Why does Obama pays millions of dollars to a Law Firm to keep his “valid & legal” birth certificate hidden and secret?
Why?
A.- Obama must be scared of what we would see if He releases his Long Form Birth Certificate.

Also remember: No Member of Congress or Senate has seen Obama ID documents or BC. I asked my Senator and Congresswoman and they told me they haven’t seen it. Ask them and see.

This is fueling the suspicious and rage on people
that Obama is a Kenyan born fraud.
So, what are we doing about it?
Have you gone to a Townhall meeting and said: “We, the American people, demand to see All Obama’s ID papers and if he refuses we want Obama impeached and jailed?”
“Ask and you shall receive”
He won’t show anything or leave until we demand it.

PS.- All the posters supporting Obama’s crimes are either Muslim students or ACORN paid goons. They get paid by Obama from our Stimulus money.

I live on the Cape. These crap bags called Kennedy’s are scum of the earth and the BIGGEST hypocrites too. IT does NOT surprise me DEad Ted would make jokes about such an event.
Notice how the OPE has NOT come out and said ONE word about this Catholic Icon? It’s telling–Even the Pope knows this drunken bastard is rotting in hell for his sins. I hope Satan is havimg “his way” with Dead Ted as I type.

tampamom25   August 28th, 2009 - 11:14 am

He always saw the other side of things? What kind of sick person enjoys hearing jokes about an incident where he was responsible for the death of another person? My condolences to a family who lost a father, husband, uncle and friend, but he was a sad, pathetic man who thought way too much of himself and his so-called “royal family”. Rest in peace maybe, but I doubt it……

Kopfjaeger   August 28th, 2009 - 11:17 am

We will all miss Ted’s vicious partisanship, his insane leftist rants and his intelligence-insulting lies. Turd Kennedy was the epitome of a soulless, shameless, parasitic Liberal. He devoted his life to tearing down everything that makes the US the greatest country in the world, and to buying the votes of his rat-brained supporters with our tax dollars. The evil he did is incalculable.
P.S. I didn’t like him :)

“He saw the other side of things.” He saw the other side of his car, from the outside, while his girlfriend was struggling to breathe, he saw it from dry shore. What a guy. Then he would joke about it later, but of course, he had remorse, sort of like OJ style remorse. His is a PIG that served a socialist cause and he shamed himself, his family and his nation.

It’s not surprising this Pig joked about his killing of a young woman..He hated women…He opened the door…and kept it open…for 50 MILLION abortions…most of which ruined the women who had them.

What I am pissed about is the Boston Catholic Church having a High Mass for him…This is a slap in the face of all true Catholics who follow the teachings of the church about being Pro-Life…not supporting g@y marriage…and not dumping your wife and kids…especially for a power hungry woman 25 years younger…this is adultery..in the eyes of the Catholic Church…he also killed a girl…and lived to bear false witness to all those who disagreed with him…Bush..Bork etc…

So how can the Church do this vile thing…and let an Atheist-Abortion at even 9 months..supporter Obama do the eulogy?

I called the Boston dioceses..One number was cut off…the other was saying to call back it’s too busy…they are either hiding…or are overwhelmed with callers who disagree with this farce of a Mass.

This Mass will be like Satan..the Evil One( The Messiah God..Obama and his pals in Sin).. himself standing in a Catholic Church lying and blaspheming the true Church…and Jesus Himself. And all those Sheeple here in Boston who are praising this man….are part of this evil for closing their eyes to the Sins of this man…their lack of compassion for the unborn…and the attacks on those who support the unborn…shows how soulless they really are.

I’ll bet that the parents of that young dead woman often reminisce and giggle as well!
I don’t believe that for a minute,this is yet another pathetic liberal attempt to give the impresssion that the event wasn’t a terrible blight and shame on Kennedy’s record.
The best thing that Kennedy has ever done for this nation was dying.

Desiree   August 28th, 2009 - 12:21 pm

Time for the Ted Kennedy jokes.

Senator Ted Kennedy succumbed to brain cancer this week, dying at the age of 77.Kennedy will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery with his brothers; a decision reached by the White House after ignoring a petition from the Kopechne family for a burial at sea.

How did people find out Ted was dead? He didn’t show up at the bar this morning.

Ted was so full of himself, he floated.

They have named a drink after Ted Kennedy. It’s called the Chappaquiddick. It’s made by mixing Gin and murky water.

Teds’ friends say he wasn’t much of a golfer because he always ended up in the water hazard.

During the battle in Nasaria, the Marines called up Kennedy because he had experience with crossing a bridge while being bombed.

I too an shocked at the adulations for a man who ran and allowed a girl to drown.
What is wrong with our political system when a moral weakling like Ted Kennedy is
praised. He was a womanizer like his brothers, and raised by a ruthless father who
was a bootlegger! Yes, he was charismatic, just like Obama, but was a
moral degenerate. I support a woman’s right to choose, but do not support
the present administration and the politicians of both parties who are degenerates,
of which there are many. I say, let’s vote out the entire Congress and Senate and
start over with fresh, intelligent, incorruptable politicans – vote them all
out!!!

Barbara - GG, CA.   August 28th, 2009 - 1:33 pm

Ted Kennedy joked about Chappaquiddick because humor was the only way he could survive and live with a guilty conscience, ‘if’ he had one, lol.
Why he kept getting elected in MASS certainly explains the intelligence of the Irish. This most ‘disgusting’ excuse of a man could have stood on a podium yelling ‘FISH FOR SALE’, and the Irish would have screamed, applauded, and hollered for more.. Yep, IQ’s of a turkey. :o )

Here’s Senator Crown Royal with his son, U.S. Representaive Patrick Kennedy. Patrick has been to the Mayo Clinic 3 times in the last three years. He also has:
Admitted to abusing non prescribed Oxycontin.
Admitted to being a binge drinker.
Is on anti depressants.
Been in two early morning car crashes in the last two years, and both times was given a ride home, as opposed to the standard Field Sobriety Test.
So as far as substance abuse, he beats his father hands down. Dad is one ahead in the murder department, though Patrick’s still only 40 years old.

Good riddance to an evil, disgusting man. “The Lion of the Senate”? Someone
clearly misunderstood. What they really said was “The Liar of the Senate”.
I just hope to God this is the last gasp of the so-called Kennedy Dynasty. Hope-
fully it will be since, John Jr. stupidly killed himself in that plane wreck a
few years ago, and Caroline is no rocket scientist. America doesn’t need a
“Camelot” because we rebelled against English royalty 233 years ago.
Though now with King Obama I on the throne, I guess we’re stuck with something
similar. I couldn’t care less about Kennedy’s stupid funeral. Bury the slob
and move on. One more Kennedy corpse desecrating Arlington.

Read up on things before you compare!

Bruce   August 28th, 2009 - 2:15 pm

When he was a student at the University of Virginia, he was having a party at his house with some friends. A dog next door was barking and apparently annoying the partygoers. Ted calmly took his pistol and went next door and shot the dog. This story is well known in Charlottesville. Party on, Ted. Your legacy as a Lion of the Senate is overshadowed by your legacy as a lowlife.

John Randall   August 28th, 2009 - 2:16 pm

First, I’d like to introduce myself as an independent. I am educated and in the top 5% of wage earners in the U.S. I vote on a case-by-case basis, with a slight leaning towards social/fiscal conservatism. Having said that, I take greater issue with the Republican commentary because it so often seems to lack depth of thought or analysis. For instance:

Tim, capecodder, notasheeple, Craig Allen, et al: Classy. Seriously. He’s freshly buried and you’re hoping he goes to hell. Fancy yourselves Christian as you presume God’s judgment?

Chris Dodd: The birther movement is dead. Obama has released his birth certificate – “short” or “long,” it is nonetheless a valid, official birth certificate. The fact that it comes from Hawaii does not make it any less legitimate. Furthermore, they have records in the Hawaiian newspaper of the birth announcement of Obama. Your implication of a conspiracy would mean that 50-whatever years ago, some woman in Kenya/Indonesia/wherever you imagine would have to have thought, “You know what? My non-U.S. child will someday become the U.S. president. In order to make this fly, I should make a birth announcement in a U.S. state – like Hawaii – so that 50-whatever years later it will corroborate my lies.” That seems likely.

Shari: Palin’s quote was, “As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border.” She was a marketing campaign gone wrong, and was a tremendous embarrassment and disservice to the Republican party. Conservatives everywhere should hope that she went too far in quitting on the job so that she doesn’t muck up another election.

My point is: if you are a conservative, there is plenty to attack in the recent liberal agenda without resorting to the above nonsense. Why not make an effort to stick to the facts? Why not avoid the hyperbole spewed by the gasbags (on either side) and have an actual conversation? Limbaugh is exaggerative and, ultimately, not a good person for this country. Lies and vitriol do not edify anyone involved in the political process. I hope you can acknowledge that.

Hickok   August 28th, 2009 - 2:17 pm

Rush will drag,
I wasn’t aware Limbaugh was an elected official. Thanks for the heads up. I also wasn’t aware he ever left a “Date” in his car for 8 hours while she drowned. Thanks again.
If you were a just marginally bigger a$$wipe, your friends could call you Charmin.

I think Ted Kennedy was a chicken.

JFK was murdered by entities within our own government and Teddy joins their cess pool and continued to carry on in the murderers tradition to create a one world government but doesn’t try to expose anyone whom helped murder JFK.
May he rot in hell.

Hickok,
You weren’t so restrictive originally. Just let me know what the permissible combination is: oxycodone addiction + hydrocodone addiction + illegally obtaining drugs + 2 divorces = Voice of Conservative America, while Kennedy is written off as a substance abuser.

Hilarious Charmin joke, by the way. I wish I could rhyme something with Angel Soft.

When Ted the narcissistic died, two angels escorted him to hell and dumped his ass in a pit. He’s there,
screaming his head off for eternity; his screaming will never end. He definitely belongs in hell. The Lord
hates the hands that shed innocent blood. God does not look the other way. God is not mocked. Ted was a
big fat pig that abused people and pushed his liberal agenda to the max. He was a good example of a
hypocrite. There is final justice for this disgusting pig. I could never see him on TV, he disgusted me.
This is how I now feel about Obama, who I think is the antichrist. There is always justice when we die.

Hey Bob, this is not a competition. And Laura Bush, while guilty of taking that young mans life, did not blatantly “allow” him to die. She may have been careless in her driving, and at 17 yrs. old, very inexperienced. Of course that’s no valid excuse. But Ted was no 17 yr. old when Mary Jo died. He left her in that car to drown. He walked away and nothing was done until the next day! Huge difference! Huge! Laura Bush was not an elected official. Ted was, and even though “everyone” knew what he’d done, people continued to elect him. The man was despicable and disgusting. I am not a Catholic, but many of my family are. I know that the Church does not condone this type of person who claimed to be Catholic, yet fully supported abortion, gay marriage, and apparently murder.

Correct me if I’m wrong but if i kill a person and then make it the center of my sense of humor for the rest of my life that would make me a sociopath right? i wonder how many more dead or injured women we will find out about in the years to come? how many did he kill and was covered up by the left wing and the Kennedy propaganda machine? Was he a self diluted drunk elitist or was he a sociopath that felt no wrong or guilt when he hurt or killed some one? I pray the Massachusetts will have the wisdom to vote for a non-progressive come the special election if the hypocrites don’t change the law and appoint a progressive in his place. At lest bad date ted is gone may his influence leave as well.

hooray teds dead

People still dont know these many years later that Mary Jo could have survived for up to two hours in an air bubble inside that car. Yes, the coroner ruled the cause of death was asphyixiation, not drowning. This is all public record if you dont believe me. Had Kennedy promptly reported the accident the odds are very good Mary Jo would have been saved.

Ted Kennedy… aka “Flipper”

Now that the Lyin’ Liberal…sorry, the Liberal Lion is dead
(brain cancer, that explains a LOT!), maybe we can bury the
health care abomination right next to him !

Bob: You have evidence that Barbara Bush left her then boyfriend to die after she crash her car in a lake while completely tanked, then went on to never apologize for the accident and actually make jokes of it later in her life? Oh? You mean she just accidentally ran a stop sign resulting in an accident that killed her boyfriend. The one for which she was completely sober, did everything she could to save him, and immediately accepted responsibility for her actions? Youre, right, those things are exactly alike.

Ted Kennedy and Michael Jackson similarities:

1. Both were talented entertainers
2. Both had acute substance abuse problems
3. Both had complexions from Hell
4. Both had loony cult followings
5. Both were adored by the ultra liberal media
6. Both liked their concubines young and tender

One difference: Jackson just “Fiddled and diddled” his concubines, as opposed to driving them over The Bridge To Nowhere.

Theodore Moore Kennedy. A gallant, caring gentleman, Senator, father, statesman and husband whose unending work for the American public will never be forgotten. Another icon lost; but never to be lost in history by our country’s coming generations of intelligent, free thinking, socially aware and caring individuals who will keep his memory, and the memories of his remarkable family alive. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your passion. Thank you for your gallantry.

Now you can finally rest in peace, Mary Jo.

The cheapness of human life to these monsters will never cease to amaze me.

Yes, at least when Mrs. Bush (Laura Welch)killed her high school boyfriend in 1963,
we never got reports of her later making jokes about running stop signs and vehicular homicide.

Now that’s the Teddy boy I’ve known and loved. What a piece of work. I was wondering what he will say if he runs into Mary Jo but then I remembered….they are in two totally different places.

What I want to know is how this guy qualifies for burial in Arlington National Cemetary?

Barbie,
You left out drunk, misogynist and murderer.

Nostromo   August 28th, 2009 - 3:52 pm

Barbra, Im sorry but Mr. Kennedy was many things, but a gentleman was not one of them. Check our Chris Dodd’s and Kennedy’s “waitress sandwich” stunts and his serial philandering. Gentlemen do not do either of those things. You, like many others, are allowing political prejudices to fog the reality of a life born to power and privilege yet sadly lived. With the exception of cancer, Mr. Kennedy’s wounds were all self inflicted. I mourn his passing and will pray for him, but I have no illusions about his hypocrisy, cruelty, selfishness, and deceit.

“Why he kept getting elected in MASS certainly explains the intelligence of the Irish. This most ‘disgusting’ excuse of a man could have stood on a podium yelling ‘FISH FOR SALE’, and the Irish would have screamed, applauded, and hollered for more.. Yep, IQ’s of a turkey.” Barbara – GG in Cali

Wow–I haven’t heard rabid anti-Irish crap like that since the last time I watched “The Gangs of New York.” Why Kennedy kept getting elected in Massachusetts is explained by the lack of intelligence of the LIBERALS. Here’s one raging conservative, moral, teetotalling, Kennedy-hating Irishman who is glad the pig is dead. If you mean the liberal Boston slobs of whom many are of Irish descent, please specify so.

What I don’t understand about Good Time Teddy the Sandwich King is why somebody didn’t waste him like his brothers.

Brendan Smith   August 28th, 2009 - 4:01 pm

None of what I’m about to say excuses the behavior described in this story…

Being and official Kennedy hater, I loathe to say this; but I doubt he was ever in that car. Look, when Mary Jo was found, the diver said she was clinging to the roof of the car where an air bubble had formed. If Ted had been in the car and managed to open the door before the car submerged, no air bubble would’ve formed.
Had Ted escaped out an open window, No air bubble would’ve formed and why wouldn’t
Mary Jo escape through said window. Also, there is no physical way a closed door
could’ve been opened once the car was submerged. The water pressure on the outside
of the door would’ve made this impossible. Thus Ted would’ve been killed too.

I think a story told to me by an Edgartown native, who knows the area pretty well,
is the most likely story. They’re on the beach fooling around, about to be discovered.
He’s a married man and a senator. He hands her the keys and says go to your hotel.
He goes back to his. She doesn’t know the area, she’s from out of town. Misses the
angled bridge, which didn’t have a guard rail back then and in she goes.

Like I said, I can’t stand the Kennedy’s and Ted is the worst of the bunch but,
there it is.

Poor deluded Barbra! Ted was never a gallant, caring individual. He only cared about himself. Barbra, you should apologize to the Kopechne family for your remarks. How utterly irreverent of you! Nostromo is right, Ted was born to a life of priviledge. That priviledge was borne out of a career that his father created…selling illegal booze. That entire family has lived a lie and some of the public continue to close their eyes to it. Poor Mary Jo never had the chance to live her life, to marry, have children and watch them grow up. She remained trapped inside that watery grave while Ted swam away to safety. I wonder what he was hiding? Hmmm. Gallantry was never a part of Ted’s psyche, nor was he caring, nor was he working for the American public. He was the murderer of Mary Jo Kopechne, and promoted the murders of millions of unborn children. What’s so gallant about that, Barbra?

Bill   August 28th, 2009 - 4:06 pm

America will be better without the Liar of the Senate. He joked about the killing of an innocent girl and his friends found this acceptable? They are all so dispicable. Teddy will be remembered by many as the student expelled from Harvard, a drunk, a philanderer, an adulterer, a liar, a murderer, an irresponsible Uncle who while spending time with his nephew allowed a young girl to be raped.

What a horrible guy.

Good riddance
