johnson, or Ron Paul.

[AQUAMAN]

Ron Paul is a good strong Constitutionist, and as an Independent, got flattened in 2008, as a R. he would again. He really lacks the pizazz that people want in a leader, but really don't need in a President for these times. Perhaps Ran Paul in the 2016 election? Trump has shortcomings as a Politician, yes, but when are people going to get good and fed up with lifetime politicians for our new leaders? Romney is a stale and steadfast lifetime politician pretty much, and doesn't have the new ideas and guts to do what's needed, but perhaps get elected if all follow him in the R party. He or Jeb Bush look like the most likely favorites for 2012. But I'm hoping for Trump to trump their favorite good ole boys in favor of a fresh and bold leader from the business sector that isn't a yes and no man for the other political boys in power.

[XLFD]

Ron Paul will have a better showing this time, as his wisdom has proved prescient.  But, as you say, he may not be ready for widespread support, although his supporters are very fervent, and his son Rand's rising star may give him a significant boost in the early primaries.  Ron Paul's other son may also be headed for running for public office shortly, I hear, and this would likely be great unless he's the black sheep of that family. 

Trump still needs at least four years to mature as a GOP-er, and I don't think he has the patience for a nearly two year campaign-- at least yet.
