Romney makes Birther joke

Would Tim Tebow ever defeat Obama in a presidential race?

Liberals need to bring up the Birth issue more!

It distracts voters from important issues like the economy and universal health care. 

To be honest, at this point, Obama's birther issue is a losing issue for Obama.  It needlessly reminds swing voters that Obama lacks patriotism or nationalism, and thinks of America and Americans second to the UN. 

In 2008, Obama spending his childhood in Kenya and Indonesia was seen as an asset to improving International relations and promoting support in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Now, the international Birther background places Obama as a President who ignores the problems of everyday Americans.  So keep talking about the Birther issue because it calls into question Obama's patriotism.  It will sink Obama faster than speaking French sunk Kerry.

Liberals need to bring up the Birth issue more!

You misunderstood the thread.  ROMNEY told the racist birther joke in front of a crowd of people on live TV.

The more Liberals complain about the Birthers and call Tea Party members racist, the more it emboldens their cause.  I know Obama is trying to rally the Liberal activists against these white racists but Liberals think the birthers are a bad joke. 

Besides, wasting time talking about the Birther issue takes time away from talking about the economy, jobs, and healthcare.  So the more Liberals complain about Birthers, the more likelihood that they think Obama is busy worrying about his birth certificate than failing to fix the country.

I think the Obama campaign and Liberals are worried about the Birther issue, otherwise they and the liberal media won't make such a big deal every time a Tea Partier brings it up. 

The average voters thinks its a bad joke, but the more Obama fights back about it and spends time creating ads about Birthers, the more regular people are going to think its a big deal, and that maybe Obama is fighting back so hard is because he's afraid of something. 

I don't see how the Birther issue is going to make someone "stay for Obama" or "switch to Obama" 

Its more annoying to hear Liberals constantly complain about Birthers.
The better option is to just ignore the conspiracy theorists and talk about the other issues.  But Liberals have no other issues to talk about other than how "Racist white folks are" because they hate the black president because he's born in Kenya.  Its just stupid is as stupid does, and Liberals are just buying into the stupidity. 

If a Liberal is going to vote for Obama because Romney made a "birth certificate joke" then that liberal might need to re-think his or her priorities. 

Obama made a gaffe (his true feelings) when he said "You didn't build your business, government did" and it showed how little Obama thinks about private enterprise and capitalism in America.  It shows that he secretly and inheritently views corporations as evil and undeserving of their success.
