(CBS News) Mitt Romney's campaign stood by its decision to use Donald Trump as a top surrogate even as the reality television host continues to insist President Obama was not born in the United States.

Romney is scheduled to appear at a Las Vegas fundraiser Tuesday with Trump, who made headlines last year with his "investigation" of Mr. Obama's birth certificate ...

1. This birther nonsense is so damn ridiculous. What fools they make

the US look like to the rest of the world. All of the endless problems the US has, and this is what these damn fools harp on ... along with their other diversionary crap.

3. You're correct. This nonsense is too ridiculous, and yet it has half of our nation

fooled! The elections are going to be close. How could this happen to anyone
who can think and reason -- just a little!? But, it is happening.

5. 8 years of Bush wasn't enough. Apparently the nation must completely fail

for the majority of the people before they wake up. Sadly, this has become a nation of propagandized fools. I think the 21st century is going to be a major reawakening for many in the US, in a nation where approximately half of the country lives in poverty or close to it ...

7. Their new slogan should be: "Romney 2012 - Finish the country off!"

A return to the Bush policies will bring about a complete collapse of what's left of the economy and our democracy

11. Fools don't know they're fools. They think they are normal

2. Anyone who shows up at the venue with..

...a sign that says "Governor Romney, show us your Mexican Birth Certificate" can guarantee getting on TV

8. I would not bet my life on your ability to reason closely and well

9. There lies an "attack from the left" troll

Not a very good one though, LOL. Hope the Kochs are paying him top dollar.

13. WOW... I just had to "unhide" that post so I could read it. BARF !!!!!!

Sometimes I should just leave well enough alone, and sometimes I should trust the jury and leave hidden posts hidden.

6. Mitt will believe whatever you believe

Just name your price

10. Trump is getting up there with Rush to Republicans

They are scared shitless of the guy.

14. It looks like Romeny is going along with the birther stance. That's where the GOP base is, he has to

get on board with them. I look for TV ads pushing the birther idea with "I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message" at the end of them

15. Is anyone surprised?

Of course, he can always change his mind later if it suits him.

Barf.
