Sen Vitter whores himself out for the birther vote
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 05:56 AM by MrScorpio
Republican senator says he backs birther lawsuits

By BEN EVANS, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jul 13, 1:58 am ET

WASHINGTON – Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana says he supports conservative organizations challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship in court.

Vitter, who is running for re-election, made the comments at a town hall-style event in Metairie, La., on Sunday when a constituent asked what he would do about what the questioner said was Obama's "refusal to produce a valid birth certificate."

Such claims about Obama's birth certificate have been discredited. But with the crowd applauding the question, Vitter responded that although he doesn't personally have legal standing to bring litigation, he supports "conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court," according to a video of the event.

"I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it," Vitter said, although he later cautioned that the matter could distract from policy issues.

Vitter knows FULL WELL that the birthers are full of shit (much like his Pampers), but still, he can't help but give in to a bunch of rabid nutjobs who are armed with voter registration cards.

For shame, David... For shame.

4. Gee if President Obama had been a republican
maybe they would have done for him, what they did for Romney's father. Congress took a vote and passed it to ignore the questions that Romney's father was born in Mexico, which he was. AND THERE WAS A QUESTION ALSO OF THE LEGALITY OF THE CITIZENSHIP OF HIS PARENTS. But that's OK you don't hear anymore about that.
