Kansas panel delays ballot decision on Obama (Beyond disgraceful, beneath contempt)

Kansas panel delays ballot decision on Obama

By Tim Carpenter
THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

Three of the state's top elected Republicans on Thursday determined they lacked sufficient evidence of President Barack Obama's birth records to decide whether to remove the Democratic nominee from the November ballot in Kansas.

The State Objections Board comprised of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer postponed until Monday action on a complaint filed by a Manhattan resident pending review of a copy of Obama's birth certificate from Hawaii.

"I don't think it's a frivolous objection," Kobach said. "I do think the factual record could be supplemented."

Requests were to be sent to officials in Hawaii, Arizona and Mississippi in an attempt to secure copies of the president's birth records.
Obama released a copy of his birth certificate last year, but detractors persist in advancing "birther" arguments that the Democrat lacked standing.

so they should have her original long form birth certificate on file.

Do they think she found him on her doorstep?

Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch, these people are stupid.

though he and his mother were not. THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. They'll have to take him off the ballot, too!

P.S. Here's the Christ on a trailer hitch you ordered...

with, TTE, "If we do something too un-acceptable, we're out."

Well we're out ANYWAY, with this mechanical "just work the numbers" approach and NOTHING QUALITATIVE ever identified and cultivated.

People are about MORE than numbers and if you ONLY do the numbers, you LOSE the people, because you're only doing the other guy's game.

People are also about qualities too, so you must do BOTH quantities, the number mechanics/phone-banking & (really VERY little very perfunctory canvassing), and qualities which must be discovered and valued.

R's do their qualitative stuff in their churches. D's don't have anything like that.
