If my GOP friends ever asked me why I think the "party of Lincoln" has become the party of bigotry, I would point them to House Bill 295 recently introduced in the Texas legislature by Republic Representative Leo Berman. The bill would would require any candidate for president or vice president of the United States "to show his or her birth certificate to the Texas secretary of state."
According to Berman, "This bill is necessary because we have a president whom the American people don't know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place." The bill itself is reported to read that, "the secretary of state may not certify the name of a candidate for president or vice-president unless the candidate has presented the original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural-born United States citizen."
In 2008 John McCain who actually was born outside of the United States on a military base gets a bi-partisan resolution in the Senate affirming that he's a natural born US citizen. One of the bill's co-sponsors, Barack Obama, gets targeted in a Republican controlled legislature. Enough said.
