Romney needs to produce a real birth certificate -- not the bogus one he produced yesterday

from Doug Mataconis at the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/30/romney-trump-birther-texas-live#block-3




As we can plainly see, this is obviously a forgery, and Donald Trump and Sheriff Joe Arpaio need to get right on it. Here are the five key signs:

1. This is clearly not a birth certificate at all. It's something called a "Certificate of Live Birth" – which suggests the obvious question: where is the birth certificate?

2. This is only the "short form" of the certificate and that is plainly inadequate. Why won't Mitt Romney publish his "long form" birth certificate? What does he have to hide?

3. Notice that the "date of birth" is listed as March 12, 1947 – but the so-called "certificate" was filed on March 17, 1947. How can Mitt Romney explain this mysterious five day gap during which time he may (or may not) have been smuggled in from Canada? – the foreign country bordering on Michigan.

4. Using my computer I note that this "certificate" image is labeled: "Adobe Photoshop JPEG file". Clear signs of a forgery?

5. "Father's birthplace: Mexico". Come on, do I have to paint you a picture for this one?

To be clear, none of these obvious errors, omissions and forgery are evidence that Mitt Romney was born abroad and has engaged in a decades-long conspiracy to conceal his foreign birth – we are merely asking questions. And putting words in italics for sinister effect. That's all. Over to you, Donald.

so its Certificate of Live Birth is OK. It's not like Hawaii, which is not a real state in Amercia. Hawaii's Certificates of Live Birth are obvious forgeries. Only REAL Amercian states are really Amercian states. That's clear.

I mean, Hawaii is in the middle of the ocean, for pity's sake. How could it be a state? Even Alaska. Look at it. Its attached to North Amercia, so it may be a REAL state, although that's unclear. Looks like it's part of Canadia to me.

Have you sent investigators to Michigan? If so what have they found, or don't you want to talk about old news?

Mitt's grandfather left the US so that he could practice polygamy.

Was Mitt's dad's mother the official wife of the grandfather, or only one of the sister wives?

They say that Obama is really trying to live out his father's foreign philosophy. Perhaps Mitt is doing the same, seeing himself as a global citizen who can move freely from country to country when the need arises.

That's how he finds workers for his companies. Too expensive in the US ... hire them in China, India or Mexico.
