GOP Tries to Remove President from NH Primary Ballot

Republican birthers and tea baggers are going to be alive and well throughout the next year. And in New Hampshire, the GOP actually tried to remove President Obama from that state's primary on completely false charges that he has a fake birth certificate.

At 2 p.m. in Room 307 of the legislative office building, the state's Ballot Law Commission is set to hear a complaint filed by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer who has continued to question the validity of Obama's birth certificate and Social Security number since his 2008 election.

Backing her complaint, Taitz said, are four Republican members of the New Hampshire House: Harry Accornero of Laconia, Larry Rappaport of Colebrook, and Lucien and Carol Vita of Middleton.

"There's sufficient controversy that I want it investigated," Rappaport, a Ron Paul supporter, said yesterday. "Every time this is brought up . . . we get a lot of flak, but we've never gotten an answer."

Obama released his birth certificate in response to media inquiries in 2008, but the document did little to quiet skepticism from the so-called "birther" movement. In April, in response to continued interest in the president's nationality - fueled by statements by real estate mogul Donald Trump as he toyed with a presidential run - Obama also released a copy of his long-form birth certificate.

This is just your normal everyday Republican Party at work.  Notice, too, Rappaport claims to be a Ron Paul supporter.  Of course he is.  Paultards are the kings of wingnut conspiracy theories.  Paul is a Republican through and through.  These are the same people that voted twice for George W. Bush, who think Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and calls anybody who doesn't agree with everything they say "traitors" and anti-Americans.

Yeah they actually did just that when the committee dismissed Taitz's claims.

The action came after the decision was made by the state's Ballot Law Commission to keep President Obama on the presidential ballot. Sitting across the room from most of the people, I grabbed my cameras and changed locations in anticipation of a reaction. I overheard some people earlier suggesting they should yell "Treason" or "Traitors" following the decision. People were heated. And sure enough, like many events I cover, people yelled "Treason." And "Traitors."

I would be so proud to be a Republican.
